Managed to get a pair for my wife and I during the pre-sale. Section 324, row 12, way up in the lonely end of the rink. I've never sat so far from the stage for a Hip show, but I'm happy I'll be there.

Realized last week that the farthest I've been at a non GA show is 6th row. Now I'm lucky for nosebleeds.

Hey Folks,
Funny story. My buddy calls me up weeks ago and says he scored me 2 tickets for the Toronto show on the 14th. I'm all pumped, book a hotel for the sunday night, get tickets for the jays afternoon game, book monday off work due to forecasted hangover. He just called me tonight to inform me that the tickets are in fact for the show on the 12th, not the 14th.

soooooo.

I've got a room booked at the Cambridge suites that I can no longer use. 1 minute walk to the ACC. Wondering if there is any basers who could possible make use of it? Its worth $280 a night, however I booked it on points, so I would be willing to offload it for a song. Let me know if anyone is interested, and what hip song you are willing to pay for it!

If anyone has tickets for sale for Sunday in TO, I would buy Upto 4. Bit of a Hail Mary, but what the hell.....

my best secret for downtown parking is here:

Image

on york just north of wellington. drive up york from lakeshore or front to just past wellington, on the right.
Only $10 for the whole night. can't beat that for underground. It's never very busy either. Not sure why that is.
I've been parking there for years. It's only a three block walk down to union.

Shhh. That's where I park.
Underground, cheap and a covered walkway all the way to the inside of ACC.

My garage might be on Harbour. It is underground and uou come up through I think the Real Sports building and then the sky bridge to ACC.

I'm a big fan of the green P lot in the flatiron behind the Sony Centre. $6, five-minute walk to the ACC, easy exit to the Gardiner/Lakeshore.

Going to make the last minute trip from Kingston if I can find a decent single.

I would be filming the shows with two samsung gear 360 cameras. They are brand new and take incredible immersive HD photo/video:

But don't just take the manufacturers word for it, here is a snip from a Sloan concert I shot in June:

^ Make sure you watch in HD

Also: If you or anyone you know with amazing tickets wants to film any ontario shows using this cam, let me know.
