    Maybe it's not two shows in Vancouver.  Maybe it's one in Victoria and one in Vancouver.  One can hope right? :)
    It’s 2 shows in Vancouver.
    Haha I know, they wouldn't play victoria, just like the probably wouldn't do a cross Canada tour like they did in 2005, but this thread is about hope, not reality.  Reality is less fun :)
    The Vancouver shows will be fantastic.

    Always are, I'm stoked :)  Two in Vancouver, it's going to be magical :)
    These days it will be easier to get tickets than to get a hotel under $300 ! 

    Definitely.  If the rumoured dates are true, that's 3 nights at hotels :(  One of the reasons, if I can go to two in Vancouver, I might skip Seattle this time, as doing that twice will add up, and getting tickets and dealing with Vancouver shows is usually more sane than Seattle shows ;)

    Which hotels are somewhat close to the venue?  That might be reasonably priced?  Thanks

    ^They were all higher than normal, even five weeks ago. Sandman on Georgia is a cheap, close three star. Do not select a two star hotel in Vancouver! Otherwise look at hotels off the skytrain like 2 near metrotown Burnaby, or civic autograph, Surrey

    I wonder if a boxing day sale is a better day to buy?

    Prices are absurd. I’m at the Holiday Inn North Vancouver: first couple of nights @ $295 and last couple of nights @ $245 per.

    Hotels are absurd this whole tour. Hotels and flights are making us reconsider how many shows we are doing.

    If people want to rent those before most of them are going to be illegal... I'm not sure if they will be legal by May? Forget when new BC laws starts...

    That is contributing to homelessness and the housing crisis we have so they're coming to an end.

    I guess our issue is we usually just try to stay downtown.. but usually it's just for one night :)

    We quite like the Rosedale on Robson.  Old and dated, but you get 2 beds and a pullout couch which is good for groups.  Plus the pull out couch is in it's own small room with a kitchenette. I used to be cheap, no so much any more :(

    2009 - Toronto
    2010 - Buffalo
    2011 - Toronto 1&2

    Penticton - for the wonderful people of the south okanagan valley. Great place to see a legendary show.

    With the shorter legs, it’s pretty much impossible they ever tour like 2005 again in Canada and even a 2011-type itinerary seems unlikely. 
    With Vancouver seemingly getting shows in 2024, and no Canadian shows in 2023, there are enough cities that would be “due” to pull off an 8-12 show leg.
    A leg consisting of Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto x2, Montreal and Quebec City (or two in Montreal) and maybe Ottawa and Halifax and one more random city in there over the course of three weeks with the nights off between shows could work.

    Unfortunately in Canada we have geography working against us with how far it is from coast to coast and nothing in the middle other than Winnipeg.  Some long stretches between big cities whereas in the US you have big cities every 2-3 hours. 
    I was at the Saskatoon show in 2011 and don’t think it sold particularly well.  Not sure they’d go back there.

    It was a Monday, and they pulled in about 7000. Which is about what could be expected for Saskatchewan. Five sections of the upper bowl at the back were curtained off. Great turnout for a small city👍👍
