Canadian Shows "Ticket buddy pool"

in The Porch
Hey all,
A few friends and I who are attending shows and only need a single ticket each are sharing our lottery choices and buddying up to try to help everyone get a ticket for the shows they want. Trying for GA mainly. Figure it's better to try now than after the draw when the scramble starts.
If you're interested in being part of it, shoot me a PM.
Cheers, and good luck!

I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired... Hey I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.......

    You try to make trades with your +1s with others who have extras of what you need....I did in 2014..it's a bit tricky sometimes. Not for people just looking to buy...

    I just didnt know if there was a "system" or some sort of order of preference for the pool.

    For those in Toronto, I may have an extra GA ticket for Bruce Springsteen at the ACC on February 2nd if anyone is interested in a trade, depending on what happens on Monday. It's a $200 ticket so I wouldn't feel bad if someone bought me a couple of beers to even it out :)

    Benjs, I'll be your GA Buddy anytime, that is if I get tix. Of course it's on the top of my ticket priorities, so I'm hoping!

    It's the ONLY on my ticket priority, so I'm hoping too - would love to see a show with you! I haven't won the lottery yet but who knows. At the end of the day, I'm thankful to have concert attendance near the top of my worry list. That puts me squarely in the 'luckiest of folks alive' category!

    It would be helpful to have people who are going to all 3 Canadian shows as ticket buddies....I am solo but will need help assuming I won't get all 3 in draw...
    power in numbers....hopefully we can work on trades between us all....

    First time travelling for a show and have not needed to find an extra ticket before so not sure how this works. I am travelling to the show in Quebec City with two friends so will be looking for another ticket. I am just entering the lottery for Quebec City GA so won't have anything to trade. Is this pool just for trades?
    Ticket Found!

    I guess we sort it all out after Monday.This will be like a place to see if anyone has an extra or to ditch what you don't need.Like for me.My boyfriend and I are going to quebec city and Ottawa together and are doing seats.Then I'm off to Toronto on my own and would like to do ga. So I may have an extra..or need one..or have seats to get rid of..roll of the dice!~ See what happens on Monday.
