Upcoming Concerts

[Save Us Sutter]

Pearl Jam and QOTSA announcements on the same day?

I'd say that more than makes up for crappy-ass X-fest.

EDIT: @ jar_e Ticketmaster lists tickets at $81

[aaronck]

X92.9 presents Queens Of The Stone Age August 2nd at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium where the band will be celebrating the remastered reissue of their 1998 self titled debut album by playing it in its entirety, plus b-sides and more hits!

[Hesla]

How much were tickets?

$81 + fees I think.

I really can't see any band that I don't like on this lineup.

With that being said, probably Uproar won't come to Calgary this year because of that.

[MickMcGeough]

Are there rules against sharing presale passwords here?

[Save Us Sutter]

I've shared a few over the years and never been reprimanded. I don't see why it would be a problem.

For example, the QOTSA presale starts Thursday at 10am and the password is "bronze".

[flameswin]

Are there rules against sharing presale passwords here?

Nope, especially if it's for Pearljam.

A place where all the metal posers will be? Talk about feminine hygiene product overload.

[malcolmk14]

I'll probably see Queens of the Stone Age, never seen them before!

Saw Pearl Jam in '09 and they were awesome.

[Lucifer]

Amon Amarth on August 6th at MacEwan Hall.

They'll be playing two different sets. The first being all the songs off "Surtur Rising", and the second being all the classics. I'll be there!

[Berger_4_]

Bangers rejoice!!! Kiss is playing in the Mac! Dunno when it is, but Z FM in Red Deer is promoting it.

[malcolmk14]

Crap available in the Queens of the Stone Age presale.

Best seats I found were first balcony Row M, which is near the back.

I'll wait until the main sale I guess.

I got floors, row O..dunno how good that is, been a long time since I've been to the Jube

[Save Us Sutter]

I got some in the Main Floor Left Terrace. Last time I was at the Jube was for Cheech and Chong and we were way at the back of the top level and still had a great view.

Be careful about waiting for tomorrow. I did that for the Black Keys in an attempt to get better seats and it sold out too fast. Now I have to go to freakin' Edmonton to see them.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

I got floors, row O..dunno how good that is, been a long time since I've been to the Jube

O is row 15 or 20 I believe.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Presales usually suck because it is usually evil ticketmaster which alots a certain amount and section of tickets available.

You'll find better tix avail tomorrow at 10am.

[MickMcGeough]

I really, really hate ticketmaster.

Starting searching at 10:00am sharp. Apparently already sold out of pairs.

Kept searching, soon I was getting some 2nd balcony seats pop up. Kept searching.

After another 5 minutes or so, started getting 1st balcony seats. Still not happy.

After another 10 minutes they decided to open up the floor. Searched there for 10 minutes, never got past row M.

They open up specific rows at different times. I was checking in two browsers and they'd consistently get pairs that were in the same row!

I'll be taking a pass on it this year. Which probably isnt a bad thing since I need to save money to go back to school.

[Save Us Sutter]

Yeah at first I got a couple in the 2nd balcony. When I tried to buy them it timed out and then started telling me it was sold out.

10 minutes later out of pure desperation I checked again and got the two on the floor. Very strange way to do things.

I still find presales to be the best way to guarantee you're getting in the building for a show that is going to sell out. The regular on sale dates are even more of a shinguard-show due to the increased volume of people on the site.

You might get lucky tomorrow morning, but considering the consequences if you don't.... (ebay) I'll take my Row M or whatever it is I got. The jube isn't a big venue, it's not like you're not going to be able to see.


edit.........and there are pit tickets coming up now. I hate you ticketmaster.

You seem to know the jube better than I... what is your take on the following:

I got 2 tickets for row D on the first balcony today. Obviously this is near the front of the first balcony so they can't be too bad... but I'm debating trying again tomorrow to try and get floor tickets... and I'm guessing I'll find some most likely around the middle... row M or so. Do you think the front rows of the first balcony are better than the middle to back end of the floor? Should I stick with what I have or can I improve by getting floor tickets?

[MickMcGeough]

Ugh. Into row K floor. Better, but I still hate TM.

[3thirty]

ive had everything ranging form row k on the floor to rows A in the balconies to being sold out

I would keep the Row D tickets on the first balcony. Those are pretty good.

I went back on Ticketmaster after reading the comments here and got Row K in the Right Terrace of the floor.

http://www.jubileeauditorium.com/southern/pdf/SeatingLayout_Rev06.pdf here's the seating chart for anyone curious about where their seats are.

I usually sit floor but sat row 1 balcony for Alice Cooper not too long ago.

It is a great view, not too far away. Acoustics seemed really quality.

Jube is a great venue. I'd say front of balcony is about equal or better to middle of floor.

