Good to know. So they are just revealing dates slowly? That's just teasing.

Think of it as a late Xmas present. You have to buy for yourself now.

Sod the weather, Jake! Just go! It'll be fun. Massey Hall is a great venue - just think of all the people who've played there over the years.

(admittedly mid-January can get a little frosty in TO).

Hey Tiggy, I am all for going no matter what the, but I don't have a drivers licence and my mother controls what happens to the car and if the weather is horrible if we should go. I have told her that I am willing to pay for tickets and that I would go no matter how crappy the weather was but she is doubtful because she hates driving in crappy weather. I have also been to Massey hall before and it is excellent.

You beat me to it! Massey Hall is a great venue. Tix are a bit pricy though. I got to see it in Ptbo, it's a lot of fun. I'll pass this time around though.

I was going to talk my wife into taking a winter vacation to Toronto, to get away from the sub-zero Iowa winters. She isn't biting. I did notice that all the floor tickets were already sold. And too bad plane tickets would cost roughly a grand for two of them.

Just got 4 tickets to the show in Toronto, at Massey Hall. 1st Row Balcony, I can't fuckin wait

Jake, is there any way you can call the venue and use your card?

K-ROC · « **Reply #16 on:** Aug 31, 2008, 02:09 PM »

Oooo I gotta get tix to this Toronto show...if there's any balcony seats left it will still be a great show. I was in the balcony for a screening of a movie during the film festival last year and had a great view.

K-ROC · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 03, 2008, 06:28 PM »

Just something I thought I should mention for those of you who haven't gotten your tix yet.

I looked online today and the "best available" was the gallery seats, i.e. the second balcony. I couldn't believe it, considering the show is over 4 months away! I mentioned it to my mom, and she said the same thing happened when she bought tickets to Gordon Lightfoot at Massey a few months in advance. She said a few days before she checked tickets again just for shits and saw that floor seats came up. Apparently Massey is known to block tickets for God knows what reason until closer to the event.

I'm apprehensive to buy my tickets now, but I also don't want to miss out

Tiggy Puddin · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 03, 2008, 07:17 PM »

K-ROC, same thing has happened to me when booking tickets at other venues (although not at Massey Hall). I think it's a sneaky way for venues to look more booked up than they are, so people panic and buy tickets early.

On the other hand, it may just be very popular! No way of knowing unless you have insider knowledge, I'm afraid.

melba the disco queen · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 03, 2008, 09:25 PM »

K-ROC, that's interesting information for sure. I want to go, but I've been waiting on a couple friends to see if they will be able to go with me; if they sell out they might add another show, I think that happened with Kids In The Hall earlier this year. I'm gonna wait a little bit to see if either the floor seats get freed up or another show is added.

walterx2 · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 04, 2008, 12:49 AM »

Buy balcony now. If floor seats come up buy them and sell your balcony seats. You're Covered either way.

Venues hold seats back for radio prizes, corporate perks etc. They are usually good seats. sometimes they don't use them all.

We had an insider for years in the ticket office who would give us first dibs on any returns.
Look 3 days or so before the show.

cableguy · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 16, 2008, 07:11 AM »

So if I buy the balcony seats, will there be a good view of the show, or will I be 10 miles back watching it through binoculars?

Toronto is a bit of a drive for us, especially in the month of January.

Fishyneil · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 16, 2008, 07:26 AM »

Massey Hall is a relatively small venue so I don't think you can really get "bad" seats, just seats that are preferred. Here is the seating chart...

It's not Wembley Stadium

cableguy · « **Reply #23 on:** Sep 16, 2008, 07:35 AM »

Thanks. I saw the seating chart. we are an 8 hour drive from the GTA in good weather. I don't really want to drive there in shit weather for shit seats.

I forgot about this site until recently or I would have bought tickets right when they released.

I am on disability right now so I have lots of time to surf the net and remembered all of you dicks were over here so I figured I would stop back in and saw this topic. Too cool.

Ok, gotta get back in my wheelchair before someone sees me walking around.

rtafts · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 19, 2008, 01:54 AM »

Here is a picture of Massey Hall, the stage is just out of the picture on the right. There are no bad seats, really.
