Heyyy, how was this last night?? Wilco's setlist looks like fun (thanks Brad): http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/wilco/2013/molson-amphitheatre-toronto-on-canada-33c6bc5d.html

Ok thanks Basher. So they will have someone from StubHub on hand, in person, at the show? Do they send a staff to every event they sell tickets for to account for such cases? Sounds expensive. Anyways, I'll need to track down this toll free number.

Yep.

Someone on my FB said this: Richard Thompson: 5:30 PM My Morning Jacket: 6:15 PM Wilco: 7:55 PM Dylan: 9:35 PM

Ok. So if the original seller went to TM and tried to get a refund on the tickets, would she/he be successful? Or does TM know that the original person sold the tickets on StubHub, and therefore in turn the original person is denied refund? It would kind of suck to show up at the gate and find out my ticket don't work. And I'm not sure how I'd get StubHub to buy me another pair on the spot. Thanks!

Did any of youz go to see Bjork? I'm going to see her tomorrow night, just wondering how the show was. And also wondering about this opening band Death Grips.

Will the tickets that I bought on Stubhub still be honoured at the gate? Can the original person who bought the tickets pull a fast one and return the tickets that she/he originally bought? Hopefully that wouldn't work...

And that's what enabled Big Red to be out for a jog in downtown Toronto around the time of the announcement. Nice sleuthing. I'm guessing the next coupla hours were spent trying to figure out the rescheduled date....?

Nope, no joke. It was right around when the official word of the cancelled show went out.

There was an angry mob of joggers trailing behind him.

Bummer indeed! A friend of mine had just got off the bus at Union station and was walking by the corner of Front & John at about 6:20pm, and Big Red himself ran right by him decked out in full jogging gear.

Nice! Thanks for the updates.

I just gave in and upgraded to tickets at the back of Section 201. $30 each. First time using Stubhub and it feels lame. But at least I'll be dry! Anyone want to buy my three PTBM tickets in Sec 404, Row A, Seats 28-30?

It's playing at the Bytowne Cinema in Ottawa on August 18-19.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Fri July 12 @ This Ain't Hollywood Seems to be sold out. Anyone got any extras??

Phish.com says this too: Show Time: 7:00 pm Doors Open: 6:00 pm http://phish.com/#/tours/dates/tue-2013-07-09-molson-canadian-amphitheatre Crap.

The Wheat Sheaf was going to be my suggestion as well, mainly because they've got some of the finest dingers in town.

TURF made it right! I complained via email and Twitter and by Friday at Noon I had heard back from the organizers with an offer to either upgrade my 2 passes to VIP for the rest of the weekend, or give me free tickets to the Sat or Sun late night shows. I took the VIPs. Thanks TURF for taking care of me. A friend who is pretty in the know was telling me that the organizers have a 4-year plan for this festival. This gives me hope as the festival was under attended on Thurs, Fri and Sat. Maybe they anticipated it to some degree in year one. This also helps to make better sense of the organizers going out of their way to build allies as they did for me (above). That wouldn't happen with a fly by night operation. Good times on the weekend! My favs: The Hold Steady: I'm sold! About time I saw them. JOel Plaskett: Won the crowd over, loved it. Justin Townes Earle: I'm a new fan. Paul Niehaus on pedal steel too. The Sadies: Awesome as usual. Kurt Vile sat in and sang at least 7 syllables. Neko Case: I was at the very front, she was good and with the torrential downpour certainly memorable Great to see a lot of old friends and familiar faces!

So, when we bought early-bird festival passes we were led to believe that these passes would allow us entry to all of the late-night club series shows. Then when they presented the late night club series, TURF announced that festival pass holders have "priority access" to purchasing tickets to late night club series shows ahead of the pack. And therefore our passes did not include access to the late night shows after all. I actually emailed TURF for clarification / to complain but got no response. Though annoyed, some of us (like me) might have gone and bought tickets to late night shows at this point. Now it is festival time. It was announced from the stage yesterday that anyone who had a ticket for Thursday TURF could also get into the Thursday late night shows for free. As for tonight, TURF just tweeted: "VIP or 4-day wristbands get you into Lee's Palace and Horseshoe for free tonight! Subject to capacity,so be sure to get there early." And this is kind of bullshit. There, I feel better already.

I had a knapsack and it got searched. They looked in the big pocket only and not in the small one. Tall boys of Creemore are sold on site. Indeed they are $9 each! There is also one of those fresh squeezed lemonade stands in case you want to bring along the appropriate fixins for that.

Rather than bogarting thomson's FB wall. Day one was pretty good! I thought Joel Plaskett Emergency stole the show last night. That guy knows how to win a crowd over every time. Hasn't failed for me yet. Wasn't it odd that TSN's Dave Hodge announced the band? It was good to see The Barr Brothers again, there was one new song in the middle of the set that I thought was pretty great. She and Him didn't do much for me though. I am not really up on who Zooey Dechanel actually is, but there seemed to be some kind of additional focus on her that wasn't necessary. I would love to see just Him! M Ward that is. Looking forward to the rest of the weekend. Great to see some of youz yesterday!

Check out these coins!

Did I miss the announcement for the winner? Fri June 28th, no?
