Wonderful news for Leonard's fans in western Canada and the Pacific Northwest! How I wish I could include this one. Victoria was my parents home for 30 years and I know and love the city well, but alas...all my $$$ are tied up with Oakland and Las Vegas. However to all those who can attend...enjoy, enjoy...you lucky ones!!

Heh ouch. I live in Victoria and already bought great seats in Vancouver. Might have to consider some cheaper seats for this.

Hi,

Just joined the forum. I know it is still a couple days to go yet, but can anyone tells me how do I buy Victoria pre-sale ticket (I am in Victoria)?

Thanks much.

We live on central Vancouver Island and bought presale tickets for Portland, Oregon months ago when there were no Canadian dates. Then Vancouver was announced, and now Victoria. We can't sell the Portland tix and go to Victoria because friends are going to Portland with, and because of, us. Despite all the extra travel and hotel expense I'm glad that we will get to hear LC, but this is a pretty strange way to schedule a tour.

thank you

Hello Cohen friends, I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion about whether the victoria venue or the vancouver venue would be a better place to see leonard in. I know any place you see him it's good.. but i'm just super bad when it comes to options. I bought the vancouver ticket just before the victoria one was announced -- so i can refund and get a victoria ticket. I'm thinking smaller = better? i don't know -- or are the tickets cheaper in victoria?

Anyway, i revere the guy along with most here - each in our own reverent way i suppose -- and i appreciate everyone who reads and posts and keeps this place alive.

Thanks,

Robert

I saw show last time he was in Victoria (Apr 09) and it was great. I would go with Victoria base on 6000 people compared to 15000+? in Vancouver. I am not big on arena shows to start with.
Plus at this point you would probably be able to get first 3 rows ($250) in Victoria if money is no object.
Acoustics are good also. Other ticket prices $150, $80, $40

Hi,

The ticket sale link is not reachable now. Anyone has the same issue?

Hi Emily,

The presale starts at 10am PDT, so if you're in Victoria it will be 10am your time. Then check the beginning of this thread for the password which Jarkko will provide. You still have about an hour and a half. Good luck!

Hi Ladydi,

I meant the sale link given in the first post: http://www.snipurl.com/syt-select

It is a general ticket sale site, not just specific to this concert and I can access it yesterday no problem.

I think (and hope) that they will activate the URL when the presale begins. [However, some days ago when I got the link and made a test, the link worked and took me to a page with password request. I entered the password and got to the concert page - for the time being showing a note that the fan presale is not yet open. Let's see what happens at 10 am PDT!