[sclitheroe]

Just found out mine are the first two seats on the inside edge of the left terrace...look to be great seats :)

[aaronck]

awful presale. Hope tomorrow is better

[HOOT]

Presale is such a joke. I have gotten better tickets everytime buying them during the public sale compared to presale. The funny thing is you go on Stubhub right after the tickets go on presale and they just happen to have all top quality ones. Even for the presales that allow you to only pick up at the will call the day of the concert, Stubhub will have hard tickets they can send out. What a joke of a system!

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Even though I like the Jube it sucks because with a seated floor there won't be any more opportunities to find tickets after the main sale tomorrow like there will be with the Black Keys having a GA floor.

[malcolmk14]

When do Pearl Jam tickets go on sale?

[3thirty]

end of next week for pearl jam I believe

[Save Us Sutter]

I'd keep those balcony seats as well, not as many people standing in front of you as compared to row 10-15 on the floor.

And HOOT, I'm pretty sure those tickets on stubhub are sold by scalping companies that sell you a ticket in a particular section, then go out and find that ticket for you. They don't actually have them ready to go. There are companies on ebay who do this as well. There were issues during the olympics where people bought from these companies and then they couldn't deliver with the tickets.

It's my view that you can try to luck out on the actual on sale date or you can play it safe and buy what the presale offers you. For a show like this with no GA section, not really a bad seat in the house and a near guarantee sell out, I'll take the safe bet.

Pearl Jam tickets are on sale next Friday at 10am.

It does depend on the venue/artist playing I guess. I think the ones that bother me are the ones where you have to pay for pre-sale just to get the worse seats in the house just so you can be guaranteed to go. I had some buddies who paid $50 for a 'fan club membership' to get presale tickets and by the time it was all said and done he paid the same as everyone else but his seats where almost behind the stage and could barely see the front of the stage.

You would just think that the loyal fans who pay extra to get tickets would get a better selection then what's left over.

[MonsieurFish]

Now is the primetime to buy seats... I just got row A on main floor.

edit: for QOTSA

LC on the aisle right up close.

Nice!

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Since when did they introduce the map so you can see what seats are available? That is awesome!

[MickMcGeough]

Two orchestra pit seats, woot!

I love that map, I've seen it a few times. Too bad they don't keep that active all the time.

[MickMcGeough]

Still plenty of pit seats available in there too.

[malcolmk14]

Haha. You've gotta be kidding me. Went back on and got two orchestra pit seats in row CCC. Retarded.

If anyone wants two in Right Terrace Row K let me know.

[Save Us Sutter]

So pissed. Don't have enough on this stupid prepaid credit card to buy two more.

Screw you ticketmaster.

[3thirty]

that is typical ticketmaster BS

[Ron Duguay's Hair]

Haha. You've gotta be kidding me. Went back on and got two orchestra pit seats in row CCC. Retarded.

If anyone wants two in Right Terrace Row K let me know.

I would. Are they together and how much?

[gottabekd]

Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on the QOTSA tickets/presale info in this thread. Grabbed some row 5 beauties.

I'm disappointed in either this thread, or myself. I almost missed the fact that Jimmy Eat World is here Tuesday by using this thread as my single source of concert information. Either that or I read bad. I'm going to wait a while to search the thread to let the suspense build.

[3thirty]

anyone get anything better today? Best I found was a pair of floor G seats for QOTSA

[MonsieurFish]

If anyone is interested, I have 2 tickets to QOTSA for sale. First balcony, row D, section RC1, seats 155-156. Right next to the aisle if I remember correctly.

I wondered about how this would be, having one whole album played in its entirety... I was giving their first album a couple attentive listens the last few days, and it's certainly good enough to stand on its own.

A great review here:
http://www.theartsdesk.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=3710%3Aqueens-of-the-stone-age-camden-roundhouse&Itemid=27

I wonder if the lads get bored playing the same set basically each night, or if they are really digging perfecting the album live.

[MickMcGeough]

Are there any public Pearl Jam presales? As in, not having to be a member of the Ten Club before the show was announced?

Blink 182 w/ Rancid, Against Me - August 28 Scotiabank Saddledome, I think I read on their site tickets go on sale June 11 but not sure.

[Mass_nerder]

Wow, Against Me! has certainly come a long way from Plan-It-X.

[Save Us Sutter]

I was totally going to wait and only post the Pearl Jam code after I got my tickets tomorrow! I have a feeling it's going to be quite the hassle to try to get anything "good". LAX, you are obviously a better person than I.

Anyone seen Blink before? I dug their older stuff when I was in school and wouldn't mind seeing them for nostalgia sake.

Weezer, Jane's Addiction, Blink 182 and Rancid all in the same week? Grade 9 me would be trippin' balls over this!

