    so..this will be like f5 days style???cos need to cook first and put beers at the cooler..need to be ready this time
    I HOPE its F5 style. Not because I love the insanity, but because I feel like I have a better shot than a lottery..

    And, yes, eat well beforehand. Its like a marathon - have to wake up and load up on carbs before the even begins because it could be a long one!

    I think if they did a warmup show it would be a secret show. Sort of like when Soundgarden played at the showbox last year under a different name

    Mookie Blaylock reunion!


    And easy. If you DON'T have tickets for PJ20, you are eligible here! Yes, people will bitch, but why see them at the fake deal when you're already in for the real deal?

    Maybe there should be a sign-up list for people who will def be in Chicago on 9/1 so 10C can email them at the last minute.

    They COULD do what the Foo Fighters did last week which still left a ton of people angry, but...

    Announce @ 10:30 a show that goes on sale 30 minutes later. The show was two days later... made it a little more difficult for people to scalp since they didnt have as much time to get it setup and also rewarded people who follow them on twitter/facebook.

    That said.. if it was TC only they could say announce it the afternoon of like 8/29 for an 8/30 onsale. Show is two days later... which might eliminate some last minute travel but won't make it any easier for anyone. :)
  • Montreal would be a great place for a secret show on September 8... No concert until the 11th in Toronto, with the premiere of the PJ20 doc on the 10th.

    Montreal 98, 00, 03, 05, 11
    Toronto 03, 06, 11
    Ottawa 05, 11
    Quebec 05; Saratoga 00; Boston 04; Toledo 04
    Albany 06; Honolulu 06; Hartford 08
    Costa Rica 11
    London (Ont.), Hartford 13
    Quebec, Fenway 1 + 2 16; London 18
    EV Montreal (2), Berkeley II, Albany, Boston, London (UK)

    I love what the Foo Fighters did. The 'Tour Of Los Angeles' earlier this year... Dave tweeted, which was relayed almost immediately to the Foo Forum, that they were playing... but, not where they were playing. We got photos from the road, giving us clues. It was fun. The shows were announced hours before showtime and you had to get to the venue... 20 bucks cash only... ONE ticket per person... swap the 20 for a wristband... slapped on the wrist, shoved in the door... no ins/outs. 200 to 600 people got to see a 3 hour show. Pretty much, locals only.

    Yeah that would be one way to do it... I'd like to think they can find a good middle ground so everyone has a chance since it would probably just be the one warmup as opposed to a handful. I do love the way that the FF tend to do things like that though - very fan friendly. Not that PJ isn't fan friendly, but it seems like the FFs have gone above and beyond on this tour with the LA tour, the garage tour, etc...

    We're getting closer... I wouldnt expect a tweet for a warmup since the last thing they need is MORE people signing up to try for tickets, but... maybe Mon or Tues announcement?

    Haha... but that would be getting ready for failure... :D

    I do need to run some finger exercises and practice my mouse clicking skills and whatnot. Need a drill sergeant here to help me get properly ready for this because if it happens its going to be a journey getting tickets!

    Nah... just an all-out rumble... at least you know quickly if you are in or not. Lotteries you're just sitting around waiting.

    Otherwise my finger training will be wasted...
