AD Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) The Citizen and other outlets have reported that the mayor will make a "historic" concert announcement Monday evening with Live Nation, for the first week of July. The Stones played here 8 years ago - I don't think that's historic. Macca has a show in Boston July 9, Ottawa would fit nicely. Anyone heard anything more definite?I'm guessing the show will be at the arena, but I have a crazy idea that Live Nation will pay Bluesfest to have the site ready a few days early and put the show there. That'd be great. Wonder if that is remotely likely. Probably not. Edited April 20, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 According to the article in the paper last week, the announcement will be made at 6pm today.With this show, and the jazz and blues festivals, along with all the great shows (Stones, DMB, MMJ/Wilco/Dylan, ABB/Winwood, Black Sabbath) within easy driving distance, this summer's concert itinerary will truly be awesome. And expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 By "love" you mean "hate", right?no. there is a difference. if I hated them, they wouldn't be humourous fails to me. I tried "hate" and it sounded angry. It doesn't make me angry. I roll my eyes and have a laugh. I dislike (not quite hate) it when "love" is used for things people actually hate. I thought about it long and hard before I submitted it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagochips Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I registered with the fan site but it still wouldn't let me buy on the advance sale. Couldn't get through today either so no Paul for me I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 My Mom and stepdad got tickets, which rather surprised me given that they aren't exactly the kinds of people who know how to work presales, etc. Apparently they got them through some kind of SBP presale. Two tickets for $130, total. I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 You win some and you lose some in the ticket game. I failed miserable trying to score the cheap seats for the Stones concert in Montreal. I was able to get a pair of McCartney tix through his website pre-sale.

TimmyB Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hello Old Friends, I haven't been on here in a while and I wanted to check in.I'm heading up to Ottawa tomorrow to see Paul McCartney on Sunday and I felt I should see who from the National Capital Region on this good old message board will also be attending the gig?It'll be sweet seeing McCartney perform for the first time in Ottawa and on Ringo Starr's birthday!As Ringo always says, Peace and Love!
