The Who in San Diego at the iPayOne Center

By: Jamie    Category: San Diego Sports Arena Tickets, Concerts

The Who will be in San Diego soon. My parents are way into Classic rock and so I grew up listening to the album Tommy and other The Who albums; and of course, we listened to “My Generation”. It’s pretty heavy music but this band was very influential in its time. The Who have even been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pertty awesome if you ask me.

If you want tickets to see The Who at San Diego’s IpayOne Center you’ve come to the right place.

AIW Tickets has seats starting at $95 bucks. Not too bad for a band who is considered one of the greatest of all time.

TicketsNow has tickets starting at $200 and StubHub has tickets starting at $175.

Here are some other places to look as well if you can’t find what you’re looking for:

And for all you The Who fans here is some info about them from Wiki:

The Who are an English rock band who first came to prominence in the 1960s and grew in stature to be considered one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time. Except for periods of retirement from 1983 to 1988 and from 1990 to 1995, the band members have continued to perform as a live act. Their most recent studio album, Endless Wire, was released in 2006.

Noted for the dynamism of their performances and for their thoughtful and art-influenced music, the members of The Who are also acknowledged as rock pioneers, popularising, along with contemporaries The Kinks, the power chord and the rock opera (most notably Tommy). Their earlier “mod” albums, which boasted short, aggressive pop songs, Pete Townshend’s distinctive power chords, Keith Moon’s explosive drumming, John Entwistle’s nimble bass style, Roger Daltrey’s powerful vocals, and constant themes of youthful rebellion and romantic confusion, were formative influences on hard rock and power pop, while their loud and violent concerts helped pave the way for punk rock and heavy metal. In their early days they were notorious for auto-destructive art displays, destroying their instruments at the end of shows (an activity favoured both by infamous wildman Moon and by Townshend, whose guitar-smashing would become a rock cliché).

The Who are on a world tour as of June 2006 which will last into 2007.

The Who are #8 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock and #9 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
