    This will be my first time crossing the border. I made a really dumb mistake 20 years ago when I was 19 and got a dui in United States. It was really stupid I know, but definitely a learning lesson. I know Canada can be very strict on this. Will I have any issue crossing the border since this was over 10 years ago?

    You really don't know until you try, but the general rule of thumb seems to be "In cases where an American was convicted of a single impaired driving offense, he or she may be "deemed rehabilitated" ten years after satisfying all sentencing and may be permitted to enter the country"

    Scoured various threads a bit for Van GA stats and came up with this:

    -Only 3 members have posted GA wins for N1
    -6 members have posted GA wins for N2
    -2 members have mentioned having N2 GA for trade but never posted about winning them

    As I’ve said I’m well aware that many don’t post here but this seems so odd. 
    Who the hell is in the pit? 😂 

    Nice sleuthing. Hmm, something doesn't smell right on TM's part (which isn't the least bit surprising)
    The other interesting thing I’ve picked up on is it seems non-GA floor seats were treated as “best seats” when it came to giving out fanclub lottery wins; while now that TM is trying to sell the N2 inventory they held back, side stage lower bowl are being treated as “best seats” ahead of non-GA floor 🤨 
    Based on seat and fanclub number comparisons in the Vancouver PJ fans group I'm in on facebook, the side stage, lower bowl seats were considered the better seats. I think we've heard of so few people getting those though because, like the floor seats, they are alternating the rows between fanclub and premium tickets so that half (or less?) of the best seats are available to 10C tickets.

    Interesting. For Night 1 I'm row 4 behind the pit, and night 2 row 1 behind the pit.   I guess they deemed section 118 to be better than the floor seats.   Not sure I would argue with that as you can see above the crowd if your in the wings.   I think the first few rows behind the pit are ok, but further back then that, not so good.

    This is the first time since 2011 I haven’t won GA in Vancouver and my seats might be considered worse now than 13 yrs ago. That show was at the old Coliseum but I had equivalent seats to sec 117 row 1. This go round I’m row 16 & 21 floor. Maybe a combo of less good seats for the club & more high seniority members attending this years shows 🤷‍♂️

    I think I'm neutral.  I think I was something like row 16 or 18 on the floor in 2011.  That show had higher demand because there was no Seattle show for the PJ 20 tour.  I think with row 4 and row 1 I'm around the equivalent of row 19 and row 15 for a seated floor this time around, so not much different.

    I think my best was row 8 in 2003 (or was it 2005?)

    yah it was all seats... I remember we got Angry Eddie because some people up front didn't appreciate Ole, which kind of turn the energy of the show up a notch and was kind of awesome.

    I think Vancouver '13 was the only Vancouver show so far with a pit.  Well Pemberton '16 was all GA with a VIP GA section too :)

    Yah, Eddie got pissed by some of the front rowers for lack of energy. I mean, it was Ole, but still. They were probably radio contest winners and didn't show much energy the whole show. If you find video, it's like he's singing/yelling the song at them. LOL

    No, but we were contemplating the violent femmes at the commodore between shows, but I'll most likely go do a hike in the northshore mountains somewhere :)

    Also.. does anyone remember Vancouver '98.   My first show were they played a song after YL.   Eddie's like.. com'on, one more, and they did a blistering version of Baba O' Riley. so good :)

    ^^That'd be nice. 

    It wasn't until today that I noticed IDLES was playing two nights in Vancouver...conveniently just before PJ. My buddy and I arrive in Vancouver the afternoon before IDLES's second show, which is sold out. May have to scalp tix to it :pensive:

    Just scored a great upgrade for Vancouver N2 on F2F. So I’m posting a floor row 20 pair if anyone is still looking for tickets.

    Good luck in the sale. Unfortunately N2 appears to have plenty of tickets still available and the floor doesn’t seems to be popular among the general audience. Too bad TM didn’t allow to set your own price. 😒
