    Are there going to be any recreational dispensaries open by March? Or are there now? Having trouble finding anything

    I’ll be there!  First time ever in GA and it’s on my birthday! Does anyone have advice on when to get in line, line etiquette (they’ll be 2 of us - will people get pissed if one of us leaves and comes back while the other stays, etc).  I’d love to be on the rail up front no matter how early I have to get there. I’m super short. 
    Weren’t people already lined up early afternoon the day before the last Toronto shows?
    I wouldn't count on that in mid-March in Toronto

    That's awesome that you got GA!! I remember in 2016 we got there around 12:30pm and we had about 40 people in front of us. I think we waited about 6 or 7 hours before they let us in. I did grab lunch for us and nobody seemed to mind. As soon as the doors opened and we got our wrist bands people rushed the front of the stage pretty quick. We got rail right in front of Mike. Excellent experience overall!! There were a couple of dickheads in the crowd but nothing crazy. If I'm going to a show(GA) with my girlfriend it has to be front row otherwise she wont see shit. Its all about respect though, I respect the people around me and they should so the same. I have no idea what this tour is going to be like. If your only 6 mins away take a stroll early in the morning and check the line out. Have fun man :D

    Our Wishlist preparty will be at Steam Whistle Brewing.

    With large multi-paned windows, 30-foot ceilings, douglas fir pillars and exposed red brick, Steam Whistle Brewing is a micro-brewery located in the historic John Street Roundhouse in the heart of downtown Toronto, south of the CN Tower and Rogers Center.

    Grateful for their support and partnership who are donating a fantastic space for us to gather ahead of the Pearl Jam show, only minutes away from Scotiabank Arena.

    First time in Toronto, any “must dos”?  

    If you're a sports fan, the Hockey Hall of Fame. Unless they've changed the layout, the walk up the stairs into the trophy room is simply magical, and seeing the Stanley Cup in person is just amazing.

    Marriott right next to the Roundhouse. Pretty excited at how close it is to the arena.

    If you can, avoid the legal dispensaries.  The product is typically shit (VERY dry, making for a harsh smoke and expensive).  You might get something that was packaged late 2019/early 2020 by the time the concert rolls around.

    Rather, use weedmaps.com and find a local delivery service.  More often than not the product and pricing are both better.

    If anyone is flying in from the East Coast(or flying in from anywhere for that matter) and you don’t absolutely need a car. You can take the UP Experss(train) right from Pearson Airport to Union Station. Would save on parking and the rental. 

    As for parking I’ll defer to anyone who knows better.

    I can attest to this!! We were in Toronto last April and took the UP Express to Union Station. It's about a 25-30 minute ride and there are trains every 15 mins. You can buy tix in advance or just get them at the airport / train station. Will definitely be doin the same this time.

    Union Station is just a short walk to the venue, and many of the hotels surrounding it. And if the weather is inclement, many walkways are covered / underground.

    Last April, we stayed at the Marriott Downtown. Great experience as they upgraded us to a stadium view room - was so cool, saw a full game, batting practice & part of a day game from the comfort of our room (bought craft beer at the Beer Store) before we had to leave to go to a show.

    This is what we are doing. Hotel near the venue and renting a car the next day after the show to do the rest of the Canada shows.

    I got a space in a garage a block from the venue for $20CAD on Parking Panda. I think they are apart of Spot Hero now, but they're all the same. Check them out, they have mobile apps.
