but anyways - I'm also a poor student, but I'd still wager it's much more expensive for me to see MA

(option 1)
Washington, DC show... which is after I'm moving, but it's def more desireable of a show
$200 - $300 for plane tickets
$25 - $35 for tickets to the show
~ a full day of air travel, unless I can get a direct flight, which is rare

then, if I want to take a lady friend or whatnot, then x2 for the tickets... and if I want a hotel, and can't crash at a friends place then let's tack on another like... what $400 depending on rates and how long I stay - but it'd almost definitely be more

so all in all - including meals (and I'm prolly off on hotel costs) it's going to run me somewhere in the $1,000 ballpark, conservitively speaking


(option 2)
Chicago Show
• $25 - $35 for tickets to the show, and definitely would have to buy an extra ticket
• ~5 hours driving + full tank of gas, snacks (so like with the cost of gas these days, that's going to run ~$50 one way)
• and then you've also got hotel accomodations, meals and whatnot

so either way, I'm going to spend a rediculous ammount of money if and when I see Massive Attack

Hmmmmmm point noted!

Nothing is cheap. It will be worth it though. You'll have to report back and gloat!

tix for Houston are $45, so you might want to up your estimates a little.

[joethelion]

anyone anxious at the fact that NONE of these new dates are listed on the MA's own page?

and that you can't find them on ticketmaster, or at least on the Washington, DC show's website?

It's all about supply and demand.

Most of the lesser known foreign bands do this to get a feel of how many people are planning to show. In MA's situation, there's always been question of outright dislike towards them from Americans as The Massive has always been critical of our govts foreign affairs.

Just look at the arrogance towards Sinead, and gasp(shit!) she's now one of them.