[Save Us Sutter]

I wonder if the lads get bored playing the same set basically each night, or if they are really digging perfecting the album live.

A quote from Homme from about a week ago:

“I'm not gonna lie: I'm sick of doing the first record,” Homme told Zane Lowe. “I love the first record, but we've never played the same setlist before. But then were playing really deep cuts [after the album performance] because it just it feels like a special night. Were playing really small places.”

Also, in the aftermath of someone almost missing a Jimmy Eat World show, here's a few more concerts that have been announced without a lot of fanfare.

Hayes Carll - tonight @ The Republik
Sepultura - May 28 @ MacEwan
Andrew WK - May 29 @ Republik
Sloan - June 1 @ Republik
Scratch (from The Roots) - June 11 @ Dickens
Paul Oakenfold - June 11 @ The Bank
Sled Island - June 22-25 full schedule here (http://sledisland.com/schedule.html)
Scientists of Sound - July 1 @ Dickens
Wolfgang Gartner - July 8 @ Flames Central
DJ Shadow - July 12 @ Flames Central

[Kryzsky]

I'm a huge Kyuss fan and was really excited when Queen's first album came out, drove to Vancouver in '98 just to see them. Starfish Room, small venue, got to stand directly in front of Josh all night and practically have conversations with him between songs.

Still love the first 2 albums but can't get motivated to scoop up tickets, I don't think I've really given Lullabies or Er Vulgaris proper listens.

I saw them when they came through Calgary two summers ago and enjoyed the show.

I might have to go to the upcoming show also, Against Me! would be cool to see.

Yeah, I was considering not sharing but oh well. I'll just do the refresh thing at 10:00 AM tomorrow morning and hope for some floor tickets.
I did just edit my original post though. People with access to google can go find it themselves now.

I can't believe they don't play the full remastered version. I would kill to hear Spiders and Vinegaroons live.

[hulkrogan]

Also, in the aftermath of someone almost missing a Jimmy Eat World show....

Luckily I made it ;)

They sounded dead on, but the set list wasn't exactly filled with my favorites. I guess that's to be expected when a band has 6 albums out. Still, a good time.

I thought it was cool they played something like Cautioners. Having that new girl on the keys was awesome as well. They are just such a tight band and sounded as good as they did the last time that I saw them at Flames Central.

X929 presale for Pearl Jam is PEARLJAMX929

[jar_e]

^^Oh...and first dibs on if anyone wants to unload good floor seats for PJ if they don't want them :p

[YYC in LAX]

It's reserved floor for Pearl Jam? Wow, that is WEAK as balls!

[3thirty]

anyone getting any tix?

[rd_aaron]

Brutal. For the PJ presale, I got in first try to get Sec 214 row 10.. not even close to the stage.. so I tried again and now there's none left?

[Drury18]

It's reserved floor for Pearl Jam? Wow, that is WEAK as balls!

It's not like you can really be active on the floor at one of their concerts. Might as well put seats there.

[jar_e]

Yeah I got 213 row 6 and am now coming up with nothing...I'll wait it out though. QOTSA was the same way and people got excellent seats in the first half an hour.

[rd_aaron]

Yeah I got 213 row 6 and am now coming up with nothing...I'll wait it out though. QOTSA was the same way and people got excellent seats in the first half an hour.

222 row 2 now. I'm guessing they only have 2nd level seating for the presale.

[3thirty]

i havnt been able to get any seats yet.

[rd_aaron]

Anyone have the CJAY presale? Maybe we'd have better luck there?

[malcolmk14]

Nothing yet for Pearl Jam.

30 tickets available already on Stubhub! LOL.

[jar_e]

It's reserved floor for Pearl Jam? Wow, that is WEAK as balls!

Considering their history with general admin, its no surprise they avoid it when they can.

[Igottago]

Yeah I just got Section 213 Row 4. I decided to grab them. Not sure about these pre-sales. Seems I usually have better luck getting good seats on regular sale day. Not too fussed though, got tickets. If I find better ones I might grab them and sell these off.

[MickMcGeough]

I got a set in section 117 (across the ice from the stage the long way) but it's obvious they haven't opened up anything good yet.

[malcolmk14]

There are singles available in the lower bowl for the presale but no pairs.

[MickMcGeough]

I love this part where I spent the next several hours refreshing TM searches as they slowly open up better seats. F YOU TM

[3thirty]

I still havn't even got a pair to come up with the x929 password...

[jar_e]

Looks like they just released a bunch more in the 215-223 sections...getting a lot of pairs in rows 1-4.

[3thirty]

are you guys using PEARLJAMX929 becuase I can't find any :( any help?

