Over the last few weeks, we've all seen the threads where people complained because Hanson didn't schedule a tour stop here, there, or elsewhere.  There have also been threads where others post where they're going and how many different concerts they've been to.

Is there anyone who specifically chooses not to go to a concert?  And not because they don't like the venue or city or because they have scheduling conflicts (class, jobs, kids).  Are there people who, if someone handed them a pair of tickets, would turn them down?

If you are one of these people, say so, and leave a reason.  I'll tell mine in time, I just don't want to make this an overly-long post. :)

Me...I want to, but can't. Now, if someone I knew was to magically hand me free tickets to a show that was super close I would have to seriously consider it, but even then if it was conflicting with something I needed to do I wouldn’t go. I’ll go see Hanson again (I saw them one time in '97) one day (hopefully many more concerts), but when the timing is right.

LA, SD and Anaheim are all close to me but I'm not going this tour. I'm not excited by their shows anymore at all. And I feel like when I buy the ticket, I'm basically just putting money in their pockets for their children.

My mom and I said that yesterday after the announcement of Taylor/Natalie baby #4... That they keep touring because they're gonna have seven college funds to pay for. Haha.

I thought about not going to the show in New York, and just going to the walk there instead. I can get to and from New York for cheap, but the cost of the concert ticket and hotel is pretty insane. It's do-able... but insane. It's crazy that this thought has even crossed my mind because I've been waiting for The Walk Tour to hit NYC, but I think I was always more excited for the actual walk in NYC than the show.

So, I don't know what I'm doing. 

I turned down tickets back during the TTA Tour in 00...  My friend and I got into a fight and I refused to go to the show with her.  I wanted to pay for a cab to get around NYC b/c I wasn't familiar with the city at the time.  She insisted upon taking a subway, which NEITHER of us really knew how to work our way around.  I told her I wanted to be safe, and told her I would pay for our cab fare BOTH WAYS and she still refused.  (She's controlling).

I told her to keep the tickets and I'd go see them some other time.  It came down to the principle of the matter and I wouldn't give in.

I have no doubt that they love it, and I love it when they tour. I went to five shows on the last leg and had the time of my life. But because they keep touring so close together, and they keep hitting up the same areas, it makes me think that they think we're all made of money... and they have no doubt that we'll do whatever it takes to get to their shows.

The prices are getting ridiculous, though. I only have tickets to two shows and they're $95 total. About $25-$30 in that is service charges, but still. Ahh. It's nuts. 

Im a newer fan I guess you could say and will be going to my second hanson concert in october. so because im a newer fan, i will most likely continue going to their concerts. they put on such a great live show! im going to my second hanson concert in october and im psyched!

what other reasons would you choose not to go unless you couldnt find a way there, you had something else planned for that day or just another scheduling conflict?

i know the only reason i would NOT go to a hanson show would be:

1) if they were playing WAY to far way from where i live.

2) if i couldnt find a way to get there. (i dont drive on the highway and im afraid of traveling by myself.)

3) if their ticket prices went up. (which i dont ever see that happening. at least i hope not!)

4) if i had something planned the day of a show that absolutely could not miss like a wedding or something.

3) if their ticket prices went up. (which i dont ever see that happening. at least i hope not!)

I've been going to shows since the alberane tour, and that's already happened.

I'd like to think I would, but you and I both know that won't happen! I am skipping 12 days of school this semester because I "need" to see Hanson. hahaha

Once should be enough, but it's not. I fell bad about it, but now that I've been to more I can't stop. They seriously are like drugs, I can go to one, ok two, THREE MAX! Then it turns into 11...
