i think that the hip should come to g.p. because they have alot of fans here. they should come even though it is a smaller community then what they are use to. and if a big mane like the tragically hip come to grande prairie maybe it would put g.p on the map for other bands tours. and they should do it for there fans.!!!

Good call.

I think they should also come and hang out in my back yard and put on a show just for me and a select group of my buddies. :thumb:

It would probably even kick ass, in a Langlois-ian sort of way, wouldn't it? :wink:

I was listening to Q107 here in Toronto a month or so ago, and they were doing a live-to-air broadcast from the Grand Prize home ($2.35 Million) for this year's Princess Margaret Hospital Lottery. ( <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.pmhf.ca">www.pmhf.ca</a><!-- w --> ) The DJ was interviewing the President of the lottery and he said, "Not only do you win this incredible, fully furnished and landscaped dream home; you also get $20,000 cash that you can use to hire The Tragically Hip to play your housewarming party!"

I was dialing the number to order my tickets before he finished the word 'party.'

I have 3 tickets, and the draw date is June 1. I'll be sure to start a thread letting everyone know when the party is. :thumb:

Wouldn't the Hip charge more than 20 grand to perform?

[chris]

Nope; at least not according to Clear Channel: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.clearchannelcollegeentertainment.com/searchresults.php?simple_artistname=tragically&x=0&y=0&submit=beensubmit">http://www.clearchannelcollegeentertain ... beensubmit</a><!-- m -->

What do they mean by "suggested college price"? and I like how they have them in the "alternative" genre. :roll: I dont believe that $15,000 is accurate, it seems awfully low to me.

i think you know that hip should do a little town tour, you know for the fans who live there. i know they would have alot of hip fans in small towns.

That is in the U.S. though. O.A.R. get 40 grand, they are unheard of in Canada, i would think the Hip would get at least 50 k in canada.
