    yeah man, prices are just out of control right now for big bands....its got to stop.....

    i feel for the younger generation who literally wont be able to see some bands just due to lack of funds and skyrocketing prices. pretty nice to have a bunch of shows under your belt though, because it looks like it will be slim concerting for myself the way thes prices are going.....

    first neil, now the hip......DAMN! its so much money.
    So how does the pre-sale on the Hip;s web site work? Best seats in the house like PJ?

    I remember now...

    If you're registered on the hip's website go there before 10am and sign in. Not sure where (likely in the "shows" tab) you'll see them post the pw. From there it's just a pw to use on TM's website.

    I guess I would compare it more to Edge 102's presale, as opposed to the TC.

    Sorry I just re-read your question, which I didn't answer. I guess I would say no...it's more like the hit or miss like everyone TM sale

    Crap. But thanks for the reply. You going to try for any of the shows? I was maybe thinking of trying for one of the Kitchener shows.

    A mid-week show eh? And the beginning of the tour. If you want my opinion try for the 2nd night of Toronto if you want close tickets. Most people will try for either the 1st Toronto show or the weekend.

    If you need help let me know, as I won't be trying for tix tomorrow.

    log in, you go to the shows page, then you find the show you want. click more info for that show, there you will see a space for the presale password and a link for the presale site (ie, ticketmaster, livenation)

    GOOD LUCK!

    arrg I hate ticketbastard! I tried to order tickets for the NY show and they wanted to charge me $10 convenience charge and a $5 processing fee...What a load of bullshit that's almost 50% of the ticket price. I guess I'm gonna have to make a trip the the venue one of these days.
