OH YEAH!!!

[Freak By Night]

I'm totally going.

There's to be a special ticketing system whereby you can enter draws for a chance to participate in the RogerWaters.com presales.

:surprise:

[TheSloth]

Hmmmmm, a definite maybe.

[Freeker]

Dark Side was great to see live but "The Wall" has always been the pinnacle of Floyd for me. I'm so glad he's bringing it to Ottawa, might have to hit up Montreal too.

[Velvet]

Spoiler: Same setlist every night.

Kidding. Just you try and stop me from going to this show.

[TheSloth]

Jesus, I'm going blind in my old age, I didn't even see the Ottawa show, I'm upgrading to I'm going.

[Freeker]

You'd still have to leave Orleans to get to Kanata.

[TheSloth]

You'd still have to leave Orleans to get to Kanata.

Are we playing Jeopardy? Is the question "Why did I only attend two Sens games this year?"

I'm not going to let the horror show of using public transport to travel between the two furthest possible points that constitute our city stop me but I'm already dreading the super spun out return trip. I'll have to break up the ride with some post show boozing downtown.

[AD]

Dude, rent a boat. Booze cruise to Kanata! If you drink enough the dams and rapids won't be a big deal.

[TheSloth]

[Esau.]

Only one keg? Rookie.

Roger: Why am i doing this?

"I recently came across this quote of mine from 22 years ago:

“What it comes down to for me is this: Will the technologies of communication in our culture, serve to enlighten us and help us to understand one another better, or will they deceive us and keep us apart?â€

I believe this is still a supremely relevant question

Signup at the rogerwaters.com site and you get the 'opportunity' at grabbing premium seats. Details that got emailed to me:

Thank you for becoming a member of RogerWaters.com. This email confirms the creation of your account.

RogerWaters.com membership grants you eligibility to participate in the presales for Roger Waters The Wall Live tickets. In order to ensure that everyone has equal access to premium seating, we are holding draws for a chance to participate in our presales. Your membership entitles you to enter a draw for a chance to buy one (1) pair of tickets for up to five (5) shows selected by you from the list of included cities.

Here’s how the program will work:

1. You can enter the draws for up to five cities for your chance to participate in the presales on the Roger Waters The Wall Live tour. If you haven’t chosen your cities, please do that now. You will be able to update the cities you’ve chosen by logging into your RogerWaters.com account at any time.

2. You will receive an email from us just prior to each of your draws letting you know when presale links will be emailed out and the exact day and time of the ticket presale. To help ensure that there is no delay in receiving these messages, add tickets@RogerWaters.com to your address book and/or safe senders list now.

3. Prior to each ticket presale, a limited number of RogerWaters.com members will be randomly drawn from the list of those who expressed interest in buying tickets for that city. Each draw will include all members who have chosen that city up to the time of the draw, and is conducted entirely randomly by computer. The selected members will then receive email notifications to buy tickets that include a link to the presale as well as a reminder of the exact presale start time. These links are personalized to the selected member, are non-transferable and non-reusable. Each link is eligible for exactly one PAIR of tickets only.

4. If you are selected for a presale, you are not guaranteed to receive tickets, only the opportunity to participate in a limited presale. Orders will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis as of the designated presale start time.

5. All tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable after purchase.

6. If you are not selected, you will be notified via email.

7. Your eligibility for each of the cities you have chosen is distinct and will not affect your selection and/or any successful purchase you may make for other cities.

In order to ensure that each step of this program is communicated properly, we will be sending you several emails throughout the process. We apologize in advance for the high volume of email you will receive from us.

If you have any other questions about the process, please read over the FAQs. If you do not find the answer to your question in the FAQs, please contact us at tickets@RogerWaters.com.

Thanks,

The RogerWaters.com Team

I'm in for Toronto and Ottawa tickets... if I get both the Ottawa tickees are up for grabs for face

[Velvet]

I'll call first dibs on those Ottawa tickets if I can, though I'll be going for presales as well so I can't guarantee I'll take them.

[Kanada Kev]

Shit, i tossed in for Toronto, Buffalo, Ottawa, Detroit and Montreal ... who knows how this will all work, but i just want to be in the damn building for the tour opener.

So ya, thought ya, might like to go to the show ...

[Esau.]

Toronto, Ottawa & Montreal I went in for presales.

Saw on another board someone posted ticket bastard prices for Nassau are US $55.00 - US $250.00. Haven't checked for a Canadian date, but it's in the range I expected.

[YearsAlongTheSea]

Definitely not missing him this time around...

[PassedOutGuy]

Saw his last show at the Dome and it was killer...

My wife has told me we ARE going to this show...

Guess its a night at Grandma and Grandpa's Garreth.

How'd people do for presale opportunities? I got emails just after midnight letting me know about the status of getting access to presale tix.

Toronto x 2 = NO

Buffalo = NO

Ottawa = NO

Detroit = NO

Montreal = YES

Wow, one out of six. And that still doesn't guarantee a ticket. Should be interesting to see how this rolls out.
