Lol. I didn't get any photos. I wanted to get one with the girls with the Tragically Hip logo spray painted on their naked upper halves... But I couldn't make it happen.
And further to an earlier comment about the band not getting paid - the band donates their time and the foundation makes a $150,000 donation to a chairity that the band chooses.
All in it was a fun time, and for $500 not a bad deal. A show at the ACC wouldn't have been much cheaper - $120 for ticket, $25 to park, $12 a beer, plus pre show dinner... Gets to be a few hundred bucks pretty quick. At this event I was three people from the stage, all the food and beer I wanted was seconds from my spot, not a single person tried to push their way through to get to the front, and I was able to return to my spot without issue. It was so nice versus the standard GA experience.
