Columbus gets 2015 All-Star Game

[Samkow]

Uhh...is there an option for neither?

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

CBJ seeks to "expand" footprint to Ohio while attracting a buzzier crowd. NHL looks to "prove" it's in a big market in Cbus by having one of the biggest acts going rep its hometown. Both make sense.

But I'm with Sam. Prefer neither.

OAR - also not a big fan but - is from Columbus - wouldn't that work? Twentyone Pilots if you want the kids.

Isn't only one guy from Rascal Flatts from Columbus? I don't care much, either way, but Dallas had the Robert Randolph Family Band and I vote for them! Or, since I'm from Steubenville...

Can Traci Lords carry a tune?

One Olentangy grad one Tree of Life grad.

That's good stuff.

Or, since I'm from Steubenville...

No, she cannot.

That won't play on my iPad, so I'll just take your word for it. Another devastating disappointment!

The bass player in RRFB is from Columbus so that's close enough for me!

Technically, O.A.R. calls Rockville, MD home but they made their name as students at OSU. I used to enojy them several years ago but their fan crowd is pretty douchy. The band has been banned from Jones Beach Amphitheater because of how bad their fans have been. Not the band's fault by any means but they seem to draw a ton of underage kids who think they can drink and not get caught.

Definitely excited to see the full details next week. Anyone know what prices were for previous years ASGs?

Roughly $200 per person for the weekend. I think the skills competition was around $75 and the ASG was around $125. I don't recall if that was the flat price no matter where in the arena or just for the upper level. I seem t remember it was a flat price.

I think that was just the upper bowl price.

Isn't that where troo fans sit anyways?

 

[db2011]

If there's a question about musical acts for the ASG in Columbus, they should be the Pretenders and Dwight Yoakam. It's pretty obvious.

Dave Grohl lived in Cbus for a while...

 

[Inglewood JACKets]

Clapton?

Joe Walsh

 

[Jaxs]

I'd like to see Clapton, Walsh and Grohl together.

Some kids were practicing in the garage in my parents neighborhood. They didn't completely suck. I'll ask their moms if they're busy.

 

[joshjoshjosh]

I had to google Rascal Flatts.

 

[Kev22]

I believe Vince Gill has some Columbus connections as well.

 

[PuckNerd]

Akron, Columbus, let's throw in Cleveland and get MGK too. There's also Bobaflex from Point Pleasant,WV who has a large Columbus fanbase. However I doubt those two have the high name value of a Rascal Flatts. The weekend will be fun regardless I'm sure.

Anybody got a feel for the resale value of good not great (217 row L) tix?

Resale for what? If you mean the ASG, you aren't guaranteed your existing seats.

Correction:

I hadn't gone through and reserved mine yet. It apparently assigns tickets in real time. I don't recall that being the case 2 years ago when I reserved them.

This is the ASG thread right? That is the location identified in my ASG email.
