    If they're going to play St. John then it would be amazing to see a show on the complete opposite side of the country in Victoria.

    I still think we're too small market for it to happen, but I would crap my pants if they played here.  I think our Arena only holds about 7000 people if you sell the entire floor and side/behind stage tickets.

    With a band that plays small tours.. I'm not sure what the odds are of them play a venue that small.

    I still haven't gotten over the fact Foo Fighters were booked to play here before Taylor Hawkins passed away.   I never expected them to play our small Arena, I was so stoked we were getting a show here, and we had floor tickets.   Then the double whammy of him passing away, and the show getting cancelled :(

    you never know. The Hip could sell out $15,000 seaters and they played there. 
    That's true, but the hip had limited options. They weren't that big outside Canada, so playing a 7000 seat Arena in Victoria was better than playing a theatre in Seattle or a bar in Illinois :) If they stuck to 15000+ seaters they would of only every played Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Kingston, Montreal, and Quebec City?  They sort of had to go smaller to have some other places to play.  PJ doesn't really need to do that, they can play venues that size in North America, Europe, Australia, South America, even bigger venues in many of those places.

    In regards to PJ, and the slim chance they play here one day, I used to think we'd make a good warm up show city.  Sort of like the London 2013 show. We're 130km/80miles from Seattle, it's nice here, our Arena is small but decent, and we love a good live show :)  It's too bad they don't really do warmup shows anymore :(


    FAN CLUB SHOW IN VICTORIA!!!

    Was it 05 they played st.john?
    Yup! The only reason I went to only two shows is the fact that I was a broke student at the time lol. I would have gone to those St. John's shows in a second if it would have been a possibility :)

    It was St. John’s Newfoundland in 05.
    St. John is in New Brunswick.

    Thunder Bay and not Kelowna and Penticton is just wrong. I’d put Sudbury ahead of Thunder Bay… 

    can’t eliminate the Paris of the prairies either

    Thunder Bay is the only one I've even remotely heard of, but Hugh makes a good case for Saskatoon.

    Thanks, why do people keep forgetting about Victoria?  We're bigger than St. John's, St. John, Halifax, Moncton, Thunder Bay, Saskatoon and Regina.  I always felt like 2005 might of been our best bet at getting show as we're bigger than the capital cities of the Atlantic provinces :)

    Also, to be unbiased I would add Halifax onto the list.  St John's on the edge of Canada.  It's a long way to go without doing another show in Atlantic Canada.

    I think feasibly I'd do:

    St. John's,
    Halifax
    Quebec City
    Montreal
    Ottawa
    Torontox2
    Winnipeg
    Saskatoon (it's bigger than Regina)
    Edmonton (Has a nicer arena than Calgary)
    Vancouver
    Victoria.

    Didn't put St. John, Thunder Bay or Penticton on my list because they have less than 100k people :)  If New Brunswick needs representation, maybe Moncton, but Moncton isn't that big  :)

    Kelowna is bigger than 100,000 and deserves a show. Tool is playing there soon, but I skipped it because of the ticket prices
