Rooney

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.

Hey! I'm new to the community here, but I've been a Rooney fan for awhile. It was a tough decision to decide whether or not to go to the show in Jackson (my hometown) next Friday. I really don't care that much about Vanessa Hudgens. I've seen HSM and whatnot, but I have no desire to see her live. But I just got my tickets today, so they aren't the greatest.

Anyone else going to the Jackson show?

i am! where are your seats?

I just got them today, so I'm in box 12. I'm from Jackson so I've been to concerts there before. The only track seats left were row 17 and back, and from there you aren't able to see anything! So I chose box seats instead. I like your picture with Robert! Do you just see if they're around after the show? Because I would love to track them down at the fair!

My friend and I are going to get there early, leave after Rooney, and attempt to find them so we can say hello. I can't believe the first show I went to see them at was four years ago! *sigh* those were the good old days... before they were opening acts for Disney kids.

I think my agenda is pretty much the same.

See, for us people here in MI, we are not centrally located to just drive to a nearby state on either side of us. So, when Rooney comes to MI it's a big deal and you better make sure you get there because its never known when they are coming back. Not like people on the east coast who have a plethora of choices. I live in between Detroit and Chicago. Same distance to both. But, I have friends that live in Detroit so that's naturally where i'd rather go if I can only make one show.

With the new album coming and us having to wait until that is out for a new tour... I just don't want to pass up a chance to see them.

I still have to get my damn tickets. haha. I may be flying solo so I think i'll just buy the cheapest seat.

Exactly. I live around the state line of Michigan and Ohio and they usually only come to Detroit so i can't pass it up. I was sad too because when they did come to Michigan and Ohio it was the first leg of the tour, right before summer and i couldn't just skip two days of school to drive five hours away to Cincinnati.

I was really excited when they came to the Crofoot Ballroom in October. They hadn't been to Michigan in three years, aside from that one Fergie show that I couldn't make, and I was ecstatic to see them again. It's amazing that one of their two random shows is in Michigan of all places! New York I can understand, but Michigan? I guess it's just a case of extreme luck!

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 :)

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.

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?

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.
