It's my annual Fall Break! I take off three days every year of Thanksgiving week and therefore get a 9 day vacation! Basically have nothing planned or booked except checking into Sportman's Lodge on Friday 23rd. Roger Water's is playing Saturday night. Anyone ever scalp tickets for a concert at the Estadio Nacional? Would also love to fish offshore while in the country so am looking for anyone interested in splitting a charter.

Been a couple years since I've visited, I am psyched!

You should check your dates. Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of Nov, not the last Thursday. Most years its the same, this year it matters. Thanksgiving is the 22nd. For your 9 day plan to work you should be checking in a week earlier.

I will be at SL week of Thanksgiving, arriving Monday. Never been offshore fishing, might be up for new experience.

Roger Waters is playing Estadio Nacional on Nov 24. I'll be in SJ, I looked for tickets -Sold Out. Ticket Re-sellers such as seat geek had tickets for $600 - $800 each! I'm sure there are better ways to find a ticket than the US based re-sellers, but I don't have the expertise to find them.

I sell tickets in the states for a living. 1st off the RW show is unbelievable!! One of the best Waters shows I've seen and I've seen them all!! I know in the states there were always releases at face value through ticketmaster the closer you got to the event dates. Here's the link for tickets if you try to catch a release: http://www.eticket.cr It's all in Spanish so be prepared. For this particular show you DO NOT want to be on the floor near the stage. He has a million props and being close you will not enjoy the overall experience. Here are a couple videos from the show in Tampa that I personally shot with an HD video camera. ENJOY!! Do no hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

i've seen a lot of floyd live going back to the wall, 13th row in LA
this sounds really great even if i don't think anyone can replace the Gilmore sound
but his obsession w politics and the POTUS in particular makes it tedious for me
i get it you hate him, can we just escape in that music please?

If you are thinking a concert in Costa Rica will be up to the same Standards as a concert in the US, you will be sadly disappointed. The seating sucks, lighting sucks, the acoustics suck, it honestly felt like no one knew what the hell they were doing, also the venue is open air, so if it rains you get soaked. I worked stage crew for a major production for a couple of years after high school and knowing how things should be done and wrapped if rain might be possible, I was amazed nobody was electrocuted. I will never go to another concert at Estadio Nacional. Just getting to the venue, even in an Uber is ridiculous, we abondoned the ride and walked because traffic was so bad. If it looks like it is going to rain there are all kinds of vendors that do sell plastic panchos before you enter, but if it rains it sucks, as you sweat under the pancho and it gets quite
uncomfortable. Also the Stage setup was not even half of what the US production was that I had seen less than 4 months prior. Honestly the concerts that go on at the Hard Rock cafe in Cariari are much better and you have the availability of food and drink in a much more intimate setting. If you really want to see the concert and the ticket prices are that much you might want to look into renting the Penthouse at Crowne Plaza and take some binoculars, you will have a great view and be able to hear the whole thing. Easily able to accomodate 50+ people and you have a dance floor, jaccuzzi, rooftop decks, kitchen, 4 bedrooms, etc. You will need to be careful getting drunk and not falling down the spiral staircase though.

I agree. I try to keep my political beliefs to myself but he was blasting Trump almost the whole show. After about the 2nd or 3rd time I saw quite a few people walk out. During the another brick in the wall he had several K*ds up on stage dressed up in school uniforms and they tore them off to reveal Resist T-shirts and then at the end of the show a ton of confetti dropped with Resist printed on it. I am a Trump supporter, I actually put $500 to win on him a month before the election :D . I still wanted to go to the show even though I knew what to expect but these monkeys need to know how to just STFU and dance for me!!



I hope all moneys just stfu and just danced for you!

POS!!! To the highest degree!

I agree, just stop making everything political, either liberal or conservative. Just entertain without all of the BS!
