steecoe: They did before the chicago show. Detroit sucks for getting good tickets, always has.

The ONLY time I ever got a great seat there was for King’s X and Dream Theater years ago. Bought tickets the day before the show and got front row. It was amazing. They didn’t have the detailed seating chart back then and it didn’t show rows. I got row AAA and thought I was all the way in the back. Turned out I was in the pit sitting on a folding chair front row.

Which reminds me: After the show Petrucci threw some pics into the pit and we were all kinda elbowing to get them. Some punk security guy came up and shoved me and I shoved him back and then a bunch of people pounced on me. They dragged me up to the top of the venue and took me to the security station and I was friggin’ livid. I told the little punk security he was an asshole that EVERYONE was pushing to get picks that were thrown and there was no reason to single me out. His supervisor agreed and they let me go. I wanted to punch that little prick in the throat.
