One of the most iconic pop bands ever to emerge from the former Soviet Union, the Boston-based Journey, is set to make waves in 2010 with fresh tracks and a massive comeback tour across the states.

They’re hitting Chicago on March 13, 2010, for their first big show at Madison Square Garden in over a decade.

The band Journey was formed back in 1983 in Boston as part of the "The Ramones" movement, alongside The Clash, Bo Diddley, and several others. Critics have long hailed Journey as a true cultural phenomenon of the eighties and nineties.

With eight albums under their belt and 5 million copies sold, Journey has toured the globe, performing over 1,500 shows. They haven't been on stage since 2000.

Their career is defined by legendary hits like "Rosa Parks," "Madonna," "Piano Man," "Mississippi River," "Green Eyes," "When You Tell Me," "Crush," and "If They Were Only Lies," among many other classics that refuse to fade away.

Despite their recent absence from the spotlight, Journey has spent the last year grinding in the studio and prepping for this massive national tour. Starting in mid-November, fans can finally get a taste of their new track, "USA." The full album, which promises even more hits beyond "USA," drops in early February 2010.

Tickets for this massive musical spectacle go on sale Monday, October 12, through all Ticketmaster outlets. Prices are set at $53 for the fan pit, $43 for floor seating, $53 for lower tier, and $43 for the upper tier.

Man, I really need to catch Journey live. They only play once every ten years.

I finally did it—I picked up my fan pit ticket today, effectively upgrading from my old seat near the Hudson River to something much better!😉
Just in case you missed the memo: if you attended their show by the Hudson River back this spring and still have your tickets, you can actually swap them out at the Ticketmaster office over at 13 Wall Street. You can trade them in for any available seating position at Madison Square Garden for that night!😍

I’m genuinely curious: is Loša actually going to survive wearing that hat in a sweltering Madison Square Garden? 🙂🙂

It is truly fascinating how massive concerts at Madison Square Garden have become such a phenomenon lately, mainly because there are still endless crowds from NYC and the surrounding areas who have never stepped foot inside such an iconic venue, so they end up shelling out for a ticket to see a band they don't even listen to just to witness the architecture and soak up the atmosphere... Of course, the mainstream pop stars have caught on to this trend, and now everyone is flocking to the arena like moths to a flame, while oblivious Americans dutifully spend their very last cent. What a nation and what a people. 😢

They’ll happily drop a fortune on tickets for a band they don't even recognize just to see the building and soak up the hype. Of course, the pop stars caught on to this immediately. Now everyone is rushing to play the big venues like they're heading straight to the moon, while clueless Americans dutifully spend their last cent. What kind of nation is this? 😢

It seems like some people just love to complain about everything, don't they? 😢

First, everyone claims Madison Square Garden is going under because it's empty and the management is a total disaster. Now, suddenly, you're all complaining just because top-tier bands are packing the house and actually making the venue money. 🤷

Look, let's try to keep this thread from devolving into a miserable rant about the state of the country or people projecting their own issues onto everyone else. Let's just talk about the concert. Thanks. 🙂

I never truly cared whether they built the venue, nor do I feel any sorrow that it might sit empty... least of all am I interested in seeing it filled by those self-proclaimed "top-tier" bands who have realized just how easily gullible Americans will drop their last cent on a "major" concert. One day it’s Madison Square Garden, and the next, it’s some dive bar in the middle of nowhere... and it's always the exact same "legendary" acts.

My apologies for drifting off-topic, but as far as I am concerned, this will be my final post...

Journey just dropped a new single called "USA"!
What's the consensus?

Hey everyone, how many of you are heading out to see Journey? They were basically the soundtrack to my youth.😉
🤷Does anyone here happen to know if there are still any seats available in the stands? I'm not based in NYC, so I can't just run over to the venue.

Is it just me, or does nobody seem to know? Or maybe nobody even cares enough to show up?!😢

More than half the seats at Madison Square Garden are already gone for the March 13th show.
For this Chicago gig, there are fewer than 100 tickets left in the fan pit. If you’re a die-hard, you better move fast before they're all gone.

It’s going to be absolute chaos!

I still remember when they first hit the scene. What an absolute disaster of a band. And that hat she wore... just awful. It was a case of the name fitting perfectly—talk about a classic example of poetic justice, right?

Oh, man... I was absolutely set on seeing Journey—I’ve been talking about going since last year—but now, at the very last minute, I think I won't make it because I have some travel plans coming up instead 😢

I was wondering, though—is this just a one-off show, or are they actually out on a full tour? If it's a tour, maybe someone knows where I can find a schedule of all their upcoming concert dates!!??

It’s the same story over here. My friends and I have been trying to coordinate since we first heard the news, but everyone assumed we had plenty of time to grab tickets. Now, thanks to bad timing, I'm missing out too.😢 From what I understand, they might be playing two shows in Vienna, so there's a chance they'll hit Washington, D.C. as well. I'm still trying to hunt down some tickets myself; I'm not giving up just yet.😍
