Not to beat a dead horse but would it kill the promoter, band, mAV, anyone, to surrender a "seating plan", other than GA and VIP blither?
This lack of info is the antethesis of a fan club announcement.

The option of flying Porter to New York/Chicago/Boston to see the Hip in a small club on multiple nights for close to the same price of fighting the 400 cottagers on the busiest long weekend of the year doesn't even seem comparable. I attended Downsview and Bobcaygeon last summer, and considering these shows will be very similar to those (same promoter, crowd size, douchebaggery level, set-list, etc.) I'm so ready for something new, but I will be patient.

Look for Porter to start offering specific Tragically Hip packages to some of these cities later this year...stay tuned

Don't quote me...but I'm willing to bet that everyone needs a ticket.

Im thinking that they have learned from the "vip" fiasco last summer that improvments will be made.

want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone
