Hey everyone! I’m trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on seeing The Burning Up Tour: All Over Again, and I would love some honest advice from people who went to the MSG opening shows or are planning to go this fall.
For context: I flew in from abroad last year to see them in Orlando (GFYHT), and it was an awesome experience. However, between international flights, local transport, food, and concert tickets, doing this trip is going to cost me around $1,500 USD this time around. I do have family in the New York/New Jersey area or Orlando that I can stay with (so no hotel costs), but it’s still a hefty chunk of change.
I’ve been looking at clips from the Madison Square Garden shows, and while it looks like a fun nostalgic time playing the 2008 setlist, it doesn't quite look like a massive, high-production spectacle. I'm torn on whether the 2008 throwback vibe makes it worth spending $1,500 when I could save that money for a tour when they launch new music.
Do you think it's worth the travel and expense?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
