Rooney touring with... VANESSA HUDGENS?!

You've GOT to be kidding me. I did some digging on the Jackson County Fair website and discovered that Rooney is opening for Vanessa Hudgens. EEEK! What is the world coming to?

To top it off... tickets will look like this...

2 ADULT Admissions TK NORTH Row 4 5 - 6 $26.00 each $52.00 total


Sub Total $52.00

Convenience Fee $10.00

Handling Fee $2.75

Amount to be charged to your credit card $64.75

For just two tickets. I'd pay that to see Rooney alone but not to see her. I wouldn't pay a dime. This is the closest to me that Rooney has ever played and I actually question whether i'm going to go or not. It's that bad. I'd normally give my right arm to go but this time... we'll see. If anyone is interested in purchasing tickets... they are on sale right now. They actually went on sale today 5/8/08 at 10 a.m.

I thought he might do that at the Chicago show earlier this week, he did not..... As I mentioned before, my friend and I were allowed to sit in the bar area (there are two, one that flanks each side of the stage/pit) and it was great, b/c it was not crowded. I think there were some parents amongst us, but it was hard to tell who was a parent and who was a fan...and, frankly, once the music started, I wasn't really paying attention to the attendees.

Rock Mommy, have you brought Ethan to a Rooney show? Or are you waiting on that? Just curious :)

I was like damnit!!! it's so much more powerful (and realistic) when he says "fucked" :)

He didn't sing it like that at the Detroit show. He didn't even sing the correct lyric of "kissed all your girlfriends." I think he said "Played" or something else really really low-key and innocent. I was excited to hear "fucked" but I can only imagine what the large bald father in the front row would have thought.

Very similar but larger... much larger... like a giant paper plate size

What's with all the Disney kids playing shows with Rooney?

And shouldn't it be the other way around?

I think Vanessa Hudgens should be opening for them.

She's got no cred.

No kind of what cred? She's got the kind of cred that draws asses into seats and dollars into pockets.

Also, what the fuck is an elephant ear?

Hey... you look pretty tall in that picture. Were you standing to the left ish of me at the show in Detroit? Were you with another tall girl? haha. I had an orange tank on and shorts.

I may just go to the show... sit through Rooney and then leave and get an elephant ear. Sounds like a night to me!

My plan exactly

Well, it's hardly a tour.. Isn't it only 2 dates? But I do see how it sucks for you! Seeing Rooney headline is much better than them opening (and that basicly goes no matter what band they'd be opening for ;D)

I'm just not surprised...how is this any different than touring with Kelly Clarkson, the Jonas Brothers, and any of the other young pop stars? There's two ways to look at it: (1) Good for them, get as much exposure as possible, especially if that means tapping into a younger (read: disposable income) demographic that will become fans (read: record/tour sales) for several years, or (2) See all previous posts about people complaining about the new kind of fans.

It always comes down to $ and cents....I'm sure Rooney has artisitic intentions, but there's got to be pressure from their label to pick up sales and continue to market their brand.
