    Flew in from Vancouver early this morning. There isn't as much snow as I had expected but the swirling snowy wind is crazy!!! Took a cab from the airport downtown and it cost around $40. Well worth it - i'm from a city where a bit of snow shuts us down so won't risk driving anywhere.

    I have 2 10c reserved seats but my ticket buddies (who have 2 GA) may not make it from Lethbridge. If anyone doesn't have a ticket and wants to buy my second reserved, let me know. I'm waiting to hear if they've pulled the plug on driving.

    For anyone who isn't able to make it, i'm sad for you. Hopefully you get to see the guys soon.

    Stickers, posters, etc. - want it - let me know and I'll do what i can do accommodate requests.

    Be safe!

    Ten Club just informed me that there will be no refunds, etc and that the options for those who have tickets but can't use them are:

    "We can either mail the tickets after the show as a sort of souvenir. Or the member can opt to allow the Ten Club to gift the tickets for free to a fan in need."

    It's truly unfortunate for those who can't make it, but even a PJ show is not worth risking your safety for. There will be other shows. I know it totally sucks, but it seems it may be way too dangerous to attempt.

    Sorry for those who can't make it. I have friends going and I just hope they are safe and sound and already in Calgary. They are supposed to go to Vancouver as well, be safe everyone!

    just texted with my friends, they are there already and will take the train tonight to the show I guess. They are concerned about their flight out to Vancouver tomorrow though.

    sounds really bad there.

    They should be fine for tomorrow plus they still have time if things fall through to get another flight by concert time Wednesday. My concern is the tour guys making their way through the mountains as those roads could be treacherous at best.

    Also it is not the worst I have seen even in this city in Saskatchewan this would be just a brisk wind.

    Lol!!! So true!! I lived in Regina and those were some of the worst storms and worst winters I've ever experienced. Maybe that's why this isn't freaking me out like so e other people. I'm used to it.

    Came in from Winnipeg and going to the show. Hope I can get a poster and shirt.
    If you beat me to it, grab me one, and I'll buy you a beer at the show!

    How do we go about gifting the tickets? Can we assign them to a specific friend? I'd like to know so I can get the ball rolling on this ASAP

    Feeling bad for all out of town with tickets that can't attend. Safety first, it is just a show.
    Too bad 10C tickets can't be transferred, as I would love to grab some.

    10C should really officially release a statement to help these tickets find homes as I expect there is a good amount of them out there right now.

    if we can't use them, better to make the 'Dome be packed and show the band a good ol fashion Calgary time. I'd be willing to gift my tickets to a friend and spread the karma. Its all about Karma kids.

    That's good that the tix can go to other fans at least.... I don't see why anyone would want a souvenir of the show that they couldn't get to because of a blizzard. Who wants a keepsake of a shitty thing that happened??

    If the Saddledome is only half full tonight, they might really try to make up for that with a crazy fun show!

    Unfortunately you can't gift them to anyone of your choice - it's up to the fan club rep handing out the tickets to choose who they want to give them to.

    I was told this is to prevent them from being scalped.

    I chose to give mine up - hopefully they go to a long term member who has never been lucky enough to get great seats and they can enjoy PJ up close :)

    Thanks! I'm just trying to make a bad situation feel better overall.

    I'm so sad I could honestly cry right now. Honestly.

    Thanks bro. Safety first.

    Maybe tonight I'll stay at home and listen to some PJ vinyl and sip on a warm coffee. Try and be there in spirit.
