andreww Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 So the hometown shows are Wednesday and Friday and I still have no tickets. Budget dictates something in the 300 level and I'm hoping to find something for Friday, so if any nice Rush fans wanna help out a fellow member who wants to take his son to his first concert, let me know what you've got. Investigating a couple of Kijiji ads right now.
EagleMoon Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 You've been on the FB Ticket Exchange page, yes? That's the place to look.
andreww Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Yep I've been on the ticket exchange. I've messaged one person there, just waiting for a response. I just feel more comfortable meeting in person and buying hard tickets, and everybody seems to be well out of the city. Just don't want to get burned.
Laurabw Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I hear ya. You're obsessively checking Ticketmaster right? (Is that what you have there too?)
andreww Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Ya but ticketmaster has been completely sold out for weeks. On the bright side, I work right at the arena so when they do the set up on Wednesday the should be releasing a bunch of side stage seat which I really like, and I can snag a pair pretty quick. Tickets at the box office are a lot cheaper as well. 1
Lorraine Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Andrew, since you work there, are you able to sit in on their sound check? I knew someone in the eighties who worked at what was then known as Brendan Byrne Arena and he used to be able to do that. Edited June 15, 2015 by Lorraine 1

HalfwayToGone Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 First rush show I saw was at Brendan Byrne. They closed it down in the past year. I think the last event there was Ringling Bros. circus or something like that. Great memories of that place even though it had shitty acoustics. 1
Laurabw Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah, the good old days of Brendan Byrne. So much easier to get to for me than The Rock. 1

BY-TORonto Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Stub hub? I doubt you'll find anything less than 100 by now :/

Unfortunately not Lorraine, the financial company I work for has no affiliation with the ACC. 1

I figure by noon tomorrow the side stage tickets should become available. 1
andreww Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 Stub hub? I doubt you'll find anything less than 100 by now :/ Unfortunately I don't partake in anything I deem to be scalping. I've got no problem paying face value for a ticket but not a dime more. Its amazing to see these parasites trying to pedal $65 300 level seats for $300.
BY-TORonto Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 The thing with stubhub is that they charge a fee for the guy trying to sell the ticket. Everytime I've sold a ticket on there, I would charge face value plus the extra fee. It seems like they are scalping, but if it's an extra $10 or $20 bucks, they are just covering their own butt.
andreww Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 Ended up buying a last minute pair on Ticketmaster. 300 level, but front row and on Alex's side to boot. 2
Lorraine Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Brendan Byrne ArenaThat's a name from a long forgotten era Just showing my age. :codger: The last concert I ever went to was at the Byrne Arena in 1988. 1
