I assume this goes without saying, but is it confirmed that TC and Sixteen Stone will both be played in their entirety? Or are they celebrating the albums by playing deep cuts from them mixed with songs from other albums?

Feel like playing both albums in full would have been mentioned in the announcement if so, would potentially sell even more tickets than just a 25th anniversary tour.

Can anybody find a ticket price range for any of the shows on the tour? I hate how Live Nation and Ticketmaster usually don't provide until the show is actually on sale anymore. Sometimes people like to make decisions ahead of time!

Either way, I haven't seen Live or Bush since 1999 so I'm excited (and feeling old).

Agree on not playing full albums, it probably would have been mentioned, and wouldn't be very attractive to casual fans.

I just saw that the Pittsburgh tickets are $55 for GA , $99 for "premium seating" - not sure what that means.

Thanks... I've never paid for premium seating but have looked into it before - perks vary by venue. I've never been to Stage AE so I'm just spitballing but from a quick search, the venue appears to have an indoor stage and an outdoor stage - I'd assume it would be an outdoor show. Premium seating means you get a special viewing location not accessible to the poor GA folk. Additional perks I've seen include include exclusive bar, bathrooms and/or venue entrance. Using this pic as an example (http://midnightcorey.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/MegadethRobZombie02.jpg), possible that the premium seating might be a platform behind the soundboard so you're not jostling around in a larger crowd, but I've also seen it off to the side elsewhere. Should be more clearly spelled out when tickets actually go on sale but a little bit of research might tell you sooner.

Songkick now has a $59 price listed for Atlantic City (the closest show to me), although in theory there should be a range since there is a GA floor but also seating.

Holmdel (2nd closest) now has a $25-$99 range listed so it's probably a decent comp for other amphitheater shows on the tour - $25 for lawn and $99 for 100 level seating close to stage. Holmdel does include parking fee in the ticket cost though so possible other sheds might be a little cheaper.
