My brother and I waited for an hour and a half +, no luck in Ottawa

[Jbourgeois]

I got one single standing room in 102 for Kingston on my third try. Kept trying for an hour after for a pair but nothing.

Tried for the Winnipeg on sale when that started an hour later and got nothing after trying for an hour. I know at least 8 other people who were trying and all got nothing.
Luckily I had a single for the Winnipeg show on the floor row 4 during the fan club presale.

Not even a sniff for either Calgary show- so sad

[Fabs1978]

Nothing for all three Toronto shows, Kingston or London. Had at least four friends looking at the same shows. Nobody pulled even a single.

Been trying both Edmonton dates since 10 AM on ticketmaster app on iphone and have not even been able to pull a single for either night.

You need to go buy a lottery ticket immediately. That one seems to have been today's golden ticket. Congrats.

[Possum]

nothing.

I feel extremely lucky that I somehow snagged a pair of tix for Vancouver 1 during the presale. Public onsale starts in 25 minutes, and I'm still gonna try for 2 more. But I don't have a good feeling after reading everyone's comments here. This whole thing has been such a massive clusterf**k, and I feel terrible that some of you didn't get tickets. You would think the Hip's management would make some kind of statement about all of this, but something tells me they're just going to stay quiet and let the tour play out. Sadly, they can't do anything about it anyway.

Man there are a lot of scalpers on Kijiji for the Ottawa show; I'm assuming it's the same for the rest. It's pretty sad. Hopefully people don't bow to the crazy demands of the scalpers, but I'm sure that will be unlikely.

People are already bowing to the crazy demands of the official platinum scalpers, so I'm sure the unofficial ones will do fine.

Thank you! I feel so lucky! Sorry not everyone else did as well. Getting tickets for the last show has been on my mind since last week from the second I woke up every day until I fell asleep at night.

Same.

Well not the same, I didn't get tickets.

But has been on my mind ever since the announcement.

Its really quite sad that a band who has had such a great history, this ticket debacle is really closing it out on a sour note. I know its not the boys fault at all, but it is sad.

[edgoffin]

Will the ticket buying robots be able to write show reviews? I love reading the hipbaser show reviews for past tours.

Just came across this rant on Facebook.

Dear Ticketmaster, Stubhub and every other scalper who is profiting off the Tragically Hip. Suck it, and suck it hard.

These last Hip shows were meant to be:

1. A final send off for an iconic Canadian band, almost a living wake, a goodbye to the fans who have cherished and loved them since the beginning.

2. An opportunity for the band to donate money to Gord Downie's charity at Sunnybrook, not an opportunity for an orgy of greed and profiteering.

3. A feel good story.

Instead fans across the country were bent over, raked across the coals and screwed without being kissed and without compassion. Ticketmaster could have very easily capped sales at 2 per person, made the shows credit card entry only, given individual passwords to users, somehow instituted the old wristband policy. And if you wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt for the presales fiasco, halted the sale to the general public to ensure the scalers didn't win. But none of this happened.

I will not pay a 50% to 1000% mark up on tickets that had a charitable cause in mind. Neither should you.

Instead and I recommend to everyone, if the CBC does broadcast the final concert - gather your friends, encourage them to donate to Gord's Charity - $5, $10, $25 dollars. Or throw your own Roadside Attraction with the biggest TV or projector you and your friends have. Don't let the assholes win.

Gord once said, 'music brings people together'. Let's get together, snub the scalpers. It's the most Canadian thing we can do.

Please SHARE if you feel the same way.
