Discuss... From a cultural arts perspective.

Yes, I'm sure many here will say it's teh ghey.  So what.  My wife likes going to things like Cirque De Soleil, so I snatched up some great seats to a show that's coming to town in a few months.

I like their music, not their politics.

Just remember - great seats usually require a poncho.

I had a great time seeing them about 12 years ago..I'd definitely go again.

I enjoy the music and performances. I've seen them twice, will see them again.

One of the shows I went to was on New Years Eve in Las Vegas, it was a friggen BLAST!

Interesting, fascinating I suppose and like clowns give me the fucking creeps.

I have nightmares about being sodomized by a guy in blue latex paint who doesn't talk, so the thought of paying $150 for good Vegas seats to that freakshow is not one I'm entertaining real soon.

I'd rather watch chinese acrobats do amazing shit to the throbbing pulse of awful french music, thanks.

How many rows back is safe??

I'd say 5 rows back will save you from most high velocity spatter.

WHEW!!!! We're in row #7 no kidding. (center stage)

I think the first 100 rows require ponchos.

Nothing worse than a bunch of banana, really.

BMG is a fantastic show, are you going to see the show or one of their concerts? (they're both high energy and really well performed)

I've seen them in Vegas and in Orlando.  Took my kids to the Orlando show.

They're awesome.  One of the best shows I've ever seen.  Entertaining, engaging, and interactive.  Do their politics suck?  I have no idea.  Their shows are amazing.

Saw the HBO special and thought it would be cool to take the in-laws to. They are from a very small town and enjoy seeing the world and all it has to offer now that the kids are grown and out of the house.

Since we live in Kansas City I try to take them to cool places around town to see the interesting stuff, and considered getting tickets for them when they came to town.

Then I saw the prices.

Maybe after I graduate.

Saw them in Vegas about 5 years ago, absolutely fantastic show.

Apparently only some of their politics suck. Being a group of individuals, they vary.

Word of advice. Don't be late.

Heh, you may not be safe no matter where you sit.  The guy behind me (20 something rows back) was selected out of the crowd for a little... well I don't want to spoil the fun.

Definately, take your wife and have a good time.  I caught a show about 10 years ago in bean town and it was a hoot!

ETA: The only other show I've seen that beat the BMG was the O in Vegas.  That was truly un-fuggin-believable!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I ever pay for a team membership, this will be my sigline.

I took my kids to see them. Very good show.

ETA: I saw them at the Luxor, in Las Vegas, in 5th row seats. Worth every penny.

Interesting cultural commentary, especially the bit about continuous partial attention (actually more than just a bit about the subject).  I saw it a few years ago in LV and thought it was interesting; going to a show while studying for a Communication degree puts a whole new light on things.

We had first row seats in Orlando in August and I ended up COVERED in banana pudding.  Everyone around me was fine.  I just got lucky,  

ETA: Some of the show's themes.

Take foam earplugs.  They get loud enough to cause a little tinnitus.

When the family went to see BMG a couple years ago, we had second row seats.  The tichets mentioned something about being the "poncho section" or something.  When we got there, the seats in the the first 4-5 rows had clear ponchos in the seats waiting for us.
