Tickets are already on stub hub for $800-2500!!

I tried for just about every venue, except the west coast ones which are not on sale yet. I wasn't able to grab one single ticket. If anyone has 2 extras for any of the shows, please let me know as this Hip fan needs to see them this tour...

Thanks in advance..

John
:nooooo

People do NOT BUY tickets from anyone other than the venue. They are either counterfeit or unusable. See the following disclaimer on Ticketmaster:

Quote:Day of show box office pick up only, The credit card you used to pay
for the tickets and photo I.D. are required to pick up your tickets.
Name on credit card and Photo Id must match. Tickets are will-call
only and non-transferable. Tickets will be rendered invalid if resold.

More venues are doing this now and they ARE enforcing it. They had this requirement for Dave Chappelle in Toronto and they made me show my credit card.

Board admins please consider pinning this post.

Do we have to pick platinum to try for the best tickets?

Any thoughts on the last song the boys will play in Kingston? Courage, Long time running, NOIS, Last of the unplucked gems
any thoughts on what they will close with?...Stay strong boys and thanks for EVERYTHING!!

Don't think I've seen this posted here yet. Only a small snippet, but looks like more to come.

About two months ago I got the most random text from my financial consultant and fellow hip fan. It said "hey, I'm at a bar with my buddy from Kingston, and the rumor going around there is that Gord has terminal cancer." Clearly the kind of thing that you would almost always brush off, but for some reason I didn't. Somehow I knew it was true.

So every day I googled. I checked Twitter. I came on the base. Hell, I even checked Wikipedia. And strangely, every day I didn't find anything, I was more sure it was true. Then came the song release with no tour dates. Then a big Waterkeeper event with plenty of "sorry Gord couldn't make it" type of comments. Then came the honorary degree thing. Every time an email came from the band about new merch or a wine, I was afraid to open it.

Then came Tuesday and you all know the rest. It didn't make the news easier to read. But I sat here thinking, "this poor man, a public figure trying to be private, and here I am googling his name every day on a rumor."

I don't know why I felt compelled to share that whole story. I think it's partly because the people on this forum are the biggest fans I know, and many of you likely had similar stories. Or for those of you with personal connections, you probably knew for months, and I respect the hell out of your ability to respect this man's privacy.

But, now that it's out there, I'm wondering, was I alone? Who else knew (or like me, "knew" even though they didn't.) I'm curious because I wonder what was worse... Knowing or being blind sided.

Anyone have a story to share?

Probably better to have this all in one place.

I am trying for:
1 Toronto ticket, August 12
1 Hamilton ticket, August 16
1 Ottawa ticket, August 18
1 Kingston ticket, August 20

Another pair for Kingston may be required but I'm concerned about the singles first (obviously Kingston a priority )

Please post what you're trying for and what you receive here!

So this coming Monday when tickets go on sale, my wife and I will be trying for the Kingston show. If we are unable to get tickets we are thinking of how to get them, I came up with a great idea. We live in the Kitchener Waterloo area so If someone out this way manages to get 2 extra and wants to sell them, we will be willing to pay for them PLUS drive you to Kingston on Saturday morning AND we have a hotel room secured with 2 Queen beds, you will be welcome to the 2nd bed free of charge and a drive home Sunday. Only stipulation is that you not be serial killers. And no funny business. Other than that. We cant come up with any other plan as I cant pay the outrageous prices that scalpers will be asking, we have been to 30 shows and are members of Hipbase and a ton of Hip fans we have met and hang out with at concerts can vouch for us. If anybody is interested in this then PM me on Monday night if you managed to get 2 extra. We should meet up for a coffee to make sure your not serial killers ahead of time. Think about it, a free ride to and from Kingston and a free bed to sleep in. Message me on here.
