Anja Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The only thing I´ve been eagerly waiting for since more than four years is finally taking place and I can´t make it!?!?! Anyone wants to spare a change for me and help me making it to Berkeley in September? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amelialoh1992 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The new york times article was printed into my local papers! Now all my friends are going to think that Green Day sold out. Grrrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan. Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I hate this. It's ruining the album for me. Luckily, another album is here to save the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendayfan518 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 So who else has already bought tickets (besides those of you I already know from twitter and facebook)?Me! For Sept 4th- if I can't make it, I can always sell the ticket I guess- It's a really GOOD SEAT!Here are my opinions on the whole thing:I've been reading all the comments on here and for the first time I am seeing a LOT of negativity amongst the fans. Well, you don't have to like the idea of American Idiot becoming a theatrical production, but no one is twisting your arm to see it either. It's not like it's going to invade your world through the TV or the radio- you don't even have to push a button or turn a knob to get rid of it. You either go to the show or you don't. If they can make a series of Friday the 13th movies, whats so bad about rehashing American Idiot in a completely different medium? To think that American Idiot meant enough to Michael Mayer to devote his time and energy into it must mean that he loves Green Days work as much as we do. Combine that passion with the fact that Billie Joe has discussed the treatment and given his approval for it is good enough for me. Billie is smart and he wouldn't give the go ahead on something that really sucked. Has he EVER let us down before? And to Who-ever said The Who > Green Day, why don't you go hang out on the Who's forum? And to Who-ever said, There would be no Green Day with out The Who: Just because The Who was a band before Green Day was born and were an influence to Green Day doesn't make them any greater of a band. BTW- I saw Tommy in the theater when I was 9 years old...I like The Who.It's a short run of 5 shows- Billies family and friends could probably sell out one of them all by themselves, seeing it is in his hometown.

Tripe Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Got a ticket for 9/4, too. I don't honestly know how I am going to manage getting out there for this at that time of year, but I did go ahead and buy a ticket. Like Cheryl, I have a "patient-up-until-now" husband. I'll think about that later.It's something I really want to see, though. And all of you, too, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The good thing about knowing this far in advance is that you have months to figure out a way to tell your husband. Plus, months to let him calm down since you just took a trip to L.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirik Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 That's great!

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm still not too fond of the idea, but now it's out there anyway, I want to go. (which, of course, is not possible)... that sounded a bit hypocritical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anja Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 How much are the tickets and where do you get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripe Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Anja - tickets for the preview nights are available on the Berkeley Rep theater site:http://www.berkeleyrep.org/season/0910/3634.aspThey are $32-54 and can only be purchased online. There is a small service fee, $5 or $7 or something like that. Can you manage to get back to the states for this?The good thing about knowing this far in advance is that you have months to figure out a way to tell your husband. Plus, months to let him calm down since you just took a trip to L.A.This is true. Not mentioning it for awhile is probably a good thing.
