Sounds like fun. Shouldn't be any trouble getting a ticket with that number of seats available. Ann Arbor is a pretty nice town for being so close to you-know-where...

Definitely looking to go to it if the prices are reasonable. Might attend with my indoor footy team and make a tailgate out of it.

And Robus, Olympiacos and Liverpool will be playing in Chicago in late July as part of the same event.
