Checked out the livenation pre-sale this morning to see if Orchestra Pit seats in Edmonton were on sale. I tried just getting a single anywhere in the Pit, but it told me there were no results. I know they are selling them, but I think whatever is left will be up for grabs on Friday and/or reserved for radio giveaways.
However, my darling wife went on stubhub this morning and scored 2 tix, Centre row BBB, not sure of the actual seat numbers. It was $165 a ticket.
When I cheked out stubhub a few minutes ago those were the cheapest tix up for grabs, and the best seats up for grabs. Some people are selling bleeders for $400 - $800 per ticket. So I think we did pretty good, be almost impossible to get better seats than that on Friday morning. Plus had those tickets stayed on there til Friday, they would have inflated even more.
The reason we spent so much is that this june is our 5th Anniversary. The Hip played an important part in our wedding back in June of 2004, we were front and centre against the stage at New City 2 days before our wedding. My wife had JF walk up to her after the encore and present her with his drum sticks, so it was an extra special night for us. I'm still trying to actually get those sticks signed by JF so I can frame them for her.
So anyway we spent a total of $750 and have great seats for all 3 shows.
Mon, Sep 14, Seat location: section RC, row G, seats 58-59
Wed, Sep 16, Seat location: section LC, row A, seats 19-18
Thu, Sep 17, Seat location: section Pit Centre, row BBB
Before you ask me if I am rich, let me say that we agreed that these tix will be our 5th Anni presents to one another. I think we may have actually saved money :lol:
and I am not rich
