Longing for tickets. I wasn't able to get Toronto tickets however I see that an extra show has been added in Hamilton a few days before Toronto and prices are much more reasonable. All less han $100. The presale is for the Fan Club. Does anyone know how we order? Code? Password? I presume the Fan Club is this site.

With the new date to Hamilton I got info that there is no presale to this venue (and therefore I have not posted any info about that presale). However, ticketmaster.ca seems to say that there is. That's all I know for the moment.

Well, hopefully we can figure out how to get the presale for Hamilton! I''ve been a LC fan for over a decade, and living in Chicago, I was absolutely CRUSHED to see there's no indication of U.S. dates. . . so, despite the cost of traveling expenses in our rising recession and the dwindling U.S. dollar, I am absolutely determined to go to this show! Having a friend in Hamilton helps and really limits me to this location. There's no way anyone in the U.S. can just sit and wait and guess and hope a U.S. tour will happen, so might as well head out of the country while tickets are still available! Too bad I can't afford the $1300 plane ticket to Belgium, otherwise I'd go to the show in Bruges.

So the question, is if Jarkko doesn't know at the moment, then how will we find out what the "Fan Presale" login into is once Tuesday morning at 10:00am EDT hits??? I' don't know what constitutes Ticketmaster.ca's "fan presale" and don't know what is usually required. Frustrating!

I want to be ready to snap up my pair of tickets before they sell out! There's NO way I want to let this pass me by since one can't count on a U.S. show. . .

Hi, I am a new member of this community and wonder, where would the pre-sale password for the Hamilton show appear on this site? Have their been pre-sale passwords on this site for other shows?

Thanks

Contrary to our earlier notice, no pre-booking is available to the Maritimes concerts due to the technical difficulties related to ticketing systems of the small theaters

There is another thread about this in the Tour 2008-2009 section.

I live in Hamilton. I just talked to the Box Office at Hamilton Place. There is a pre-sale, but they were not able to clarify whether or not that would include members from here. Are you going to provide a password, assuming that they will, or that they might, include members here in that pre-sale?

Ticketmaster shows that there is a Priority Club for Hamilton Place; a club that can get pre-sale tickets, in addition to other small perks before and during the show. To join this club is about $50.00

To summarize, it is still not clear to me whether the pre-sale tickets are ONLY for the Priority Club, or are also available to members here. The person I talked to at the Box Office seemed to think it was the latter, but I'm not convinced that's true.
[This confusion caused by the comment elsewhere on this site that there are no pre-sale tickets for members of this forum.]

Any comments?

But Hamilton is NOT in the Maritimes!

I checked this with the tour management, and there will be no Forum/Files member pre-sale to any of the Canadian locations that go on public sale on Thursday. The venues may have some pre-sale of their own for local season ticket holders and other special groups.

Thanks for your reply. [And thanks for all your efforts in providing news about this entire tour! Much appreciated!]

I talked to the Box Office as well, and they could only tell me that there was a pre-sale, but not for whom.

I am just now beginning to get nervous and frustrated. Four calls to the Hamilton Box Office so far, every time you get a slightly different story.

Latest word I got was that you have to register with the Box Office by e-mail and wait to hear back from them to see if you are on the list before the Wednesday pre-sale. When you link to their e-mail address, you just get an empty e-mail message page, with no further information on how to proceed. I just wrote an e-mail and am waiting to hear back from them.

I'm now worried about whether I can get decent seats or not.

Reminds me of the run-around I got trying to buy tickets for Neil Young at Massey Hall. I got on-line two minutes into that sale and STILL did not get tickets!! For both shows!!

When I talked to the lady at the wicket, she was clearly just reading the information off of the Ticketmaster website.

Uh, thanks.

Jarkko and anyone else who knows

I called the Hamilton venue and they said there is a presale beginning Wed am
I called Ticketmaster and they said there is a presale beginning Wed am
American Express Front of the Line says there is a presale Wed am and
nobody knows who is running it...help!

Any advice? If I can get Hamilton tickets, I will have 2 good tickets to Toronto concert Friday night.

Yeah! Doesn't anybody show up two days early and camp out on the sidewalk anymore?