[jar_e]

Yup...just refreshing the hell out of it.

[YYC in LAX]

Can't get access to tickets...correct password, but no tickets seem to be available.

[3thirty]

210 row 3, not sure if i want them :(

[rd_aaron]

Can't get anything anymore. I guess I'll try tomorrow when they hopefully open up some better tickets.

[corporatejay]

How is it possible tickets are on Stubhub already? Are these legit?

[East Coast Flame]

I grabbed a solo in section 211, row 7. The first time I searched I got right across the ice in section 116 I believe but I let them go hoping for floor. Bummer.

[YYC in LAX]

How is it possible tickets are on Stubhub already? Are these legit?

Yes, they probably are. Stubhub is safe. Pearl Jam had a fan club presale a week or two ago, so some people are probably selling those.


I could only get tickets in the 200 section, so I'll try again later or first thing Friday when the sale is public.

[jar_e]

How is it possible tickets are on Stubhub already? Are these legit?

Pearl Jam Ten presales...they had a much better presale with access to floor seats. A lot of them were posted within 24-48 hours of that presale.

[jar_e]

^^and actually just updating Stubhub these last few hours, a lot of been added, presumingly from the x929/CJAY presales, so they're as safe as buying anyother stub hub tickets.

[rd_aaron]

Just got section 210 row 10 which is beside the stage. I'll keep checking randomly during the day but I'm pretty sure I'm going to wait for tomorrow.

[jar_e]

Allegedly, no floor seats were released today, as the presale only was for the 200s and far away 100s. Tomorrow should be an equal cluster, but atleast a lot more options.

[hulkrogan]

I thought it was cool they played something like Cautioners. Having that new girl on the keys was awesome as well. They are just such a tight band and sounded as good as they did the last time that I saw them at Flames Central.

Yeah, she was really good. Some of the songs I thought there was no way they could sound the same live were totally dead on. No Anderson Mesa :(

Anybody else get banned from the site? I get a "Forbidden - You don't have access to / on this server".

I've had that before. If you mash "refresh" too many times it will ban for you 15 minutes or so.

Pairs still available in the 200s....and in other concert news...Foo Fighters expected to make an announcement in June that they'll be coming to Alberta.

[YYC in LAX]

Not sure how I missed this, Children of Bodom are playing Mac Hall on Thursday, June 30th. Tickets are ~$43 each after fees at Prime Box Office. Not for sale through Ticketmaster for some reason,

Just found section 211 row 17 but will try tomorrow.

As for the Foo Fighters... I figured they would be announcing soon. They put on a wicked wicked show and I am very excited to see them again.

[BurningYears]

Prime Box Office is another new "competitor" that the most of the shows at mac hall seem to be going through now. They have a bunch of the little venues too such as the republik etc.

there is no advantage really and actually I think its a dissadvantage because they seem to only have one location at mac hall to physically pick up the tickets.

I do prefer to check sloth/megatunes for tickets first though.

Any idea if this is the tour that includes Rise Against as the opener?

[MickMcGeough]

I've had that before. If you mash "refresh" too many times it will ban for you 15 minutes or so.
Or, considerably longer. I've been locked out for about 4 hours now.

Most of the eastern dates have them...they haven't announced the western dates yet...but its hard to say.

Coke stage, I'm assuming? The Trews always put on a good show.

[malcolmk14]

Sweet, I love The Trews. Seen them three times (once at the coke stage) and I'll definitely go back to see them again this year.

[Mass_nerder]

Hollerado was pretty good last year at Sled Island

I will be seeing The Dudes and Mother Mother (on the same day, you're kidding me!!!), Tokyo Police Club, Finger Eleven, and the Trews. Pretty decent line-up this year.

Cue the "omg what did they do, go for every B-list act available?" complaint, despite the fact that it's a free show at a venue that has proven it can't handle big name acts.

[TopChed]

Not happy to be missing Stampede this year! To me, The Trews are synonymous with the Coke stage. Always fun. Plus I'd like to see The Dudes and Tokyo Police Club again.

[The Goon]

Kevin Costner! That's...different.

[IgnitedSoul]

Wouldn't mind seeing Justin Nozuka, he's got some pretty decent stuff.

[YYC in LAX]

I passed on row 44 on the floor for Pearl Jam. I know I can do better. I bet they are saving some of the first 15 rows or so for a later date.

Now I'm in a loading screen waiting for tickets.

[Shasta Beast]

Bah first try came up empty. Second try tried to put me in the corner behind the stage!

And it's slow, damn you ticketmaster.

[jar_e]

Does anyone know how many rows there are for floor seating?

[GreenLantern]

I know where I'm going to be July 9th and 10th. :D

Man that is a solid back to back concert listing.

