    Well if it makes you feel any better, I have been reading all your bumps. :lol:
    There are hardly any people from Vancouver on the boards ever ... Most Vancouverites don't seem to like to talk to strangers. :roll: So not too surprising that so few people are checking in for this show. Still a LOT of unsold tix too. Many behind the stage still available on TM, but there is also a GLUT of scalper tickets for sale. I'd say a couple thousand tix that went to scalpers are still unsold.

    Lol.

    When I said that I mainly meant that I see zero excitement (besides the few of us here) over the Vancouver show.

    I could say the same about alot of west coast shows as well.

    I for one am excited as hell for Vancouver. I decided it would be my only show I tried for ga. When I won I was even more stoked. The pit is like 1/4 of the floor if that. It's as wide as the first seated section. That's going to be so sweet!

    See you there. You ga as well PJ soul?

    But I am also super excited!! Yup, I'm in GA too - see you in the pit! :D

    I'm local.... if anyone wants to save $$ on the hotel by staying outside of the city but on the skytrain line so it's really easy to get downtown I can recommend a few places.... but you'd need to keep in mind that the skytrain shuts down ridiculously early, so you'd have to leave downtown no later than maybe 12:15 or something. :roll:

    I can also tall you where NOT to stay downtown, and that is anywhere on the downtown eastside. Any hotel/motel there would be a very very bad idea.

    Cool, affordable Vancouver (downtown) hotel: http://theburrard.com/
    The Sylvia is another good choice.

    Stoked for Vancouver! Always a great, loud crowd - lots of Seattle folks and lots of friendly smokers... I'm taking my godson to his first PJ show and his first GA experience.... Thrilling!!

    Anywhere on or within a few blocks of Hastings between probably Commercial Drive and maybe Cambie Street is a no go.

    Sandman is right across the street from the Arena. Delta van is on Hastings and like hmm Richards I guess? Really not far. Not across the street but maybe like a 15 min walk if you're walking briskly.

    Hastings is a big street and a huge section of it is fine. Anything on the West side (West of Cambie) is fine. Anything on the East side is sketchy. Honestly though, they are really gentrifying the area though. It's slowly getting pushed farther and farther East. The pre-party is on the East side of Cambie and the area isn't bad at all.

    We're staying at the Hampton Inn on Robson st.
    I have a good friend who's from Medicine Hat and went to University in Victoria.
    He said this is still cool area, and we can walk to Stadium. (Just south of W. Hastings).

    Where is the pre-party????

    My only ga out of 6 show this year!!

    Vancouver has a 1/4 pit size, most shows have had 1/2 the floor as the pit.

    I am SUPER EXCITED! Here's a few pics of other shows this tour with a 1/4

    Really? The seating map on Ticketmaster seems to show that GA is closer to half the floor... or at least it's nowhere near as small as that chart you posted shows.Where did you hear GA would be that small?
