    For those coming from out of town and thinking of staying downtown (or if you just live downtown)...

    My friend owns a small bar in downtown Ottawa (and he's coming to the show). We are looking into renting a school bus that would pick us up at the bar, take us out to the concert then bring us back afterwards. Saves the hassle of public busing/expensive parking at the arena.

    Final pricing would be $10-15 CAD depending on the numbers (I think the quote was ~400 for the rental that can seat 40+).

    We already have 6 confirmed with our friends. If others are interested, let me know and we can look at setting it up.

    At least three more with my group, maybe 5.

    Interested but what time would the bus be heading up to the arena? I would like to be there and spend some time @ the Wishlist Foundation Pre Party, if the pre party is held at the same location the '11 was taken place.

    I'd be interested in reserving two spots on this if there are still openings.

    Pretty much staying downtown Ottawa. Last time I stayed close to the arena nothing exciting was around. Everything was happening downtown.

    Oh yeah, if anyone still has an extra GA Ottawa ticket please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Also @heebeejeebee is looking to fill up a bus from downtown to the CTC so you might want to sign up for that.
