I borrowed this from The Henhouse

This was in the London Free Press today:

----------

Meanwhile, in yesterday's other big news from the centre, the Tragically
Hip concert sold-out in eight minutes. Shania Twain holds the record for
speediest sell-out in just seven minutes. Canada's No. 1 rock band plays
the centre Nov. 27.

it was faster than 7 minutes because tickets were unable at 10:01

it was faster than 7 minutes because tickets were unable at 10:01

They were available after that, because I didn't get mine until about 10:05. However, it is possible that all of the tickets were on hold at 10:01 and after some people (such as myself) tried to foolishly look for better seats, those tickets were then released again... and then officially sold out at 10:08.

I got mine (front row) at 10:00 on the nose...but I remember looking a few minutes later to find more...but obviously didn't need them. But I did notice the selection my second time around was really crappy!!

That's pretty cool...completely contra to the thread about how they're not selling out venues anymore. What's the capacity of this London show??

[skippy the wonder dog]

Capacity is 10,000, I think.

[grooveless touque]

That's pretty impressive...Halifax is only 12,000 so I wonder if we'll sell out too? We did last time.
