This is single best news I have heard since Arnold won the goveronship.
lol at that comment. Seeing that clip made me realize how much I’ve missed Glee! Is April here yet?
I luv this show!
What is “govronship”
Only 4 cities? I know they’re busy and all, but this sucks for those of us nowhere near these places. And who cares about Phoenix?
i do HATER! ;p lol
Who cares about Phoenix? The four million who live in that metro area.
You’re a moron.
I agree… why aren’t they coming to Sacramento…
yeah, come to sacramento, or at least the bay area so we can still drive to see them! LA is too far.
SACRAMENTO! SACRAMENTO!
I think people from the northern states would have made the trip to Norcal.
I support a sacramento date…
Because Sacramento is a second or third tier town …
I agree! Totally in for Sacramento!
They’re only doing concerts in four states, including yours, and you’re complaining? We Glee fans have a lot to be happy about (Glee was renewed! It’s doing well!), but all you can say is you don’t want to drive for a few hours?
I’ve toured in Sacramento. They don’t wanna go to Sacramento. San Francisco or San Jose. Sacramento – no.
Wow. Practically every comment on this post is “why aren’t they coming to my city?” Let’s be reasonable. They only have a couple months off before filming season two. In that time, they have to create and rehearse a stage show. Then, they have a super-short tour just to test out the market — will it work, will folks pay $80 to see people who sing for them for free every week on their TVs, will the audiences be disappointed that’s it doesn’t look like it does on TV…that sort of thing! This isn’t a band who has a year to tour…these are actors on hiatus. Be sensible, people!!!!!
Brilliant comment DW… not! I wish a grape slushie on you!
Who gives a sh!t, who gives a f@ck!
Who cares about Phoenix? How about…people in Phoenix! About 2 million of ‘em?
anyway, this is great news if the tickets are affordable. Love me some Glee!
screw all you americans.
they need to come to Canada seeing as Finn is Canadian and all
YES! At least ONE date in Canada, we’re not THAT far away…
can u all shut up about phoenix? i live here! its very special to me
What about the UK,we want to see them too
Yea I really want to see them all – why cant they come to the UK at some point – even for a signing?
Awww man!!! I wish they would come to Atlanta!!
I’d go to ATL but really – why not Nashville *ahem* music city?
Because ATL is a sh*thole.
Phoenix always get ignored with other stuff. A lot of good concerts skip right over us. So, I’m so glad that they’re coming here. The rest of you guys can feel what it’s like now.
No worse than those of us stuck in even smaller states. As much as I understand why it happens, I think an artist who targeted us for once could gain some loyal fans…
WHAT ABOUT DC!?! THE NATION’S CAPITOL GETS OVERLOOKED?
Andrea, if you got kids, they are coming to the Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
yeah, Phoenix on the map!!! I CARE!
Phoenix is the 5th biggest city in America!
i want to go but they aren’t coming near me (the south)…**sniff**
I agree. I live two hours from Houston, and would love to see this. Too bad.
I live in Houston and would LOVE LOVE to see them.
I’m in Fort Worth, and I would have made the trip to any Texas (or Oklahoma, or Louisiana) city to see the Glee kids. Next year, maybe?
As long as Rachel and Quinn are dressed hotly, I will be there!
I shall be present and shall have bone whenever Quinn is present.
Oh no! I just got a mental image of Rachel and Quinn french kissing and now I have to change my underpants!
ledag123 on February 2, 2011 @Stepanfo1 WTF??? who cares about the birds when the pltiuolon of power plants are burning the planet… come on! open your eyes. this things are saving the entire enviorement not just the birds.
Time for a road trip…
Only four cities?! That’s bunk!!
I know righttt!!!
If I were an actor working crazy hours on a tv show and probably had others things lined up for hiatus time, the last thing I’d want to do is a nation wide concert tour. Four cities and seven dates are already a lot to ask for. Be thankful for that.
I agree with Billy!!! Even if they wanted to do a full national tour, they don’t have the time!
GRRRRRRRRR!!!! Please extend the tour Glee folk, please add more dates and come to Texas! I will love you forever!
Amen to you, sister! Even if’s only one or two cities, come to Texas!
I AGREE! that makes me so angry!
I thought they were coming to Dallas from the original announcement in January.
. It was very etnnrtaieing – he used his own music or the music that was playing on the loud speaker to sell his product.
I feel like a lot of tours don’t stop in Texas, which is strange because we’ve got three rather large cities (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio).
Plus a major music industry capital in Austin! Come to Texas, glee!
no ATLANTA? come on…………
I second that! No Atlanta is very disappointing…
Come to Rochester, NY!!!! We Love it
Agreed! We are six hours from NYC:(
totally agreed plz come to Rochester NY!!!
At least it’s in your state. Some of us would have to drive a day to get to a concert. Why no Denver?
I’m glad they are “touring” but would be so much happier if it were a more extensive tour. I understand they might be exhausted if they did though.
Washington DC or Atlanta would help since I’m in Raleigh NC
how much are tickets going to be?
On ticketmaster the range is 37.50-72.00
where did you find the link on ticketmaster, i tried searching but i couldn’t find it
They should come to Calgary Alberta Canada also considering thats where Cory Monteith is from!!!!!!! =)
I totally agree with you!! Come to Canada!!
Blah, no Canada.
Are you for real!? That’s pretty ignorant of you… Cory Monteith is from Canada!! Ignorant American.
She was complaining there were no Canadian dates, implying she’s Canadian just like you. So be careful when you call someone ignorant; sometimes it ends up being you.
Your right and I am sorry. I took it as the other way… My apologies to Angela.
How can then not come to a single southern city? No Atlanta, Nashville, or Charlotte? Come on!
Seriously – no music city?
Oh, of course, only go to those cities. Don’t go anywhere else. Deprive everyone else in the nation who doesn’t live near there.
I get that they can’t travel around the world because of filming, but come on.
