Both Toronto @ once? Whoa mama!!!

This has got to be some kind of fucking joke.... right? 10C?

Both Toronto shows and Montreal at the same time? I thought you said you wanted to help reduce traffic?? You really think that Winnipeg/Saskatoon/Hamiliton will have the same draw as Montreal/Toronto/Toronto??? Are you nuts???? With all the east coasters who won't travel to Alpine shooting for these 3 shows, you really think the demand won't be insane for Toronto/MTL??

I know.... that's the problem. Until that stops happening the band will continue to be poorly mismanaged.... and that won't stop happening... so, I won't hold my breath...

Just getting very frustrated with PJ's tour management, I mean it doesn't take much common sense to realize that the Toronto/Toronto/MTL dates are the ones that really need to be staggered.... the rest don't matter near as much... and to put all the ones with the least demand together... well...

I also don't understand how they have "time restraints" and need to put all the shows on sale so quickly.. I mean there's more than 3 months before these shows... last year didn't the PJ northeast shows get announced in March for shows in May? And they were significantly more spaced out...

I believe you, and this also turns my guts a little bit... because they're trying to sell all these tickets to this massively over priced festival in the middle of no where.... and they're going to hold off on anything else until this sells out.... I would have went to the gorge, but now I'm making all my plans for Canada, and when the gorge happens I'm going to be SOL....

anyway, enough bitching. sorry for my rant.

The 10C knows what they're doing. The servers will be able to handle the load and just like the 10C ticketing for the Alpine Valley shows, I think this was done to balance the fans so that they have more people going for 2 shows in one location so there will be a greater chance for a higher number of folks to get good seats...if you catch my logic.

Just like in Alpine Valley, there's no option to get reserved seating for BOTH nights...they want the greatest number of people to experience the show from a closer seat.

Only one par through 10C.

I would suggest you buy your pair. And then see if you can find some people to switch around with once you get to the venue. There are lots of people that have spares and many of us will scooch over to make room for one more in the row. I dont think you would have any problems securing another ticket long before the concert date. Am I making sense?

Or if you're going for the lawn then problem solved. Get your pair and just have the one other person buy their ticket through Ticketmaster.

What if I don't get tickets on monday? If someone really wants to go but gets shut out of 10club seats, is it possible they get shut out entirely and have to stay home? Or will the unlucky ones have to come off a mortgage payment?

I missed something: is the festival seating seniority based?

thinking so seriously about Alpine Valley...looking for a concert partner!!!!
hope i can get tickets this monday

I am doing some math and something must be wrong.

$1800
-tickets $334
- Shuttle $120
- Expo $100

- buffet (say $100)

$382/night for lodging?

I was coming up with the same math. While it may be a package it isn't really a deal...

I think the X factor is that there really aren't that many places to stay in the area. Most seemed booked months ago. I've only dealt with the 10C package-wise for Philly '09 and we stayed super cheap in a very nice place.

334 is for a pair for the weekend. Aprox $85 per ticket for the weekend! I don't need to sit on Ed's lap! That's a deal. The rest is an adventure!

just read the news about sales time..so if we try seperate,means that will be impossible to score in both Toronto shows.. :(

Will the venue be set up with the GA pit or without?

I just sent them an email asking this. Fingers crossed it'll be with, pretty much a deal-breaker for me. I'll update when I'll get an answer.

Update: Quick, but dissapointing reply. The GA tickets are on the lawn, way in the back.
Count me out.. I think..

This made me a bit nervous. Me and my brother have pretty much decided to try and get tickets and travel from Norway, but not if we have to stand miles away from the stage?
How does that work? Any pictures on google that shows how the view is from there?

I have personally attended shows at Alpine Valley from the lawn before and I would say that the view really isn't band. Because the ampitheater is set on a hillside your view angle is MUCH BETTER then being out in a huge field like at Lollapalloza in Chicago or your average big European or US music festival. Besides that they have some huge jumbotron displays on either side of the stage so you can see what the hell is going on.

I also get the impression from the pj20.com website that the "10C viewing area" is going to amount to them taking the front area of the lawn section and fencing it off and not opening it until PJ goes on stage. meaning that you might actually be able to wonder around all day and check out other bands etc. and not worry about defending your 4 ft. square turf for 8 hours without getting up to take a piss or get something to eat. While I'm sure there will be a large crowd surrounding that entrance for it on the lawn waiting to get in, I doubt it it will mean that anyone with a 10C wristband will be watching PJ from over the top of the berm.

And of course I would say that like any show, it's the experience of being there that counts, not how close you get.

They should spread the canadian show presales over two or even three days the traffic is going to be crazy
