A lot of basers are angry about tickets but I'm curious what percentage actually got shut out.

Poll: Did you get tickets to any dates on the upcoming tour?

I was fortunate to land tickets to all the shows I wanted, Victoria, Ottawa and Kingston. Floor seats for Victoria and Ottawa, although they are far back (18th and 25th row). Landed side stage for Kingston. I'm super happy about Kingston, but it's honestly hard to fathom how far back I will be for these last few shows, as I've always had really good seats, and this will be my last time to see them ever. I really don't understand why the best seats weren't released for the fan club pre-sale. In light of the fiasco that has happened regarding the ticket sales, though, I'm very happy.

I think most've us will have gotten tickets to at least one show, just not the show we wanted

My aunt got me shitty tickets to an Edmonton show, which is disappointing but nevertheless appreciated. I guess it will be fitting as my first Hip show was seen from the upper bowl as well.

Wow. It's pretty encouraging to me that 75% of basers got tickets at face value. Nobody likes scalpers, but maybe this whole situation is getting a bit overblown? If these poll numbers continue, I hope someone shows this to the band. All this negative media must be really bumming them out at the worst possible time.

I scored 2 tickets for Vancouver 1 during the presale. Balcony (2nd level), right in the middle of the rink looking down towards the stage. Considering how this ticket sale has gone, I'm just happy I'm going.

I think it has more to do with the satisfaction with the tickets people got. Many people on here are typically at multiple shows on a tour and able to get some of the best seats in the house. What I've read is a number of people ending up with anything they could get their hands on just to be in the building.
I was hoping to get to 3 or 4 shows on the tour but thus far have only been able to get tickets to London. Grateful for those tickets, the hip usually put on great shows there, but even before the Gord news I was planning on catching a number of shows the next time they hit the road.

Now, 0 tickets.
Fuck.

I was only looking for two tix for any Toronto or Hamilton date. Struck out at all the presales and public sales. Each day I tried for the first 90 minutes using a PC and the Android app, then sporadically throughout the day. Nothing. Not a single hit on any of those shows. Its disheartening, but I'm happy that some of you got seats for multiple shows, you should go buy a lotto ticket now. Enjoy them. Cherish them.
If this truly the end and nothing changes from here on out, then 2015-04-18 will have been my last Hip show. Its been real guys.

We got Hamilton and Ottawa tickets via the pre-sale but 0 tickets for Kingston! Making one last Hip Trip from Maine and we were sure hoping for all 3 shows but I guess we should just consider ourselves lucky that we got 2 out of 3 at cost.
