    That is a lot of tickets just for the Verified Fan sale.

    Might be the last time they play QC too if that's how sales are going to be.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    My main issue with Quebec City is that I'd have to drive whereas Baltimore and NYC are easily accessible by bus and rail. Driving isn't really ideal as I'm hitting this run of shows by myself. But yes...generally speaking. Quebec city is fucking awesome and all the folks who struck out on NYC and Baltimore should at least look into it.

    FYI, "MIX" is French for hot tub.

    Put this show in Montreal or Maine and it becomes one more tough ticket while freeing up some tickets in Baltimore and at MSG.

    Hard to do on short notice if you're me. Flights seem expensive.

    If this show was on a Saturday I'd be interested for sure.

    You should have seen it at 10:00.  All floor seats available (not GA) and almost the entire arena, except for a few blocks in the front 2 wing sections (on each side)...maybe only 10-15 rows reserved for TC.

    8+ hours from NY and it takes  longer to fly than to drive. Train is about 10 hours.

    I looked into Ottawa originally and was stunned the nearest nonstops were from Jersey and none in NY.

    so close and yet so far

    Said it before and I’ll say it again: this show has the X factor. If you can, just go.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    Funny this show sold out in 2016 with ease. I bet it sells out again after the public sale. I have a lot of friends from the Maritimes that have no clue about the Verified Fan sale and are going to try in the public. 
  • URthekeyURthekey Posts: 1,806
    GA odds were at 75% at closing. 
    This would be a great show to go to go to if you want to get up close.

    The only down side to this show is I won’t know any of the new songs.

    Oh, it will sell out for sure. You just might have 20 minutes before it does instead of 4.

    Longer to fly because no direct flights?

    Drive the 8 hrs! What's 16 hrs in a car when there are sweaty French people in the middle to break up the trip?

    I drove up to this show in 2016 from Boston.  Was an awesome show.  But yes, when you get to the border and you are barely 1/2 there, that sucked.  Especially coming back.
