VV Tickets

I loved the HIM portion of the concert. Two out of the three opening acts were inaudible so you could not understand the words, the instruments over powered the singer, I think that one opening act would have been just fine, maybe two, however three was a bit to much. I loved the fact that Ville stated that he gave up smoking and drinking. I was amazed at how fantastic the band sounded and how much Ville looked like he was enjoying himself performing for his fans, who have waited over 2 years for a return to the U.S.

Drive A sucked and the lead singer was nasty, Dommin was awesome as hell, We Are The Fallen was awesome as hell and amazing, and HIM was just OMG!!!!! I died from the awesomeness!!!!!!

the concert was absolutely amazing. i love him and went soley to see them. but i must admit the other bands were amazing as well

Venue: Much better than I expected since I'd never been. Beer was a little expensive, but bartenders were fast, attendant and accurate. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Plenty of room. Crowd was friendly and having tons of fun. Opening bands: Rocked! HIM: Played a shorter set than I would have liked, but picked great songs (lots of classics and a couple of the best new ones). the band sounded awesome and rocked my face off, per usual. Will definitely be attending every HIM show I can get to!

The show was great. Drive A wasn't that good; the sound was abnormally loud when they came on, which made everything sound clashed together which was not enjoyable to listen to. Dommin was second, and they were great. Me and my girlfriend bought their CD and met them, they are a great band and we hope they get bigger and continue to come out with new albums. We Are The Fallen was also great. But HIM took the show like usual. Bam Margera also made an appearance before the encore. HIM was stellar onstage, and I hope they come back to the US with a new album soon, I will be there when they do. Rock on HIM!!!!

Show were really fun, Electric Factory was very small though....opening bands played for too long but HIM is great....I've seen them many times in concert before but for the first time Ville Valo was sober and not smoking....he was not that much of a crowd pleaser this time around but overall a good time

Of course I enjoyed the show! HIM never fails to thrill and enthrall, but it was not the same energy level of past events. I look forward to seeing them again in the near future.

HIM's presence on the stage was absolutely amazing. They have such talent that impressed the whole audience. My friends and I had a great time, I hope that the come to the Northern VA/MD/DC area again soon! ^.^

This was the first time I had seen HIM and I think it might be the last. My friend had seen them 8 times and said this was the worst show he had ever been to. Not just the worst HIM show, the worst show period. The opening bands had vocals that were completely drowned out by their instruments, and when HIM took the stage, Ville's voice wasn't there. He sounded awful, he couldn't hit the notes. My friend said that the only song they did good on was Wicked Game, by that time I'd gone out to smoke, completely disappointed. They may have had an off night, but I'd be hesitant to pay the money again to see them.

being h.i.m. is my favorite band, i cant wait to see them every chance i get. the last time i saw them at sonar, in 07, they played a two hour set. last night, they played just over an hour. kinda disappointed.

HIM was absolutely amazing! Dommin and We Are the Fallen were great, too. Sonar had some technical difficulties throughout the night, but Ville's awesomeness overshadowed that. I dafinately plan to see HIM again, but not at Sonar.

it was seriously the best night of my life!!!!!!<3

HIM and Dommin really put on a great show! I saw HIM 3 years ago and Dommin last October so I figured it would be a pretty good show and tuns out I was right! I would totally recomend going to see them in one of the upcoming shows and you wont regret it! The only downside is Ville doesn't come meet his fans=/ Which is understandable considering it would probably start a riot. Oh well i'll have to go to a signing one day. The other two opening bands could have been better but i have heard way worse! Beware if you go Drive A will jump in the crowd and crowd surf as well start a mosh pit but its not too bad. If you want to see more pictures from the show just ask =]

This was a great show with great bands. HIM is by far one of the most talented and entertaining bands to watch. My brother went with me and we both had a really kick@ss time!

