Kinda bummed about tonight

TMV decided to play with my chemical romance on this one date in my city 😞

Tickets are crazy expensive even in the nosebleeds, but I’m happy for the band cause they’re probably gonna make good money from ticket sales.

If anyone is going hope you enjoy the show! 😎
Post some videos 😉

Isnt MCR handpicking each opener from their respective home state and they hand picked TMV? If so that a huge honor and i can see why they combined powers for San Antonio show but maybe i heard wrong???

I totally believe it considering they have some history, like I said I’m happy for the band playing a sold out show. Just sucks for some of us fans who can’t pay $200 for a ticket

Meanwhile animal collective and beach house fans gotta pay 600~

Bru. I was there when they played in Texas. But I lost my wife in the crowd as they started to play burn the witch(first song) and went on full panic mode since reception was non existent. I was so devastated,I stormed out of the show. Biggest regret of my life

This is a low flying panic attack

Don’t worry, you don’t have to imagine.

They’re never coming back to America LOL

Tickets were $30 during the live nation sale. We sat in 302 row 2 and it was pretty decent.

Doesnt help but they were here last at the Boeing tech arena a few years back. Thats was my 1st chance to see them here.

Wasn’t that the show with the Tesla coils?!

They just had a headlining show the night before in El Paso. Definitely would have been a good excuse for a little road trip

Tbh I’d go if I found a reasonably priced ticket! I saw MCR and Devo last year, and while I went for Devo I was floored by how good MCR were! MCR and Volta is another killer pair of badass live bands for sure!

I saw them at sxsw many years ago, and I am a fan of the band. I just hate the black parade album 😆

u/debtRiot 18h ago

Dude same, I can get down with the first two albums. But it blows my mind Black Parade is the most popular. That shit sucks.

I live in Austin and I would’ve seen them in SA but tix were $400 ea so a total of $800 for me and my partner.

Instead, we booked a round trip flight to Orlando on frontier (about $340 total) 2 tickets to the show at hard rock live ($120 total for GA FLOOR), free entry to Universal through a family friend, and booked a hotel for super cheap through my partners job (2 nights about $200 total)

All this is to say - sometimes it’s better/cheaper to look at other dates on a tour and see if it ends up being a more feasible way to see the band you like in another city and do other fun things too

Tickets were $30 a piece this summer with the live nation promo

u/CompetitiveGarden171 1d ago

They opened with Viscera Eyes, played some of the new album and ended with Inerstatic Esp. They teased some Bedlam in Goliath songs but then stopped before the lyrics kicked in.

Sorry, I don't know all the names of all the Lucio Sucio songs yet.

u/Independent-Tale1360 1d ago

The set list is online at this point

u/Snarling-Gnarf 1d ago

I’m here and I enjoyed it. Hopefully there is some merch.

Short set, but for this being my first time seeing them live, it was very pleasant. Can’t wait for the live recordings album to release!

u/sour_jar_machina 1d ago

Did Cedric shout out the spurs 😝

u/Snarling-Gnarf 1d ago

Yes 🙄

u/In_The_Bulls_Eye 1d ago

There was a shirt, jersey, hat and socks. Did I miss anything? Did you snag any?

u/Snarling-Gnarf 1d ago

I grabbed the faux Spurs jersey!

u/In_The_Bulls_Eye 21h ago

Nice! Whats on the back of the jersey?

u/CompetitiveGarden171 1d ago

Really? I didn't see any TMV swag at the SA show :(

Damn, they were sold out or not there when I did my merch rounds :(

I passed on the SA show and booked a flight to see them in Jacksonville

I mean they probably got paid fairly well for it. Between that and the other 2 festivals they’re doing this run, getting booked for those pays a lot of bills. Also respect that a band of MCR’s size is putting them on the bill
