The Final Hip tour and reminiscing about Gord Downie

[PostandIn]

Anyone have a sense for what they did for ID / ticket verification at the gate in Vic or Van?

[surferguy]

I'm curious of this as well. How did this process go as I might not arrive as the same time as my guests.

I walked up and gave them my ID and they handed me the tickets. Then I walked across the street to the bar for a drink and some food before heading back for the show. Gave 2 of the 4 tickets to mt friends who wanted to go in early and met them inside.

so you get a hard ticket after showing your card and id?

Yep. I didn't even have to show my card, just ID, but we're also talking an arena that's half the size of the Saddledome so that may have had something to do with it.

Thanks, got one.

Wife and I are going Aug. 1! Should be an amazing show.

[neo45]

Ya now that it is obvious the 1st and 3rd are going to be completely different shows I can justify getting tickets to both!

[nickerjones]

I thought you guys would appreciate this. We do hockey tourneys all over. We have one in Vancouver this weekend. Every tournament has a theme and players get to keep the uniforms that go with the theme. All of us are huge TH fans. Apparently TSN liked our theme too.

I'm going to get some for the second show as well- did you go Stubhub?

[surferguy]

Bought through TM

[neo45]

How does the credit card verification thing work for tickets bought through stubhub? I'm looking and the prices are reasonable but I'm not sure how it would work

Lots of tickets don't require the credit card verification. I believe that was only for some of the fan club pre-sale tickets. I have paper tickets for the Aug 3 show.

[socalwingfan]

^ I bought a single ticket off of TM yesterday and it requires credit card verfication - definitely not a pre-sale ticket - maybe because I am out of country???

[Coys1882]

I was able to print the tickets I bought off stubhub. If it requires credit card authorization - I'm screwed because the sellers name is on the tickets....
