Toronto show?

#1 Post by t.nehpets »

Hi all,

I'm eagerly anticipating the Toronto show. However, the tickets haven't gone on sale yet?

Will there be any opportunity for fans to buy tickets before they go on sale?

Toronto show

#2 Post by Winters »

Ok, so the Toronto tickets went on pre-sale this morning (Tuesday, 15 August). Amazingly, the pre-sale is only for the Hummingbird Theatre's 'Circle of Friends' members, which is an annual theatre membership ($75 I think). Am I the only one who thinks that this is ridiculous? :?

So, in a couple of days when the normal pre-sale happens we can all wonder where row AA went in Toronto. <sigh> Why can't they (A) tell us in advance about there being advanced access to tickets to theatre groups, and (B) have PSB fan pre-sales instead? Other artists and groups tend to make huge efforts to ensure that only fans have a chance to get the best seats and that they don't end up in hands of ticket resellers or eBayers trying to make a profit.

Sorry.. had to vent.

Having said all that.. I myself am not trying to get tickets to Toronto. I just thought I'd check it out, but was a bit shocked to see the pre-sale wanting a 'Circle of Friends' account number or password. :( I'm planning to fly down from Edmonton to the Seattle gig. (Of course.. whenever THAT goes on sale)

Take care!

Thought I'd post here to see if any one else got their ticket.

Got mine over the phone. Not sure on all the details, but it looks like I'm in the first row of the Balcony somewhere. Has any one been to the Hummingbird Centre to know if this is any good?

I didn't want too far, and certainly not in the lower level. When the Boys where in town for the Release tour at Massey Hall, I was somewhere four rows back on the balcony dead centre and those were great seats. So I am hoping for that again at the Hummingbird Centre.

I hope everything goes alright with the ticket order. I've always bought them in person before. So I'm hoping they'll get to me somehow and soon.

IT would have been nice if they gave PSB fans advanced ticket sales. I guess the seats I bought were okay, I would have loved to be closer though.

I was on the right hand side for Massey Hall, the balcony, 2nd row, those were excellent!

I talked to someone here at work that has been to the Hummingbird Centre and she said all the seats are good, so I'm hoping mine are good too.