July 9th - The Dudes & Mother Mother (Seriously? Wow)
July 10th - Hollerado & Tokyo Police Club

The only show I would put above those four bands this year was Rural Alberta Advantage, otherwise all four bands were great and top of the list.

The Trews acoustic set was also great, and they will be there as well!

At least we got Tegan and Sara I guess.. lucky Calgary folks though.

[corporatejay]

I heard it was a great show last night (they always put on a great show), sad I missed it. I'll see them tonight in Edmonton though, so stoked. Hello Hurricane is an awesome album, after the 2 before it were meh, they really put another great one out. the next one sounds like it will be great too, I have heard some of the songs on youtube

[jar_e]

I said #### it and went with stubhub tickets instead for Pearl Jam. Ticketmaster just really pisses me off.

[rd_aaron]

I'm an idiot. Forgot about Pearl Jam this morning. Now I can't get tickets I want. I guess I'll wait and hope I can find something closer to the date.

[YYC in LAX]

I'm an idiot. Forgot about Pearl Jam this morning. Now I can't get tickets I want. I guess I'll wait and hope I can find something closer to the date.

Even if you remembered and started hitting refresh at 9:59, you probably wouldn't have got what you want. Ticketmaster was out of control this morning and hard to get anything on the floor or in the 100 section.

[Shasta Beast]

When do you think good tickets will be released? I've been trying on and off since 10 this morning but haven't found anything on the floor or lower bowl-sides.

[Igottago]

I think most of the good floor seats for Pearl Jam are reserved for the Ten Club (their fanclub) or media/contests. I used to have a TenClub membership and got hooked up with sweet tickets a couple times. This time I'm sitting in the 200's with the regular folk.

[MickMcGeough]

I got 4th row of the 200s on the blueline near the stage. All things considered, pretty happy with these (but I'm going to keep looking).

[corporatejay]

does it say access forbidden?


yup

[ricosuave]

The tenclub process was a complete gong show this time around. They ended up going to ticketmaster to handle their orders anyways, because of their broken servers, and the tickets ended up costing slightly more (like 0.50 a ticket, but still!), on top of fanclub costs. They even managed to mess up sending out the instructions for ordering from ticketmaster, and had to resend that with the codes they conveniently left out the first time.

Basically, it wasn't apparent, less than 30 minutes before the ordering, if you were gonna be able to get tickets or not.

Just atrocious customer service. I expect a band that's as corporate as the PJ machine has become to be a bit better at collecting money ;)

That being said, I had row 8 floors the last time they were in Calgary, so I guess there is some merit to it.

Hopefully the band retires soon so I can stop feeling conflicted about belonging to a freaking fan club in my mid-30's. I seriously don't need your goofy newsletters and crap.

[Save Us Sutter]

Got 30th row on the floor for PJ a few minutes after 10 this morning. Ticketmaster owed me after the QOTSA debacle.

[Drury18]

Been a damn good morning for announcements!

July 27th - Soundgarden @ Saddledome
October 9th - Rise Against w/ Flogging Molly @ Saddledome

I'm beyond excited for Rise Against and Flogging Molly.

Interesting...I wonder if the Queens will be opening for them, then coming back a few days later at the Jube. I saw Soundgarden at the Max Bell a loooooooooooong time ago, they were fantastic. I wonder if they've still got it.

QOTSA and Soundgarden would be epic.

Who'se drumming for Soundgarden these days? Is Matt Cameron pulling double duty with them and Pearl Jam this summer? If so, seems like a lot of work.

I heard that Meat Puppets were the opening act for the Calgary show.

Also, I'm hoping Ticketmaster has a misprint for pricing on the Rise Against show:

CA $139.49 - CA $159.49 (javascript:void(0);) CA $139.49 (CA $39.50 Ticket + CA $99.99 Fees)
CA $159.49 (CA $59.50 Ticket + CA $99.99 Fees)

CA $40.50 - CA $87.50 (javascript:void(0);) CA $40.50 (CA $29.50 Ticket + CA $11.00 Fees)
CA $87.50 (CA $75.00 Ticket + CA $12.50 Fees)

Definitely a misprint. Probably $9.50 fees so that would make tickets $49 and $69 for the Rise Against Show.

Hrmm can't find anything for Stoon, guess they are just doing a quick show, to bad would have liked to see them. But between X Fest and the Stampede not sure if the better half will let me get away for a third Calgary trip :p

Can't waste them all before hockey season even starts :D


Oh *@#@ ya Rise Against is coming to Stoon... so now for the next 4 months I have to cycle Pearl Jam, KoL and RA ... I can do this.

Which presale is this for? Fanclub? LiveNation? X929? Seems there are quite a few, with fan club tickets going on sale tomorrow.

