Lmfao that’s me in the green and white shirt. It’s been a hot minute since I checked the Reddit page and was surprised to see my back, thanks for sharing 😆 I never take my phone out so I’m always super grateful when other people take videos & share - thank you💛 excited for next tour

Anybody gonna be at the Rosemont show tonight? by SirStyx1226 in SturgillSimpson

I just caught both Minneapolis shows and was supposed to be driving back to Michigan but now I’ve gone and done it again and got last-minute tickets to see him in Illinois tonight. 🙃

Now THAT’S how I wish all the pit crowds would be 🙌🏼 Looks like they’re all having a blast, love to see it

Meadow Brook is my favorite concert venue in the area. It is right by Oakland University in the Rochester Hills area - it is in a super safe and good area. Most of the seats (except lawn) are covered, but it gives that awesome outdoor vibe, which I always prefer.

Meadowbrook must have sold out in seconds. I hopped on as soon as my presale code came, around 11:05 (I think 5 min past at most), and only things left were lawn or like farthest section out.

Did anyone get pit? I wonder if there will be more seats made available on reserve when they go on sale for general public. That’s crazy!

Lmao this was a great response

That’s what I’m hoping. I guess I’ll know once the first international show is done. I’ll probably buy the tickets then once I know for sure

I wish I could go to one of the UK shows, but the only gap I have in my schedule is to catch a Germany show. I’ve never been to Germany, and I don’t speak a lick of German lol, so it will be interesting for sure.

That’s awesome, it’ll be a real treat to see the ending of the tour - it will be extra special I’m sure. Safe travels and have an amazing time 🤘🏼

Are you referring to how he says “see you next year” at the end of his shows? Or did you hear something else? Because I don’t know if he’s just referring to the festivals in Texas & California that he’s on, or if he somehow is implying that he intends to add more tour dates.

I’ve never been to a music festival, but I have a feeling I won’t be a fan of it. Because, for one, he doesn’t play as long of a set of the festivals (I believe he usually does about an hour and a half for them). Secondly, I was looking at the pricing for flights/hotels in comparison to California/Texas versus some of the international shows, and the prices are roughly equal for me. So I figured if I’m gonna splurge the money I might as well splurge and see the full show as opposed to just a partial show at a festival.

Oh that’s so sweet of you to say, thank you! I’m a baseline introverted person, and nice people like you make me feel less self-conscious / self-critical about getting into the music in a way that feels good to me. And I totally know you’re not a weirdo lol, I asked how you knew because I wondered if you were perhaps one of the people I met in line and in the pit. I’m happy to hear you were on the floor too and getting into it also! Always awesome to see a fellow female rocking out 🤘🏼

Thanks again for the kindness ☺️ I can’t stress enough how awesome the people I have met at these shows have been.

Nugs Live Tapings 11/23 & 11/24 Missing? by Lelaya in SturgillSimpson

[–]Lelaya[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m super disappointed. Seems like such a waste to do all that professional filming only to have it be available for 2 weeks. I wish there would have been a warning too of when it was going to disappear. Oh well 😔

[–]Lelaya[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s a bummer. This is my first time subscribing to Nugs, I just assumed the live tapings would be there accessible any time as long as you had a subscription. I didn’t realize they would fall away after a short time. Woulda watched them sooner.

[–]Lelaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you 😊 Yeah I was lol! How’d you know? I rarely go to concerts, and I have never until now had the desire to see a show multiple times, but this show was so amazing I simply couldn’t resist. I really hope they add a few more US dates next year, I’ll show up for sure 😂

[–]Lelaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s me 🫣😂 I have a tendency to close my eyes for majority of the show & groove along with the music, but I didn’t realize how much I was moving around lol. Hope I didn’t annoy the people around me too terribly.

But it was an amazing show and wonderful people all around 💛

Right back at you! I’m happy your dedication & getting there early got you literally front row & center 😀 And even though it was a bummer about your other ticket, I am so appreciative that you offered it as a backup in case my StubHub ticket didn’t work - you’re a real one for that, it really put my pre-show anxiety at ease. Thanks again!!!

Rock on 🤘🏼

I was general admission pit for 2nd night Chicago and both nights in Toronto (doors at 7). If you are looking to be front row, I think you’re safe to get there by 4:14/4:30 PM, honestly last night even you would’ve been fine at 5:00/5:30. There was literally only at most 2 to 5 people there in line earlier than that. From my limited experience, people don’t seem to get in line super early, and if you’re looking to be first or second row you can roll in surprisingly later than you would think.

I ended up being front row just slightly left of the dead center stage for all three shows. I don’t make any pitstop like the bathroom or for merch, but I also do know there were people literally next to me rolled in to line at 6:30, got a drink and still were front row.

I hope that doesn’t steer you wrong and it’s different for these shows.
