Kanada Kev Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Got the announcement in my email and began to GRIN!! This is gonna be sick. I may even try to get to both shows.

Velvet Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm having a hard time finding ticket info. When I check Ticketbastard I find no events for Lanois, and it lists different shows already happening at Great Hall, Saul Williams on March 23rd and Van Hunt on the 24th.Any info would be helpful, especially ticket prices, and if the tix won't be for sale on ticketbastard tomorrow, then where and/or when?

Esau. Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Not sure Todd, I hadn't even checked until I read your post and your right, ticket info is no existent. Even on Dan's own site I couldn't find info. My OP was a cut and paste from the email I received over the weekend, and I just assumed it would be up.

DevO Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks for the heads up - hoping to snag a few tickets.The last time he was at the Great Hall with Blade was other-worldly. Having Garth Hudson open the night with a medley on a grand piano set up in the middle of the audience didn't hurt either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 So, how/where will you guys be getting tickets tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 So tickets are supposed to go onsale in 8 minutes, but I can't seem to find anything on TM. A new Lanois site is launched.. Working kind of slow at this end but it looks sweet:http://daniellanois.com/Someone posted on the Lanois FB page about 7 hours ago saying 'theres nothing on TM' and the Lanois people reassured him that tix go on sale today at 10am. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Yup, GA. The Great Hall is a wonderful room. Small and sounds wonderful. Small balcony to wander around too. http://www.thegreathall.ca/ Just noticed that the Barr Brothers and Deep Dark Woods are coming soon.

DevO Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I believe the show is in a venue called The Black Box Theatre, part of the Great Hall but below the room that we are all used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
