Northern Wish Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 We pulled two pairs for Toronto. The first were $875 each, the second were $1300 each for the outside aisle in the front row. I didn't pull one single pair for Hamilton. Cmon Budweiser Gardens non Ticketmaster system!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 That's some damn good pulling but those prices don't sound like face value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I saw online there was a Live Nation presale yesterday ... so probably wasn't much of anything left today anyway... I was after the Kingston shows, as that's the only dates I'll be back in Canada and I got shut out within the first 1 minute ... although I tried for another 30mins. Of course that might be a very popular show since it's the last and a hometown one at that. Stubhub has lots of tickets for this one: $600 - $2,400 apiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Terribly. It seems we all went into a queue before 11am and no one I'm chatting with (14 devices total) even pulled one lousy pair. I've got a new projector and sound system that I'm going to use to show some classic Hip performances on the shop wall (30 ft x 60 ft). If you're interested, it is likely going to be Friday August 5th if you are nearby. I am definitely getting a keg! Edit: Or if the CBC broadcasts the final show the event will be on August 20.

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 not that I'm going to one of the ACC shows, but people are saying that they are using paperless tickets? i know that's the deal for the Platinum seats. just wondering if anybody else has heard that?

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Tickets for Tragically Hip gone in a flash Quote Emily Plunkett found an old-school way to secure tickets that didn’t involve constantly hitting refresh on her screen — camp outside the box office. Plunkett arrived at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa at 4:30 a.m. Friday morning and found herself the 12th person in line. “We were just doing what we could to get our seats,” she said. Untethered from their computer screens, the dedicated fans shared jokes, listened to music and watched the sun come up in-real-life. Just after 10 a.m., there were about 50 people in line waiting to snag tickets. “I feel validated for having done that, because I wanted to see if you could still do it the old-fashioned way,” she said. I didn't know that people still did that. I also wonder if they all got tickets, and what kind of tickets they got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Emily used to work for me on my Ottawa Folk Festival crew. She is a died in the wool music fan, I am super happy for her! I just got a note from my cousin who scored me some really close but side stage tickets for Ottawa (Sec 108 Row J). Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/tragically-hip-last-concert-cbc-1.3639948 Quote The Kingston show will begin at 8:30 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast and streamed — commercial free — on CBC Television, CBC Radio One, CBC Radio 2, cbcmusic.ca and CBC's YouTube channels.

And also London, where I'll be for work at the appropriate time. Funny the geographic disparity of secondary market tickets. As low as $20 USD each on StubHub for the western shows, but then at least five times that once they get to Ontario. Interesting, too, that London is the second priciest show behind only Kingston. Maybe size of the venue? TLDR; looking for Ottawa and London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Well you do get one "free" entry. I guess it's like my mom always says (usually when I'm hungover) If you want to dance you have to pay the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
