RE: Concerts 2013

Michael W Smith has been taken off of the parks website. When you look on his website, it says that he will be playing at Busch Gardens on Friday June 28th.

What do we have on the bolded dates?

Also, I don't know when or where the park will announce this; but they have decided to continue to hand out tickets for general admission seating for the concerts. You arrive at the theater, grab a ticket, play in the park until it is time for music. If you wait in line, you are only waiting for closer seats. If you don't show up, there will be a time before the concert starts, like so many minutes prior to the show, and then they will start filling seats. They did this for Victoria Justice and it seemed to work decently until people lined up to start getting in and the line went all the way to England, the first day.

I'm not familiar with the concerts at the park. Are they always this milquetoast?

As a musician, I find this list really disappointing.

All I know is my Fiancee is super excited about the Currington guy.

Don't know if anyone posted this but it appears you can buy your reserved seats for the concerts now.

Tickets are $15-$30 + tax. You get reserved seating and a dining certificate. I was not able to get the pass member discount through their online site.

Enjoy a appetizing dinner from any of the park’s signature restaurants, then find a seat in the Royal Palace Theatre reserved seating section for the concert you have selected. The reserved seating offers great views of your favorite artists.

The dining certificate is redeemable at any Busch Gardens® Williamsburg restaurant for an entrée and a regular sized non-alcoholic beverage. Present certificate to cashier at any Busch Gardens restaurant.
The reserved seating ticket must be presented to a team member at the Royal Palace Theatre 30 minutes before concert start time.

The prices are different for each show. For example, Mary Mary is $15, Styx is $22, Casting Crowns is $30.

Sorry. You're right!

Can you buy it at the park and get a pass discount?

 

[pandorazboxx]

RE: Concerts 2013

I don't know. I won't be at the park for a while.

From the Dining Certificates page:

"Busch Gardens Williamsburg Concert Dining Combo
Rock out with your favorite band from great seats, reserved just for you. Enjoy an appetizing dinner from any of the park’s delicious restaurants then find a seat in the reserved seating section for the concert you have selected at the Royal Palace Theatre in time for the show.
Guest (Ages 3 & Up) From $15.00 Qty"

If I read this & understood correctly, you get a meal and reserved seating for whatever show you pick. Sounds like a deal to me; especially if you were gonna eat anyway. I'm doing it for STYX!!

Just ordered my VIP tickets for Styx and just as an FYI- I called Busch Gardens to verify: no special discounts apply to the VIP seating for concerts this year (season passes, employee, etc). Prices are as marked. Oh well.. but still- it is a good deal when you think about it.

Got mine! See you at STYX!!

RE: Concerts 2013

CK- Let's meet up at the Smokehouse. I hope we are sitting close by you guys. My husband and I will be there and we cannot wait!

For those unfamiliar with Japanese... the lines in the song translate to:

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto (Thank you Mr. Robot)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Mata au hi made (until we meet again)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Himitsu wo shiritai (I want to know the secret)

 

[Planeteer]

RE: Concerts 2013

Domo arigato, Nora san.

RE: Concerts 2013

I really hope they play that song. I know there was some issues before, but after reading about it, as I understand it, there are no legal issues preventing it. Rather it is a choice. Hope they are feeling like some Mr. Roboto this day.

I'm gonna be upsetting some people. Up front reserved seating with a 6'5" man. Some poor kids will probably be behind me.