Also, someone recommend me a Rise Against album to listen to. I could never get in to them but also haven't really tried that hard.

I always get them mixed up with Against Me!, whom I liked, until they released that piece of crap album recently.

Hoping for memories of 1994......crap I'm old

[Shasta Beast]

I like Soundgarden but $87.50 for general admission floor, lower bowl seats, and some 2nd level seats is too much. This is not the spirit of grunge.

Wasn't their bassist basically homeless until recently?

Sort of.

Homeless only in the literal sense of the word, not in the context that the word normally implies.

Ben hasn't been living on the streets of Seattle and panhandling for the last 10 years or something.

He just happened to not have a place to live when they decided to give this a go.

Age 43 and sleeping on couches...he's homeless.

When asked where he lived, Shepherd told Spin, "Nowhere. Literally. I've been sleeping on studio couches and at friends' houses. I'm totally broke."

He first found himself homeless following a breakup with his girlfriend earlier this year. Since then, he's been putting all of his money towards a solo album - which he isn't even sure if he'll release.

This is the culmination of more than a decade's worth of struggles for Shepherd. He also admitted that, in 1997, "Soundgarden broke up; my other band, Hater, broke up; my fiancée broke up with me; and then I broke three ribs. I got addicted to pain pills, drank a ton and wound up OD-ing on morphine. I was laid out in my house for five days and no one knew it. It was a ####ing horrible time - this total rock'n'roll cliché."

[GreenLantern]

Tickets for T&S Alberta shows go on sale tomorrow as VIP or Friday for regular.

The VIP includes a pre arranged meet and greet, I am guessing for charity, at the price of 150 dollars per ticket. Kind of a cool feature if anyone has some extra cash they were wanting to donate anyway!

Also I have a question.. I have never been to Stampede before, but I would like to try and get in for the 9th and 10th concerts.

What is this Coke stage and how does it function? Am I looking at a big parking lot set up with a concert at the end of it? I just pay for my stampede tickets then the concert is free? Is it get in at 2 PM because by the time the band gets on you wont be able to get a spot anywhere remotely close?

[3 Justin 3]

I know there aren't that many metal fans on here, but Children of Bodom are coming to Calgary June 30, with Devon Townsend.

$35+fees/ticket at MacHall

Having missed them the past 3 times they've come I will definitely be going this time. Not to mention their last 2 albums were pretty 'meh', but their new one is fantastic!

[3 Justin 3]

Holy fata, was just browsing Mac Hall and Amon Amarth are coming in August. The tour is called, "An Evening With Amon Amarth" and apparently they have no support, it is just them. They play their new album in its entirety, then a second set list right after of their old songs.

All for $30, this will be a must go as well.

Coke stage is on the Stampede Grounds. It just has a relatively big grass patch in front of it for people to stand. If you pay admission into Stampede ($14 or whatever it is) you can go watch the concert. You basically only have to show up like 45 minutes to an hour early if you're trying to get a really good spot.

I thought a Coke Stage was the Fleetwood Mac Rumors tour.

Too bad you can't time travel back 20 years and see them. Halford opened for Ozzy last year and was less than inspiring. The 1990 show I saw with Testament and Megadeth ranks in the top 5 for me for best shows I've seen.

So the Foo Fighters cost about the same as OLP? Wow. That might be the most ridiculous pricing of all time.

[malcolmk14]

I think Foo Fighters tickets came in around $71 after fees. I think the $56 for OLP is after fees as well.

[getbak]

So the Foo Fighters cost about the same as OLP? Wow. That might be the most ridiculous pricing of all time.
The regular Cowboys cover during Stampede will be $20 (http://www.cowboysniteclub.com/images/stampede1pgrAPR5.pdf), so you're really only paying $30 for the concert (plus $6.25 to Ticketmaster for making it exceedingly difficult to actual buy the tickets).

Well I got my Judas Priest tickets. There are still a ton available obviously, floor, section 100's and the 200's. I ended up going with the 200's as they are $62 rather than $82.

Concert is only half the dome too, not the full thing which surprises me as I thought Priest could for sure sell it out if Iron Maiden can.

Any way, if anyone wants tickets, the presale code is "voice".

Black Keys were great. Put on a really entertaining show, especially for a 2 man unit. Scalpers were selling floor tickets for double and triple face value. I can't believe this wasn't in the dome. They're playing Rexall tomorrow.

And the obligatory pics of my tour poster.

^^^ Wish I went. I only recently picked up Brothers and its one of the best albums I've heard in the last few years. Outstanding stuff.

