Anyone else headed to the Q this Sunday? This will be my 10th year in a row. Definitely has become a Christmas tradition in my family.

I just want to say that it pisses me off that Cleveland and Cincy get TSO BEFORE Christmas and Columbus always gets them after Christmas

I almost went to the columbus show one year. It was definitely before Christmas. I've also gone to Cleveland twice after Christmas. Once a couple days after, and once on new year's eve. And I know that Cleveland is the place where TSO got started. They have been going there since the beginning, so they may get some better dates sometimes.

I've seen the show in Columbus. I know for a fact it was the week before Christmas.

I caught the show last week in Salt Lake City. Always a great time. Their set-up this year is, as in every year, incredible.

LMAO! What? All they've done for them? You mean allow them to play in the city? Cleveland should be happy any name goes there.

Oh YE of little knowledge. It was 98.5 in Cleveland that came to to them with the idea of taking the show on the road. They then went through with it and the show has gone from playing venues with 3,000 people to arenas. So that is what I mean when I say all that CLEVELAND has done for them.

Sounds more like a radio station has done for them. This shouldn't be taken as a slight to Cleveland, probably more like thats the best option financially for them. Sorry, Cleveland is a dying town, could make much more money playing closer to christmas in better markets. Tough break but reality.

It makes no difference where and when the play cities. Every show is sold out anyways, ESPECIALLY in Cleveland.

I went last year ...very good ....but I'm somewhat sensitive strobe and high intense light type shows and this was a little over the top… I got a headache

However I enjoy what I could and everyone else had a great time… next time I will be stoned to avoid the headache

Is this your way of saying; "Oh I didn't realize that! Sorry for being an asshole."

I've seen them here in Toledo a couple of times. The show has really benefitted from the Huntington Center as opposed to Seagate. I think its great they still play the small to mid markets. They don't have to come to Toledo, the two shows they do doesn't even add up to one show in a bigger city, but they still come, put on Mud Hens gear and rock it out. Love em.

Nope its a nice way of telling you that Cleveland the city sucks and is a cess pool. A ticket in cleveland will be far less money than a ticket in a real city which is why Cleveland is being slighted here, bc its broke, with no jobs, and no future. Nice trying to put words in my mouth FAIL.

Cleveland tickets dont see for as much, nor do have as many seats/people as other markets. Thats why they're only doing one show and so early in the season. I tried to explain this to you earlier but it went over your head, not suprised.

It's sold out cleveland because there is no other reason to come out of your house than to see them. Honestly, what the hell is worth doing outside your home in Cleveland? Nothing! It's a cloudy hell hole of a city that reminds you everyday that people outside of cleveland have it better than you.
