bootlegguy Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ok. So it's basically certain that the Rush show won't go off as planned. They just cancelled Selena Gomez at the venue for Aug 16th. Obviously the Rush show on Jul 24 cannot go ahead. Show is not cancelled officially, but TM no longer lets you purchase tickets to it. I can only hope this is because they are still looking into a possible venue change. Please be Edmonton, Please be Edmonton!!!I did see in an article that the Selena Gomez concert was moved to Lethbridge, maybe that's where rush will go.That arena in Lethbridge is about 1/3 the size of saddledome. They wouldn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meridian Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Don't worry, I don't think you missed out on much. The best I saw was for lower bowl. Sucks because I had 2nd row for Calgary now it seems I would be lucky to get first 10 rows. Anyone else have any luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
souperconductor Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 $600 in VIP packages hasn't even gotten me an email yet. Not happy with VIPNation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootlegguy Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Got a presale pw from music today. Went on right at 12, best pair row 13 floor which is oddly enough the exact same thing I had for calagry so I'm happy. Too bad I didn't manage to get a little closer.

RushBoingo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well after loads of troubles I got row 16, one row back from Calgary, though based on the floor layout I think I might be at the front of the second set of chairs so my view won't be that bad. Damn Ticket Scalpers anyway right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meridian Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It's weird though because I don't see any good floor seats for sale on any scalper websites. It makes me think that this presale is just dumping average tickets and they are saving good seats for general or later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
souperconductor Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Happier with VIPNation. Just got an email yelling me my VIP seats were automatically transferred if I want. After some consideration (approx. a nanosecond) I responded in the positive. I suspect that's where a chunk of the floor seats went, depending on VIP package sales. A big relief, under the 'circumstances'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
