    Got tix to Portland, ME; 5th row. I was right in there on time for tix and still got 5th row, but it doesn't realy matter as the theatre is smaller than my room!

    I have a feeling these shows/this tour is going to be incredible. Solo, acoustic, evening with BH, spanning his entire career, no opener, just all BH!

    Pretty pumped! Shipping tix to Canada was bloody expensive though; luckily had 'em shipped to friends house in ME.

    I know, eh? It's gonna be something special for sure. I probably only got front row because I went with a solo ticket. Pretty shocked nonetheless. Congrats on scoring yours!

    I'll see you there! I scored 4th row!! Probably woulda done better had someone not come to my desk just before 10 and distract me. Pulled up my ticket at 10:01am. Still happy with my seat though! :)

    Awesome, PJ fans represent! My coworkers know not to distract me when I'm buying tickets. The price I have to pay is to help then get good seats to shows they want to see though.

    I hope everyone that wants tickets gets them! Ben Harper is too amazing a show for any of you folk to miss out. Best of luck to all going for the presales and public on sales.

    I've only ever seen one show at Massey Hall and had a very bad experience. Ever since then I've been hesistant to go back. I'm pretty sure most of my negative memories revolve around my Gallery-level seats with a mild obstruction. I can safely say I'll have a much better experience this time around.
