and they just dropped all the front rows of the upper level.  That was dirty, sell the worse tickets first.

Yeah, that sucks.

So the Monday show is selling well?

I am kinda bummed there will be no fans behind the stage. :( Plus it's another reason the tickets are more expensive.

It's dissapointing to see there's no backstage tix being sold. Section 120 and Section 103 have some really good seats and after being backstage in Denver 2014 I'd waaaay rather be there than on the Floor behind the Pit. or the nosebleeds.

 Plus it's a blast to be looking into the Pit.
Oh and of course it only props up the value of the rest of the tickets.

I was lucky enough to be in that pit.  It was huge.  Half the floor.  Behind that on the floor was not great.

I love side stage, but I've only been behind stage once.  I think we just had bad luck.  Our seats were almost parallel with the lighting rig and metal bird on the 2013 tour.  The blocked out most of the stage.  Couldn't see very much :(

but yah back of floor isn't some of the worst tickets in a venue.   You either need to be in GA or the first few rows in GA, otherwise it's hard to see anything.

I wonder why they haven't sold in the round?  Must have something that blocks the view from the back on this tour?

Metal bird? I remember calling it the trash pile. Wasn't it just a mess of crap that looked vaguely like a bird's nest? I hated that thing!!

I am assuming they have a backdrop screen for this tour. :(

Sadly my ticket buddy is not going to be able to attend either of the shows with me (I'm travelling  from Cincinnati). Currently I have middle of the road Floor tickets. If any of you wonderful people with great Floor seats or GA need a ticket friend who is VERY generous with buying cocktails, please let me know.  See you all soon:).

I've planned yearly craft brewery walking tours for my family for the past 6 years. If you have any questions or want any ideas for good breweries to visit, hit me up. I'd be happy to help.

Those GA sound awful. As a random act of kindness, I will offer you my night 2 Row 18 seats for your night 2 GA seats.

Post away with the brewery recommendations! We are staying at Blue Horizon in the Coal Harbour area (I think that's what it is called) and no GA, so bathroom use is okay.

I logged into Ticketmaster just now to see if I could get better seats than what I got through Ten Club, yeah right!  We are in Section 109 Row 11.  Those same tickets are almost $900 each on TM right.  YIKES!!!!

Half marathon starts at 730 am, roads will be shut down before 5am - and the half is the run that goes near that area of town.
It's not too bad though, will just be a bit slower getting around - mid day will likely be the worst time.
But might be tricky out the Douglas if you're driving!

You can get out of the city to the North Shore mountains through Stanley Park causeway, or by heading east and over the Iron Workers bridge - likely the best option for anyone on the east side of downtown.

Brassneck on Main Street and Parallel 49 in East Van have been my personal favorites over the years.  I've lived here for 15 years now, so watched a lot the breweries grow up!

Port Moody does have a few decent breweries, but its a bit of a journey to get out there.

Vancouver is a bucket list location for my wife and I, we’re really excited to be there.  Is there things outside of the city that are must see like hikes or something, or should we just focus our attention on in city things?

Sea to Sky gondola near Squamish is nice - wouldn't recommend going the day of a show though, as accidents can shut the highway down for 4-6 hours at times.  Doesn't happen often, but often enough that I wouldn't risk it!

Grouse mountain is nice, as you get a view of the whole lower mainland.
Hikes are usually not good that time of year in the mountains as there is usually still a lot of snow pack, but this year we don't have much yet - so might be ok.  I can definitely give recommendations closer depending on conditions, as my wife and I have done a lot of them multiple times.

In general, if you are on the other side of the bridges the day of either show, give yourself plenty of time to get back - the bridges can be a real bottleneck.

Ha! If you're not drinkin' in the Balmoral and the IvanHoe, then you're not drinkin' in Vancouver. Craft breweries - hahaha!  This is a rock n roll forum, eh! Play your cards right, Vancouver PD might even put you up for the night, for free!!!

Beaches, mountains, fine dining at Michelin star restaurants & international cuisine from just about anywhere you can imagine. Pretty much anything you feel like doing Vancouver has to offer. 

Almost like an affordable Seattle ☺️

Bahahaha! Don't we wish! I know Seattle is way too expensive, bu Vancouver ranks as the most expensive city in Canada, and the 3rd most unaffordable city in North America, based on all relevant metrics. Seattle isn't even top 10 apparently.

Seattle looks cheap compared to this place
Our friend is leaving here moving down to Seattle with her husband, who is from there - we are considering following as its a financial no brainer!

Brassneck on Main Street would be my go to in the Mount Pleasant area. Also, 33 Acres. The great thing about 33 Acres is they have one side of their building serving their standard beer, while right next door (33 Brewing Experiment) they have their experimental beer if you are into checking out some non-standard styles and flavours. Although not the best beer, check out Electric Bicycle for one of the most interesting brewery in the area. And finally, Brewhall is a good place to watch sports. It's a big place, and their beer is really good.

East Vancouver is probably the best area for craft brews, but this post would go on and on and on if I start writing about those. LOL
