    i forgot to mention that there's a cheap casino on the grounds, open late. don't crowd it, as i like my space when gambling.

    oh, and all you americans: our legal drinking age is 19, but don't be a douche. we're peaceful up here until someone spills our beer. then IT'S ON!!!

    alright, here's some valuable information for people attending this show:

    -August 21st is the first day of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE/theEX, http://www.theex.com/ ), which neighbours Ontario Place (home of the Molson Amphitheatre). opening day is historically the busiest day of the event, so if you're planning on driving or taking public transit, allot yourself extra time to park/get there (unless you're taking the mostly reliable GO train).

    good call. traffic and the volume of people in the area will be much higher than normal,...

    BUT, you've solved my dilemma as to what/where to eat for dinner, as i'll definitely be hitting the food building at the Ex before the PJ show!

    ;)

    don't forget there's no shortage of corndogs on the grounds. always keep room for corn dogs.

    and tiny tom donuts.

    Well, after a whole lot of stress, I finally got them!

    Not too impressed, since I didn't get the email till 3pm, and then I was at work so I couldn't get on here. Then my password wouldn't work...
    A little warning would have been nice!

    Oh well, it all worked out. Hopefully my #208xxx gets me some decent tix. I got SHAFTED for the Eddie shows, second last row!

    Peace

    Speaking of seniority & good seats - I'm a newer member and my number sucks (400xxx), just wondering what I should expect for seats? Could I have fared better on Ticketmaster?

    If you're waffling on driving vs. taking public transit, do yourself a favour and take public transit. The Amphitheatre's not the world's most accessible venue at the best of times, but the fact it's opening day of the CNE means this will not be the best of times. Only word of caution: the show will end at 11pm. The eastbound GO Train leaves Exhibition at 11pm. You'll end up waiting about forty minutes for the next train; given that, TTC might be the better option.

    I'll be there too. Can't wait. I'm pretty tempted to stay an extra day for a Jays game too.

    the jays are playing the la angels (of anaheim) that weekend (saturday & sunday 1:07 pm matinees). these games are listed as premium home games. this means that tickets will be $9 in the 500s (where the rowdy fans like me are), $25 outfield 200s, $31 outfield 100s, and progressively more expensive. unless the tickets are free, i never sit anywhere but the 500s, but i won't try and push my beliefs on you. but please try and catch 'em this year, just to say you saw the 2009 world series champs play this season (yeah, i went there).

    unfortunately the argos (our cfl team) are not playing that weekend, so no good ol' canadian football for y'all.

    Thanks. Yeah, I've been to the Jays before, but not in a couple of years. I'm with you about them being champs! September should be fun.

    Another word to the wise: last time Pearl Jam played the Amphitheatre, tickets were gone eight minutes after the public onsale. The Molson Amphitheatre isn't especially big--16,000, give or take--and assuming a sizeable chunk's going to fan club and to radio presales it's probably gonna be a similar situation this time 'round.

    Another tidbit about the Ampitheatre: you can hear the soundcheck outside the venue :)

    I remember in '03 the soundchecked Why Go - back when they NEVER played it love ... and then of course the didn't play at that night. :)
