4 months, 4 days Until....

I saw Avenged Sevenfold open for Metallica in June 2017 and I saw Breaking Benjamin open for Godsmack in 2006, but I've never seen Bullet for my Valentine in concert, though I have a MP3 of one of their live concerts - I'm actually listening to it now and I enjoy it. $55 for a GA ticket is not terrible, though I would be more inclined to get a reserved ticket in the lower bowl of the US Cellular Center. As for the "experiences" and "package" listed below, uh, there's no way I would do that.

I am not sure when, if ever, I will 'move' on trying to attend this show. If I hadn't just seen Avenged Sevenfold in June 2017, I would be more inclined to want to go. If I go, it would be exactly 8 months since the last time I had witnessed them live.