[Hemi-Cuda]

Black Keys were awesome, just as good as when i saw them in Vancouver last year. i just wish they'd play more old stuff with just Dan and Patrick on guitar/drums, they really don't need the keyboard or bass. and Cecil as great of a show as they Keys put on, i'm not sure they're quite ready to sell out an arena the size of the Saddledome (Rexall place isn't sold out for the show tomorrow). plus they just fit a smaller venue better, watching them in the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver was fantastic

^^^ Wish I went. I only recently picked up Brothers and its one of the best albums I've heard in the last few years. Outstanding stuff.

make sure you pick up their older stuff (Thickfreakness, Rubber Factory, Magic Potion), it's much grittier and raw than the slick production on Brothers, and leaves you wondering how two guys can produce such a big sound

I've got some of their older stuff. Liked a lot of it but Brothers is another level of greatness in my opinion. I think the slick production serves them well. A near perfect album.

[Save Us Sutter]

Great, great, great show last night. Man, I could watch Patrick play drums all night and still go home happy.

Thought Cage the Elephant was a little blah though. Was disappointed as I like some of their songs.

[GreenLantern]

I thought Cage the Elephant put on a great show here in Saskatoon, but the lead singer is a tad creepy.

I went back and counted, since September I have seen over 30 shows including but not limited to such bands as.. Broken Social Scene, Rural Alberta Advantage, Tegan and Sara, Plants And Animals, Arkells, Tokyo Police Club, Jim Bryson, Shad, Mother Mother, Jezabels, Pixies etc.. etc.. and without a doubt Black Keys get concert of the year. Nobody comes even close, they come remotely close, but not close.

Just awesome.

[chalms04]

Made it home alive from Boonstock. Sneaking in in some of Maynard James Keenan's wine was a perfect way to end it.

couldn't stand cage the elephant, i wanted to punch the lead singer in the mouth. i was actually looking forward to hearing them too as the only song i had listened to was the Borderlands theme song. their other songs sounded nothing like that one though, my buddy and i thought that they were a completely different opening band until they finally played that one

[Save Us Sutter]

Yeah he reminded me of a really annoying Shannon Hoon.

Or some high school kid trying to come off as a tortured rock star.

Luckily The Keys were so awesome it didn't matter than he was lame. The only down side was my "The Black Keys are my Brothers" shirt was lost to the Elbow River on the weekend. If anyone's got an extra size Large, I'll buy it! hah

[Black Dog]

The Black Keys had the biggest disco ball I've ever seen. That alone was worth the $60.

Just got an e-mail about Matt Good. Presale starts tomorrow but no word on a password. X92.9 is putting it on so hopefully they send out an e-mail with the password before 10am tomorrow.

[Drury18]

Presale Password is either "Vancouver" or "Lights" from what I've heard.

[Save Us Sutter]

Live Nation presale password for Matt Good is "Lyrics"

This is also the password for Godsmack, if anyone was wondering.

Mr. Good on sale tmrw morning, Godsmack on Thursday.

Matthew Good was my Dad's favourite performer and we saw him together at least 6 or 7 times over the years. This will be the first time I've see him since Dad passed away in February... will be an very emotional night for my brother and I.

[Drury18]

There are also VIP Tickets available now for the Matthew Good tour: http://maplemusic.com/matthewgood/

Guaranteed seat in first 8 rows of center orchestra (you will not know your seat until 4 weeks prior to the show), post show meet and greet, limited edition lithograph and limited edition t-shirt. Single ticket is $119.

[rd_aaron]

I just got row G tickets for Matthew Good. Thought the price was reasonable at $57 for lower level seating but they also added on an extra $12.50 per ticket for fees (and it's not even Ticketmaster!). Oh well, I wanted to go regardless.

Best part though was that you had to register on the Epcor site to get the tickets, and they had a huge list of prefixes and suffixes for your name, so my tickets are going to show up in the mail as "Lord (First name) (Last name) Esq." haha.

[Black Dog]

Phew, getting tickets to the Matt Good show was a bit stressful. Presale password worked but it only showed I could purchase tickets in one of my browsers (I had it open in two), and then it wouldn't let me select a shipping method after going through the whole process to make an account!

To get around it I had to add a second address and then it would let me select.

Is there any way for consumers to fight ticket fees? They're ridiculous! 12.50 per ticket on a $57.63 ticket. I guess that's not bad as $9 on a $20 ticket from Prime Box Office.

#######s.

I refreshed at 10 AM and I was able to select the date that I wanted, but then it went to the next page and said tickets weren't available online. I ended up starting the process over again (clicked on the link in ticketmaster, typed in the presale password, and selected the date I wanted) and it worked that time.

When I look for tickets it says they aren't available online.

What date? I just looked at they are doing Center Orchestra Row C tickets now for both the 10th and 11th.

I'm going to wait for the General Release. I'm not a fan of where they are selling the single seats.

