I am so pumped! Finally I have a weird ticket story to share with everyone! We were in line for the Hip show in TO on the 22nd. Get this the guy right behind is in a line of about 100 or so gets his wristband picked!
We are all like OH SHIT! No tickets for us. So we thought we'd try to get decent tix at Copps Coliseum. You know nosebleeds or something. The 22nd sld out and we heard Copps was going to sell out in about 3 or 5 minutes. We still had at least 50 people in fron of us. We weren't even in the store yet.
We get in the store, over the PA. "SUNRISE RECORDS WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THE DATE OF A 2ND HIP SHOW SLATED FOR FEBRUARY 23 AT THE AIR CANADA CENTRE IN TORONTO." We were so pumped anyway we ended up getting good lower level seats and awesome upper level seats (we needed 12 tickets).
It was quite a rush. Can't wait till OLP tours next time! They are gonna sell-out the Air Canada Centre even faster!
