My set arrived in the mail today. It's as beautiful and haunting as you'd expect. Only downside is my turntable is in storage and you can't download the music on the website until tomorrow. First time I can recall being mad at canada post for being TOO good.
Planning on downloading the album and listening to it on the walk home from the NAC tomorrow night.
For anyone who didn't get a ticket to the Ottawa show, the NAC's Twitter account posted about 45 minutes ago that "elect tickets for tomorrow night’s performance of Gord Downie’s Secret Path have been released for purchase". Just noticed.
More tickets added for Ottawa show. I also see that some of the $1000 are now on for $250, but require an offer code.

got my package today as well. great deal for all that. and the money goes to charity. such a win win there
gonna spin the album now. the picture book is indeed haunting
this is certainly a story that needed to be dealt with and i'm feeling damn proud of gord for doing it
it's not a happy story. gut wrenching and like gord says, haunting.
but only good can come from this discussion/project. bravo gord. bravo.
listening now. Beautiful. (the subject matter is not, obviously)
Is there anywhere I can simply download the album digitally? I've seen vinyl and book options, but not just an mp3 download.

Just (7:45pm eastern) pulled a single ticket at $54, up in the balcony section for Ottawa. No code needed. Went back in, and it says no more available. Weird!

Not that I've seen (yet). Maybe tomorrow?
It wouldn't let me use access my download code from the vinyl tonight. I kind of like how it's "off the grid" for one night and I can only listen on my record player.
The album/book package is beautiful, can't wait to dig into a bit more later tonight. Definitely puts my shitty day into perspective.

So far it looks like the only way to get the digital version is to buy either the book or the vinyl package. I would check iTunes tomorrow. I'm sure they'll have it available soon.
Dumb question but this isn't being sold on plain old CD at all, is it?
What a god damn package, Gord. Pretty rough listening that also somehow soothes. I don't know what to say about all of this but it's incredibly beautiful and well presented and I really hope it helps bring more awareness t all of this. Really helps me put my shitty day into perspective. Thank you, Gord. ❤️

ha ha, this is me too!
I like having something I can hold in my hands, read, cover art etc
With all the hyping of this album, I can't believe how hard it is to purchase and listen to the damn thing. They should be offering it in all kinds of downloadable formats, and donating the proceeds. Amazon is out of stock on vinyls, and the official page charges 30 bucks for shipping, on top of the 52 buck price tag. I can't afford that.
