Tour Date - BC in October - yay!

Postby Triple S » Sun Jul 06, 2008 7:56 am

OMG how did I miss this? (probably because I never visit the official site :wink: )

Shows scheduled for BC Oct 10 & 11 - I guess they are allowed into Canada after all! This is definitely do-able for us, about a 4-5 hour drive, on a weekend - again, yay! Finally!!! Doesn't look like tickets are available yet but prices for other shows look reasonable (it's a casino). We are so there!!!

A Calgary date would be nice, I'd much rather make the trip there than to Coquitlam (I'd have lots of accomodation choices in Calgary :wink: ). Not complaining - this is the closest they've been to where I am in - like, forever!

If they don't have a show right here, I might be going to the saturday BC one. A friend from Victoria wants to go and I told her I might/possibly/maybe/not-for-sure come down. :lol:

Hmm you may not want Journey to come to Calgary (Or Edmonton) if the promoter for the BC show is the same for the Alberta ones.

Styx played a show at that venue in BC this past March, and when they booked Calgary and Edmonton, they played in smaller clubs (both shows packed - more $$$ for them I guess) so lets hope that if they do decide to book Alberta way, they play somewhere else in Calgay.

I am unfamiliar with the Calgary venues, but there are at least 4-5 places in Edmonton for them to play:

Shaw Conference
Edmonton Events Center (Formally Reds)
The Venue - River Cree Resort and Casino
Agricom
Jubillee Auditorium
Winspear Center

All of these venues are between 1000-6000 seaters.

Hell, if they decided to tour wiht Heart and Cheap Trick, I'm sure they could even play Rexall's Concert Bowl (7000 or so)!

Awesome! - hope you can make it. I'll probably do the Saturday show also. Unfortunately (I guess :wink: ) my husband can't go - he's waiting for a back surgery date which will likely be in the fall so we don't want to take a chance and buy him a ticket if he can't go :( . Too bad - he really loves Heart. But I think I've convinced a couple of co-workers to join me.

Crap - looks like they've taken Coquitlam off the schedule. Sounds like they're trying for a bigger venue though (GM Place maybe?)

I don't even think the album even charted in Canada.. I know wal mart still has it in their top 20, but I don't even think its sold 20 000 copies here.

Anyone have Cdn soundscan numbers?

Prospera Place (Kelowna) maybe??? Not sure they'd fill the Saddledome or GM Place. Geez - that Coquitlam place only seats 1100 or something lke that - thought it was kinda small - no wonder they bailed.

We have a few mid-size venues too. I think you're right though, Saddledome and GM are definitely to big. I think they'd play Calgary or Vancouver before Kelowna. Wow a thread of Western Canadians....cool! :)

I don't know - Kelowna's had some pretty big acts in recent times. Heck - Alice Cooper even played here in Salmon Arm (OK yanks, proceed with the jokes about the name of my town :lol: ) a couple of years ago.


Hey, my daughter's houseboating out your way there this week. :)

Lucky girl! Funny how I could afford to do that when I lived in Alberta - now that I live here - no way!
