questcequecest? Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Sari and I saw the show last night in Buffalo. It was a sparse crowd, felt like about 300 people. They played lots of tunes, plenty of new ones (incl. Pulaski), and Patterson noted they played a few rare ones too. He said this as a lead-in to 'Daddy Needs A Drink'. In all, they played close to two hours. We had a great time in the front row. The crowd was polite but a little tame, aside from one douchebag who got scolded by Patterson. Anyhow, looking forward to the next ones in TO and Wloo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I think Bachman Turner have cancelled the Ayton gig. I'm not sure what that may mean, but I'm hoping it means DBT can play longer. I haven't seen any reason why only that refunds were being offered for those that were going just to see them. Patterson is going to be bummed cuz I think they only took this one to play with BT.That festival isn't being promoted very well. I'm guessing ticket sales might have to do with BT cancelling.

Northern Wish Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Slow ticket sales due to lack of promotion? Surely there were a few hundred out of that large Bluesfest crowd two years ago that would have gone if they'd have known.

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 it was also a (relatively) expensive ticket. too bad they didn't get booked into a bar, which would have (likely) meant lower costs to put on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) As for the cost, I know at least 10 people that were hedging their bets on door tickets to save the exorbitant fees of nearly 20% of the ticket price.And finally to add insult to injury from the fine fucks at Ticketmaster:We’ll automatically return the ticket price plus fees (except courier) to your credit card within 7 – 10 business days.

dave-O Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 As for the cost, I know at least 10 people that were hedging their bets on door tickets to save the exorbitant fees of nearly 20% of the ticket price.Basically this. I was planning to make a game time decision on Saturday but was really on the fence because of the venue and the ticket price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I looked around and found the promotion company: The Concert Factory from Fergus ON.They have an email from me regarding the lack of promotion for the show, and it was cc'ed to DbT's management and agency. If they respond at all I will be sure to post it here.To add further insult to injury the automated TM phone system rang my line at 9:00am waking me out of very nice sleep.

phorbesie Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 We called the venue and asked how we could get tix at the box office. They said Ticketmaster only, no other option. That's when I decided to wait til the door.I guess if we aren't buying tix then it's on us, but having no other option than TM was not cool.
