Never mind...the web page lies...though there might be rooms in Gananoque which is 30 km away

I guess I kind of see going all the way to the maritimes when they're biggest venue is a small hockey arena in Halifax doesn't make sense, but the lack of Quebec seems odd.
Although, it definitely makes me proud as a westerner as I know we've always been huge hip fans out here and four shows in Alberta on a small farewell tour is pretty awesome!

I think you're really underestimating how difficult it is to move a modern stadium rock concert. Not to mention the toll of travelling on the acts themselves.

Are there still tickets available when they go on sale to general public Friday? Could not get Vancouver tickets this morning due to Ticketmaster weirdness and me being on the golf course. Also, is the showing of ID/credit card thing happening? In that case are all the stub hub tickets useless?

Vancouver announced another show. The pre-sale tickets for that go on sale tomorrow at 10:00AM. But yes, they are likely to release more tickets at the general sale date too.

Was able to snag two based off my club seats for the second show. Was gonna use them for any upcoming donations I may have, but if somebody who didn't get any wants to buy them I could sell them to you

Just got free enough to check vrbo and airbnb. All gone. Secured a place in Ganonoque. Many thanks for the suggestions. Even if I can't make it back to Ganonoque after the show and slept on a waterfront park bench in August, it'll be worth it.

No trouble getting tickets this morning here, either. Picked up four in the second bowl, and found three other pairs afterward while browsing for curiosity.

Finally got 4 to Rexall on July 30. There was nothing, then all of a sudden plenty available at about 10:15.