You're not a fan of 6th row centre?

Those are better than when I bought right at 10am this morning. I got row H. Kinda dumb they waited an hour to release the first 9 rows.

[Drury18]

I'm not a fan when I know that 1st Row Right/Left Orchestra and Mezzanine are still open. And the Mezz 1st row at Jack Singer is almost better then first couple of rows in the center since you aren't looking up to see the stage all night.

The tickets I was getting in Row C where actually seat 15 and I've already done the aisle in about the same place. Between people getting up to use the bathroom and overzealous security busting people for pictures, I think I saw 1/2 of the show.

[GreenLantern]

Any chance Mat Good plays some of the band stuff, or just his solo stuff?

I have never seen him live alone... I like his solo stuff but I much prefer the band days, circa 1990's...

[Save Us Sutter]

Every time I've seen him since he went solo he has played some of the older "hits". I can't say for sure he does it at every show, but that's a sample size of at least 5 concerts in 3 different cities!

I've been to a dozen shows in the last 10+ years and usually Everything Is Automatic or Apparitions is a given. Hello Time Bomb and Load Me Up is pretty common to. Outside of that, it's really hit and miss. His tours in 2003-2005 he played a good amount of stuff off of Audio of Being but since then it's really rare to hear anything off that album. I've never heard a song off Last of the Ghetto Astronauts live in all the years I've been going to see him. Which really, would it kill him to play Symbolistic White Walls?

Hopefully the X Pre-buy is a little better then the one today.

It won't sellout, plus Three Days Grace, Seether and Sevendust are good bands.

I don't know what happened to Avenged Sevenfold. Remeber when they sounded like this?

I-QaFWURsMU

I wasn't a huge fan of the screaming, but the music was great back then.

[3 Justin 3]

I never listened to Avenged Sevenfold. I listened to your song and had to stop at :38. I don't mind Three Days Grace and the odd Seether song, but they are in no way good bands IMO.

I know this hard rock stuff goes over well with people, but I can't stand it. They all just rip each other off. Personally I listen to really heavy stuff these days, but I still don't mind putting on Disturbed every once and while. About the only Hard Rock band I'll listen to.

[Drury18]

Seems like my patience paid off. I called up Epcor this morning and I have seats in Row AA of the Right Orchestra for both Matthew Good Shows.

MacHall has much better sound than the dome, and the ballroom, imo, is the best rock venue in the city. I'm much rather be 20-40' from the band and be able to hear everything than pay twice as much to be 150-200' away and have terrible sound.

I always considered that one of the perks of having good taste in music.

That's true. I was about 8' from a guitarist/bassist for all 4 bands when I went to see Bodom. That was a sweet show. I was deaf in my left ear for 2 days though!

U2 has always been one of those bands that I don't mind, but I don't get overly passionate about. That being said, I had some good, last-minute tickets to the Elevation tour many moons ago, and they certainly know how to put on a good show. One of the better "big" shows I have been to.

So you would agree with Mike Bell's review in the herald?

[gottabekd]

http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/Review+Soundgarden+plods+from+past/5171077/story.html?cid=megadrop_story

Sigh. So, this is where we are, this is the position those of us who lived through it, who loved it, who came of age in it are put in.


We're supposed to, with straight face, little sense of self-awareness, and pockets open, be excited for an endless, big-ticket parade of '90s bands that have offered contemporary music nothing of late, save for their legacies. Soundgarden, Jane's Addiction, Pearl Jam - and here we are.

Well, obviously he wrote that before the show. He was preparing for a negative review.

So, I may be biased, but I don't trust a journalist that writes things like (with my emphasis):

Well, if putting on perhaps one of the most ponderously generic rock shows - alt, grunge, pop, classic, dance, Wiggles, etc. - you could ever wish to waste your money on was the goal, then, win!
...
As for a show, good God, that wasn't even part of the equation....
An hour in, it was way, way too long. Seriously....




No, there wasn't a lot of spectacle. No fancy light shows, lasers, confetti. I was okay with that. I'll grant that there wasn't a lot of energy -- on the stage or in the crowd (besides the moshers). But it sounded fantastic. Some songs sounded better than their album counterparts. And that's why I go to a rock show, for the music.

When he says they haven't offered anything of late, couldn't the same be said about the eagles, the rolling stones etc... They have been living off of their legacies for 40 years.

They did, and I thought the show was solid, but music reviewers get reactions from negative reviews so not surprised by Bell's column.

[habernac]

hahahahaha, Mike Bell is such a blowhard.

Not everyone has to run around on stage like a jackass to put on a great show. Cornell's voice was great, the instruments were kicking. Maybe he needs to get off the side of the arena and get to the floor where there's a little more action.
