Tears for Fears!

Tears for Fears is coming to our casino circuit this summer.  I'm a little sad that it's the casino and not some downtown venue like Lee's Palace or Massey Hall, but hey, if it worked for the Stone Temple Pilots (and they think they'll get that many people showing up) then it works for me.

I'm so excited.  I think my favourite song of theirs is "Head Over Heels".  It was a cute video too.  I'm glad they're still performing together, because wasn't there only one of them still under that band name after a while?

Spontaneous Concert Ticket Purchases

Wow, I just bought tickets to see the Cult at Massey Hall. Wasn't even planning it, I just got an alert from Ticketmaster that they are coming in September. Of course I got shafted on the price, but that complain has been addressed in my Pearl Jam post.

Anyhow, I'm glad to be seeing the Cult again. It was an awesome show last time, and this one should be good too. Massey Hall is a relatively intimate indoor venue, compared to the Molson Amphitheatre, and it's a beautiful old place, so it will be fun.

Pearl Jam Pre-Sale

So the Jam (no, not the "Town Called Malice" Jam) are coming to the Molson Amphitheatre on the 21st of August.

This morning my on-and-off again favourite radio station is holding a pre-sale at 10:00. I hope I can get some tickets then, but my boss is in the office today, and there's a global conference call at the same time he wants us to sit in on. I'm sure he'll understand if I'm five minutes late on the call though, since the first 5 minutes usually consist of people still checking in, and a roll-call.

I REALLY hope I can get these tickets today. I love the band, and I love the venue. It's a covered outdoor band-stand that's on a little chunk of land that sticks out into Lake Ontario, and I loved it when I saw The Cult there a few years ago. If I can't get tickets today, I'll probably have to settle for lawns later, and I think that would suck if it rained.

UPDATE: I got the tickets, but it took a few tries. Plus, when I got through, my Ticketmaster account didn't have my new credit card number on it, so I had to go do it all over again so I could add it. On top of that, I ended up with the cheaper ones, so they're probably lawns like I guessed, but they certainly didn't end up being cheap! Where does one get off charging $113.00 for two $39.50 tickets?

Stone Temple Pilots @ Casino Rama

Yay! I got free tickets to see the Stone Temple Pilots at Casino Rama in July! Can't wait!

Now here's hoping the show doesn't get cancelled because they broke up again, or Scott is too drunk to go on.
