Don't be nervous...the area of Worcester where the show is being held is actually decent. If you read my previous posts on Page 5, i note my recent experience checking out the area this past Friday. You have nothing to worry about, as the town will be packed with Queen Freaks. Are you driving in, or taking the train in from the city?
I am just like you. I have waited until the last possible moment to purchase a ticket. I am hoping i will find a nice one. You should be able to still buy tickets at the Box Office right up until showtime....that is unless the show is a sell out but i doubt that would happen in this case. I mean, if the momumental NJ show was NOT a sell-out, then neither will Worcester. My plan is to wait and see what is availible online right up until the night before. I may very well just wait and buy directly at the venue. No matter sort of seat i end up with, it won't matter too much as just being there will be worthwhile in itself. I was at the NJ show and the entire day leading up to the actual show that night was fantastic. I will never forget that experience..it was a very special show for me on many levels.
Yes, the latest weather forcast for MA this Friday is Springlike weather! YESSss!!! We are talking 60 degrees which is "warm" in these parts at this time of year. Dress light, but bring a sweatshirt definately or a light coat. Southerners traveling up for the gig should dress heavy...it will feel chilly to you trust me!
Speaking of such....who here is traveling from out of state to see this particular show? I have a feeling this show will be special.....can not wait!!!!
Yes, a "tailgate" party would be fab. I while back i suggested a get together in Boston but it seemed that not many responded or simply were'nt staying in the city itself. That's ok...its just i am not familiar with Worcester and the area around the venue very well to immediately suggest a suitable spot. There IS however a large parking lot behind the DCU that could be a possible location. I do not know what their policy is though regarding tailgating is though....i wouldnt want anything negative to happen to anyone on this grand day out. There is also areas between the venue and the train station that are like public downtown areas that would be suitable for gathering. Again, i do not know if there would be rule breaking going on if we set up camp here to party down pre-show....
Worse comes to worse, we could all just meet in front of the DCU main entrance ( on Foster ST.) at a pre-determined time and hang out there, or then decided where to go from there.
There is also a large shopping complex across from the venue that has many resturants ( quick-serve style) and i assume shops. Again, this is info i have gathered in my quest to learn as much as a can in a short amount of time...its not from personally being there!
I'm very excited though and i have'nt even booked a room or bought a ticket yet! Crazy...i know....and it's not like me at all to put things off like this. I'm not nervous though.....something good will come of all this i'm sure. Hopefully my therory of waiting to buy tix close to the date will prove to be successfull. I heard many times in the past about the best seats going up day of show. We'll see....:)

Good question.
I would say everyone meet up outside of the venue around 6 ish. Sound good? From there i guess we can decided what we would like to do as a group then.
I am glad Roxanne and a few others have found this thread. I was going to start on on QOL as that is where i spend most of my time there when compared to here but there did'nt seem to be any interest. This is where the thread seemed to take off, so i continued to add to it here at QueenZone.
Yes, Friday is going to freaking ROCK HARD! I cannot express the excitement i am feeling right at this moment. If the Band is concerned about there not being enough excitement being generated about these US shows then i have to say it's not entirely true. For the long time fans, this is VERY exciting in many ways....and for the most part i have seen absolutely NO promotion whatsoever up here. However, it seems that those who need to know, KNOW...which is great! Worcester is going to be a packed house, full of VERY enthused fans. Nobody rocks like Boston...and they will soon be reminded of that!
Woo hoo....here comes WorcesterWonderland!!

So 6PM it is folks...
Ya hear that everyone??
Worcester Meet Up!
Meet in front of the DCU Center around 6pm to get this party started! Wear your finest Queen finery ( cool shirts people!) to be instantly spotted by others! Be a standout!
Let's give Queen a fantastic and worthy welcome to there old home in MA! Yeah, it's not Boston proper but it's as close as we get this time around. Be thankfull for this day...we are VERY VERY lucky to have them performing in MA! Brian seems a little glum at the lack of excitement US cities have been showing them ( no posters?? LET"S MAKE OUR OWN!! Bring em' to the show!!)so let's give em' a showing like they have'nt seen yet!
I'll see you all there!
Ah yes...and to Pssteeler.....i appreciate your offer but i only really need one ticket. I'm holding out to the very end as i have heard time and again that the best seats go up day of show. Wish me luck! :)

Sounds good everybody! I'll be wearing my omni-present black Adidas jacket (my Queen shirt will be on underneath!) Looking forward to shaking Deacon's First Choice's hand. He has been a great "captain" of this thread, and my hat goes off to him.
roxxanne61 · Member since

Can't wait to meet you guys

LOL
SEE YA SOON
JMIV · Member since
Will be there in my black leather hat & jacket with my brand spanking new Queen shirt! (my old one has so many holes in it but I can't bear to throw it out!!) Taking the wife who has never understood my fascination with Queen but will after seeing this show ROCK! Let's show Queen that we folk from New England can get into it as well as the fans back abroad! 2 more days! whoo hoo!

WHOOOO HOOOOO! Just bought a floor ticket row B!!!! Thanks Deacons First Choice for convincing me to wait. Hope you manage to get yours too.
I was getting a bit nervous there as ticketmaster would only give me the option to buy with a US or Canadian address. Thankfully an international call to the US managed to sort that out.
See you all there!
roxxanne61 · Member since
we're getting really close now
anyone else feel the high anxiety, ANTICIPATION??
I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!
Deacons 1st Choice · Member since
BRILLIANT NEWS PAUL!!! CONGRATS MATE!!
I just looked at Ticketmaster before coming here to read the posts, and see they are starting to sell the the first few rows of the Lower sections ( rows KK, LL, etc..which are in front of rows C thru etc..). I am happy to see this. Yes, i'm STILL waiting...even though i am VERY tempted to buy one of these seats being listed now. It's hard to know what to do, but my gut instinct is to WAIT!
I also just made my hotel confirmation at the Hampton. Eek it was expensive...and it feels strange to be paying to stay in a hotel in my own state for once! Ha ha!! Now all i need is the most important item: A good ticket!
I'm really glad to hear this thread has helped a lot of folks out. Let's keep the momentum going! Most of the Classic Rock radio stations here in Boston are going nuts in the promotion department with ads, ticket giveaways, and WZLX is giving away front row seats Thursday to one lucky listener! All you have to do is listen all day Thursday and call in when you hear a Queen song followed immediately by a Paul Rogers tune. Good luck folks.....

Aww well that's right neighborly of you....
I should mention that the place to meet will be at the MAIN DCU ENTRANCE, which is where the Box Office is on Foster Street. There is another entrance down the road, but i think this is only for conventions and other events in the halls the DCU has seperate from the venue.
Hope to see a lot of fans there....we need to show some support for the Band !

Yay! Tailgating! So it's the Box Office on Foster Street? Shame there isn't a bar nearby, but let's tailgate!!!
