    Thinking this may be a show I make, right now planning on Pitt, Darian, and weekend in Colorado. This falls right in the middle so make a day trip of it!

    Stoked. Can't wait. Based on my luck with ticketbastard over the last 7 or 8 attempts, I will likely be trolling the boards looking for extra tickets.

    So I may end up bringing my kid. What's the lawn like at the venue? Decent sound/sight lines? Is it a total shit show like some other venues?

    I was looking at photos on google. Seems like a quite a large amphitheater. How are the acoustics? It is right off the water correct?

    yep right off the QEW, on a peninsula jutting out into Lake Ontario.

    I can't believe the premier concert venue in Canada is named after frigging Budweiser of all things! Should be the “Labatt Blue Stage”.

    Venue is right on the water. Nice mid sized venue with decent sitelines and good acoustics.
    Reserved tickets for some reason only $95 USD for this show compared to $115 for shows in USA, plus your US dollars will go 25% further at current exchange rate.....and the show will be taking place 10 days after weed is scheduled to become legal in Canada,......a country built on diversity and tolerance.

    Just put in my requests for pit. I've never been to this venue and it's on the way to SPAC for me so I figured I might as well go. Have never been to Toronto either so I'm excited to check out the city!

    Went for a single. Pulled 202 row D on the app and it booted me before it completed the purchase. Was still searching on desktop and managed a GA floor about 5 mins into the sale. Otherwise, it was all in the 400s.

    I feel like it's getting harder and harder to pull decent stuff on TM.

    They start lining up mid day. Though usually not very many in line before 4pm or so. Its a large pit with lots of room and its Canada ie polite and civil (usually)!

    Looking forward to my first Canadian show!! It’ll be my 62nd overall. I do have one problem I have a 9.5 year old DUI that could cause entry issue at border. I’ve been trying to take care of paperwork with Canadian government but don’t think it’s gonna process in time. My understanding is it’s up to the border agent. It’s the only thing on my record so hopefully they let me in. I’ve got pit and it’s my wife and i’s 14th wedding anniversary!!!

    yeah I believe they’re still letting WH Pits in about a half hour early this summer. Usually there’s a dedicated line at the gates for WH ticketholders.
