Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - thedarkcanuck - 03-05-2009

A friend got us tickets for Banff, anyone been to this venue? website says less than 1,000 capacity....what a perfect end to summer this nights gonna be....wish it wasn`t over 1/2 a year away :wink:

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - MountainHip - 03-05-2009

I go there religiously. I've seen Jim Cuddy, the Arogant Worms, and I am going to see Serena Ryder, and then THE HIP!!! (man I'm excited.... it's going to be a long summer)

It's pretty small. The only thing comparable I have been to is the Southern Jube in Calgary, and a movie theatre. For those who have been to the Jube, I can say the Eric Harvie Theatre is like the Jube only one level, and narrower.

If I have a chance I'll take some pictures of the place (empty), as there isn't much on the internet.

I saw Sarah Harmer there once. Great venue. The movie theatre example is pretty much dead on. It's pretty small and very intimate.

I'm pumped for this one as well. Grabbed some seats in row F.

I found this site here with some details:

Those pics remind me of Alumni Theater at Carleton U, which is a great venue. You're lucky to see them in a place like that!

I really hope I can dig up good tickets for this show....and a Saturday night makes a good excuse to go to the mountains for the whole weekend!

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - headstoner - 03-06-2009

any chance theyll add a second show?

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - MountainHip - 03-06-2009

I don't know, but given their schedule - I would be surprised.

Sept. 14, 16, 17 / Edmonton, Jubilee Auditorium
Sept. 19 / Banff, Eric Harvie Theatre
Sept. 21, 23, 24 / Calgary, Jubilee Auditorium

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - aaronck - 03-06-2009

Guess how I did......booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I was right on at 10am. how did they sell out that quick?

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - MountainHip - 03-06-2009

My guess is that only 1/2 of the tickets were left after the presale.
Somewhere around 500

edit: seems like there weren't any at all...................

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - sgryzko - 03-06-2009

i missed out on Banff too. I thought i was quick both for the presale and today, but i guess not quick enough.

At least i managed to get 5 tickets to the Jube on the 21st!

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - sherpahigh - 03-06-2009

A friend of mine managed to grab a pair right at the back at 10:00 this morning. Sounds like most were shut out.

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - Gibson - 03-06-2009

At presale time, the wife locked into a set, and her computer froze. No dice there.
As for onsale, it froze on her again, and nothing. I was at an outlet. I pulled row 2 floor for night 3 (Calgary), and when he switched over to Banff, the system froze momentarily, and nothing.

Congrats to those fortunate enough.

And if anyone is keeping tabs, I googled the place, and came up with a seating capacity of 959.

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - moejiles - 03-07-2009

I was just on ebay there is a guy selling 3 pairs of row A for Eric Harvie for a grand a pair - un real! And most people cant get in the building. How do these people get access to tickets? Frustrating..
Luckly I was able to score great seats with the presale - certainly not row A though..

Re: Banffs Eric Harvie Theatre - MountainHip - 03-08-2009

For those who haven't found it yet, here's the seating plan
