Update from The Hip re Saturday's Show:
#1

The Hip have updated their website with info about Saturday's performance. Among the details is this:

SHOW TICKETS:
The Tragically Hip concert at the Rogers K-Rock Centre is completely sold out and there will be
NO ADDITIONAL TICKETS released for this show at the box office or online through Ticketmaster.


Effing dang on that. Lots more stuff about parking, road closures etc...

Also, if you entered the lottery, winners will be announced Friday and you are being asked to pick the tickets up on Friday. It says "being asked" though, not "must". Maybe they'll be lenient. Though, I wouldn't want to test it!

Hoping for leniency as well!

Same here...I would have to drive there, come back to Hamilton that night and then head back up there the next day. Its not the end of the world and I'll be in the building but I never win anything and I'm guessing there will be like 50K worth of entries so my odds are not good.

i entered to win tickets, at the time i did not know my hours... i'm stuck working 8a-a8p for the last 17 days and will continue to until sunday. thus missing all shows which is gutting me terribly. i also never win anything. but if there is a slight chance, i'll try my best to have them let me donate them to HIPBASE. lol.....

Like someone else said above, would be really scared to test it but do people read that they would maybe let you pick up lottery tickets on Friday?

I read it as saying it all happens Fri--if you win the draw on Fri, you gotta get there by 8 pm that day to pick up your tickets. "Winners will be asked to purchase tickets in person at the Rogers K-Rock Centre between 1pm-8pm ET on Friday, August 19th."

It sure reads thay way , but seems odd to me

They must know that a pretty high percentage of people that entered the lottery would be travelling Saturday... limiting it to Friday pick up only will be a clusterfuck for sure

When it speaks of "purchasing tickets", I think they're talking about payment only. I think (although it's not at all clear) you would still pick them up Saturday night. If that's the case, you could potentially pay over the phone.

Especially considering every hotel room in kingston is sold out

I just came from the Canadian Tire Centre. The guy behind me won the lottery and said all he was doing was picking up the wristband. He had to get in line to get the actual tickets later. So, for Kingston, you will still have to get there on Friday to get your wristband. Getting the wristband is the important thing, as they know you want them and won't release them.
