    Meaning it might be done by concert time?

    Are cabs easy to come by in downtown Ottawa?

    Cabs are easy to find, though you're looking at ~$50+ one way for a cab from downtown Ottawa to the arena (assuming no traffic).

    My friend is still looking at renting a bus from his bar in downtown Ottawa. Probably leave downtown to get there for around 6:30-7:00.

    I'm going to see him this weekend, so I should have more info.

    Try getting a cab after the show... damn near impossible. Waited almost an hour for one last time around
    Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight,
    I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
    I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
    I am right by your side.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    I read that Quebec was on the forums. But they are back-to-back. From what I gathered reading here, the count differs depending on who you talk to. It would be awesome though.

    It would have been quebec but with the canceled show it moves too ottawa. Would be awsome if they did something special for it

    For all you travelling, thought you might like to know that I was able to book the Ottawa Westin (apparently the best hotel in town, right by the Parliament Buildings) for only $80 USD +tax/night through Priceline's name your own price bidding feature.

    For 3 nights including tax that came out to $280 USD total (about $350 CAD) which is way way less than directly through the hotel (which was like $800.00 for 3 nights!). Good luck, happy bidding, and most impotently enjoy what is sure to be a fantastic show!!!

    That's about how much I paid for my hotel stay in Ottawa for 3 nights, that's pretty much on the same block where our Parliament Hill is.
