I'll be in forth row to the left seat 14...so right on the isle. Anyway my uncle is running the setup for concert and he was telling me yesturday to date they have only sold 1300 tickets, its kinda a shame cause they haven't been here in like 5 years, but what can yeah do, they'll probly pick up this week. It will be a great show none the less, saturday night is sydney, we'll make it rockin'. See yeahs there.
Only 1300 tickets? That is wrong. I know people looking for good seats and there aren't any left. One guy wanted to trade my 7th row ticket for a ticket he had in the opposite end of the arena. Hell, James Brown sold 2500 tickets. You should get your Uncle to check those numbers again.
Also, they were here a couple years ago when they played on Citadel Hill. Before that it was Dec 12th 2000.

Yeah there is no way that only 1300 tickets we're sold..... i got my tickets 4 days after they went on sale and the floor was sold at at that point..plus alot of the lower bowl gone...no possible way theres only 1300 gone.
Chris...
That is still the plan, to send you the tapes and have you master everything. We're hoping for a kick-ass 2 or 3 DVD set...

Lol...sorry i'm talking about the sydney show...i seen someone mention it haha...not the halifax show.
They must have sold more than 1300 tickets for Sydney too.
I will be wearing my Hipbase t-shirt and looking for everyone who will be there on the main floor. Jamie (thehip11), Carolyn and I were looking for you at the London show also. We were at Robinson Hall at 7:30 but we must have missed you. The Halifax show will be awesome. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

That's too bad Hugh, we were there from 6-7 then went over to see Joel Plaskett open. We'll for sure see you on Saturday.

Halifax, the lower bowl was more-or-less sold out about a week and a half ago. I finally got my tickets and got to take a look at the seating.. I chose upper bowl tickets, section 41, rather than pick from the few lower bowls that were at the back end, opposite the stage. Getting anxious!!
if thats the case thats awful sales by halifax standards. everytime i've seen the hip in halifax at the HMC i would call in on the day of and do no better then upper bowl every time.
its even odd that there hasn't been a bigger push on the advertising if this is the case, i've only seen one or two newspaper ads since the original sale of tix
here is hoping for a halifax sell-out
I'm leaving for the airport. Carolyn and I are excited about Sunday's show. I'll be looking for Hipbase shirts on the main floor. I hope I run into a few of you.

Hugh.....we'll be in the centre section on the floor, row 7 I think. Come look for us. We're heading out tomorrow morning at 7am
Have a safe flight man!!!!

Cool to see you're making the trek here to the Canadian coast. Jamie, Rory and myself will be in the centre front floor section, right side, 7 rows from the stage. You should see Rory with his video gear with a gorilla near or beside him (that's me).

Remember guys, when Hugh inevitably gets you backstage
Somebody ask about the wrist band Gord's been wearing.
Well Carolyn(WheatQueen) and I made it to Wolfville, NS. We are having a wonderful time sight seeing and visiting with Carolyn's family. All of us are excited about the show tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
1 more day, I am so stoked. I am going in with the mindset that I'll be appreciative of every song they play, and I'm not hoping for any specific songs. That way I know I'll love it and not be disappointed in the least
