  5. I've fought several tickets and I believe I've only had one that they completely dismissed.
  6. I saw The Hip with Chris Brown playing keys for them. It was the low point in their touring history.
  7. That looks stunning. It's gonna look great from the last row! Looking forward to the Allmans!
  8. Hi Folks, Greetings to all. We have some very exciting news to deliver. Our twelfth album, We Are The Same, will be released in North America on Tuesday, April 7th. The album was produced by Bob Rock and recorded primarily at the Bathouse Studio. It contains twelve new tracks that range from levity and light to melancholy and anger. We think it has a little bit for everyone and showcases the great range of the band. The full track listing is: Morning Moon Honey, Please The Last Recluse Coffee Girl Now The Struggle Has A Name The Depression Suite The Exact Feeling Queen of the Furrows Speed River Frozen In My Tracks Love Is A First Country Day The opening track, “Morning Moonâ€, is now available to be streamed from our website, Facebook and MySpace page, as well as our iLike page. Novelists Joseph and Amanda Boyden wrote the new album bio. Please have a read, we think it captures the essence of We Are The Same better then we could ever imagine articulating it ourselves. Stay tuned over the coming weeks, as we will continue to announce more great news, including album pre-order details, tour info and some more We Are The Same nuggets.For those of you who have not spent time at the redesigned thehip.com, we hope you enjoy. There is tons of new goodies, including full streaming of the entire discography, live shows, live pictures and our new online store, the Gift Shop. The Gift Shop features new items such as lyric and classic album t-shirts and the first three volumes of the Live From The Vault concert archive series. The Hip
  9. People that fight their tickets are having them reduced. I assume many people are not taking time out to go to the courthouse and srgue their ticket.
  10. "The City of Ottawa fuÇked up HUGE!" Agreed.
  11. I think you're closer to the situation than most of us, hence you probably have a different perspective than the general public.

    Neil Young joins New Orleans Jazz festival, but Aretha cancels Last Updated: Thursday, February 12, 2009 | 9:21 AM ET Comments0Recommend1The Associated Press Neil Young will join a slew of other first-time performers at the 2009 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, a bittersweet announcement given that the Queen of Soul cancelled her coveted appearance. Jazz Fest producer Quint Davis said Aretha Franklin's activities surrounding President Barack Obama's inauguration, scheduling and travel issues led to the cancellation. "She decided not to do any more work for a while and we honour that," Davis said. "But, we definitely told her we want her next year. She's made it clear that New Orleans and the festival are important and that she would like to be a part of this and raising the spirit of New Orleans." But landing Young was something organizers had been trying to do for years, Davis said after Wednesday's announcement. The rocker joins other first-timers Bon Jovi and Grammy winners Sugarland and Kings of Leon. Davis said it's important for the festival, in its 40th year, to remain relevant and exciting. "Particularly, because we are a heritage festival, we look at where we've been and where we're going. And that's reflected in our lineup," he said. "The Dave Matthews Band, James Taylor, Earth, Wind and Fire, Etta James. These performers, over time, have become beloved by the festival. At the same time, the younger groups, Bon Jovi, Sugarland, Kings of Leon, they send a signal that our future is bright." The Jazz Fest spans seven days over two weekends: April 24 to 26 and April 30 to May 3. Others slated to perform are The O'Jays, Cowboy Mouth, Wynton Marsalis, Joe Cocker, Wilco, Henry Butler, Erykah Badu, Bonnie Raitt, Allen Toussaint, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Trombone Shorty and Imagination Movers. Like last year, the Neville Brothers will be the festival's closing act on May 3. http://www.cbc.ca/arts/music/story/2009/02/12/no-jazzfest-young.html
  13. "Citizen's, Taxpayers, and riders all get burned because of the strike." Agreed. "...in the end, the strike made city council look like a bunch of morons." Not agreed. "This is fucking hilarious!" Not agreed.
  14. She suggested I fill out the form on their page, and where it says "what concert did you buy tickets for" I should write how many tickets I've bought since February 2007.
  15. I just spoke with Luciana Brasil and she told me that the convenience fee and venue surcharges and even the "print the tickets yourself" fee in their opinion is selling a ticket over face value.

  17. I'm still confused. Of course it wouldn't be worth it for one person to sue, that's why class action exists. If the court decides that convenience charges are illegal to arbitrarily add on to a ticket and I can just sit here and do nothing and get back all the convenience charges I've paid to ticketbastard in the last two years, in what concievable way is that not worth it?

    My favourite of those was the how saxophones are made one.
  19. Although' date=' the more I think about it I almost wonder what is involved with being a claimant - it may not be much investment of time.[/quote'] It seems to me from the link in the original post (quoted in part above, and above) that anyone who bought a ticket from either Ticketmaster or Ticketsnow since February, 2007 is automatically a "claimant".
  20. I don't understand what you're trying to say. "A class action allows a group of people to have access to the court in situations where the case would be too expensive or too complex for one person to sue on his or her own."
  21. I like this part: "The lawsuit takes issue not only with Ticketmaster reselling its tickets at higher rates on TicketsNow, but also challenges the corporation on its practice of charging "convenience fees" on tickets. "The law [in Ontario] says you cannot sell tickets for a price that exceeds the price at which the ticket was first issued," said Brasil. "And in our view, because you have to pay those fees and charges to get the ticket, in reality, you're paying more for the ticket than the face value." Imagine getting all those service charges back...
  22. I'm not sure who won but it sure looks like the city lost: Alain Mercier, the head of OC Transpo, says that because of lost fares and the cost of winning back riders, the company is in the hole by $13.4 million. That's a bill the city will have to pay.
