Some of my Calgary friends saw this in May and said it was outstanding - I'm all over one of the Toronto shows.

It says there is a "Registered Users" pre-sale for tickets on Sat. Dec. 15 for those who are already signed up on the mailing list. I assume this means the Hip mailing list? I haven't received any pre-sale code yet - is the assumption that it will be emailed out right at 10am local time? Will anyone post the pre-sale code here in case emails are delayed getting to people?

Ditto. If I can't see the Hip them dammit I'll see a ballet set to their music! Also this might be the ultimate crystallization of mine and my wife's relationship; short of a ballet set to Pearl Jam I'm not sure where else we can take this.

I love ballet. Think it's a great, beautiful form. So of course I got tickets to this. Not sure about the "post-apocalyptic" concept, however...that doesn't seem terribly "Hip-ish" at all. (Reminds me slightly of "Masked and Anonymous," the complete mess of a film whereby Bob Dylan's songs somehow "inspired" a futuristic post-apocalyptic setting, even though Bob's music rather obviously deals not in that, but in archaic myth - looking backwards into lost time, rather than forwards into some dark future). In any case, it'll be interesting to see how the music lends itself to dance. I'm quite sure that Gord D would have absolutely loved this.

My daughter dances and I was excited when I saw the announcement as I'd hoped it would be something we could go to together.
Unfortunately, the "Cross Canada" tour fell somewhat short of Halifax.

Re: All of Us - thompson girl - 03-22-2019
Got a message from ticketmaster saying all of the Canadian shows were cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. Have no clue how that’s even possible, but whatever. That’s disappointing. As if we haven’t been through enough the past few years - this would’ve been cathartic.
Re: All of Us - thebends - 03-23-2019
Had first row for Hamilton. Scheduling conflict sounds a little lame, too bad.
Re: All of Us - schaggs - 03-25-2019
Must have been low sales - there's no way there was a scheduling conflict - tickets went on sale in November.

There were a lot of seats left for the Toronto shows. I was going to exchange ours - the Who are here the same night - and could've picked from any price point. In fairness, these were really, really expensive - think ours were $150 per?
Re: All of Us - Killer Whale Tank - 03-25-2019
Bummer! I had tickets for me, my wife, and my daughter (who is a hardcore ballet student). Boo.
That this thing flopped reinforces a suspicion I've had for some time, which is that everyone is kind of "Hipped out." The country went through a cathartic grieving process during the MMP tour. We had a collective experience of gratitude and closure. The will for more is just not there. Witness the very muted recognition of the first anniversary of Gord's passing - people just didn't feel the need to go over it all again.
I don't think this is insensitive, necessarily...there is only so much catharsis folks need, and the national goodbye was so spectacular that anything further is bound to have a bathetic quality. It will be interesting to see, however, if there ever comes a larger-scale "reassessment" of the Hip and their legacy at some point, or whether the entire phenomenon basically closed with the final show and then the mourning over Gord's demise. If the latter, then the Hip basically become sealed forever in time as the phenomenon of a particular generation (the 1990s), of only tangential interest to the future, and 2-3 classic hits on classic rock/oldies radio being the primary legacy.
All that being said: I was curious to see how the Hip's work would transpose into ballet. So I'm disappointed. This failure may also deter other artists from taking chances and messing with the Hip's catalogue; and this will further seal their work into 1990s amber, alas.