As a 15-year-old with no legit source of income, I don't really get to go to a lot of shows (this was only the second I'd ever been to, and almost two years since my first). But this show was freaking amazing. First off, the view I'd managed to get, standing at barely 5 foot 1, was incredible compared to where I was my first concert, and I was able to catch a glimpse of the amazing opening acts. The first band, Drive A, cured my thirst for honest punk rock. It was nice to see the front man do a stage dive onto someone's shoulders and stay there, then proceed to crowd surf for the rest of the song and into the next. They were honestly talented and definitely pumped up the crowd. The next band, Dommin, which I assumed would be heavy metal, gave a nice blend of MCR and The Muse, getting us into the general metal-y mood. I was amused by the keyboard guy, who'd managed to completely jam out on his cute little keyboard. Unfortunately, the sound went a little static-y around the end of their set, but that's at the fault of the sound guy, not the band itself. Finally, We Are The Fallen was really good, but would've been a little better if the balance between the guitars and vox were better. The singer (whom I heard was Carly Smithson off American Idol, but who knows) was forced to yell, rather than sing, over the guitars to be heard, and her performance suffered, but only slightly. We spent the next half hour waiting for HIM's arrival to the stage to be signaled, seeing as the main act always takes longest. But when the lights finally went out, I started shaking with anticipation. As the band walked onstage after a painful 3 hours, it was amazing in itself, but when Ville (my beautiful Finnish sex god) sauntered onstage, I let loose. I assumed their set would be mostly songs from their new album Screamworks (seeing as that was what they were promoting), but was delighted when they played mostly older songs, from Dark Light and such, that I actually knew. Naturally, when they played Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly, I broke down and called my mom so she could hear, but I managed to get some really awesome footage. The hilarity kicked in when Valo simply walked offstage to "take a leak", and it was nice to learn he actually had an accent (an extremely sexy European man rolling his R's was a nice addition to the set), and we managed to get an encore out of them when they finished. Overall, it was an amazing kickoff to their U.S. tour, and I highly recommend it to whomever enjoys good music. Not that Cyrus/Jonas/Bieber garbage Disney's been feeding us :)

Him was amazing! So was dommin but hands down HIM rocked!!!

I felt last night was more like a rock music festival, instead of "HIM's concert"! It was a long show, 4 hours! The bands are great! and for sure, HIM is GREAT too! Each of the guest bands did around 4~5 songs, the show started with Drive A, then Dommin, and then We are the fallen. HIM was the last to come out, they played songs from their new album and also their old greastest hits. I sang along with all of the songs, the show was just awesome! After Ville finished 'When love and death embrace' to end the show, the band went inside, of sure, people were still waiting for encore, (even though nobody really called 'encore'. . .), then HIM finally came out again after about 10 mins, and really ended the show with two more songs! The last one was 'The funeral of hearts', that was just so touching! Man. But there was a part I felt so regret about! I was standing in the front middle of the crowd, I have to say this, that was just Exhausting! Awful! Just after Dommin came out, I was already extremely in pain, tired of standing and was totally unable to move and so many people kept saying excuse me to move front! And there was so many people taller than me kept blocking my view to watch the show all way through! (first time really hated about my height!) But the saddest part was totally because I Couldn't Even See Ville 's FACE Clearly! Ah! That was my Greatest regret forever, so I suggest anyone who is a big fan of any band, if the show is held in standing room, you must arrive as soon as possible before the opening time, and get the front front front! line, so that you can see your great band clearly and at least have something lean on, and never never try to stand in the middle, go to the side if you can't get to the front. . . !

This was my first him consert n wow. I loved 3 out of 4 of the bands. They were full of energy and excitement. I cannot wait to see who else is comming. I think next year I'm gonna go for the VIP passes tho. The venue was a little packed n ppl were Tryong to push ahead to het a better view of him. But I expected that. Over all awsome show. Thanks Philly for having me and me 4 guests.

Saw HIM in NY a couple years ago, the atmosphere was great & performance amazing. We cant wait to see them agian here in St. Louis on the 7th, you have fans here who are very excited to see your return to the states guys. Oh and I still have my concert ticket from the last show, thats how much I love your music, rock on!

This show was amazing! My daughter was ill and had been so for a long time. I had just recovered from a stab to my right leg and almost died. She Bridgett saved my life and we both, her and I went to see HIM. It was also on her birthday sweet 16th and we got to meet Mige!!! Best time we have ever spent together.... I love this band with the whole of my being. And my daughter I love with the whole of my existence! This was a real birthday treat for her, and I as well. Sometimes are just meant to be. This was a time I believe that was meant to be for us! -=Osia=-
