Title: Good news!!
Post by Shannon on Jul 27^th, 2006, 11:57pm

From the IM board ....

We are currently finalizing arrangements for the next round of pre-sales. �

Like before, only members will be able to purchase pre-sales tickets via a link from the IM site. �

Unlike before, you will know the section and seats you will be purchasing. �You will also be mailed your tickets - no will call pick up.

Sorry for this first round; �a lot of people did get fantastic seats, and we're happy you did - but a number of you did not, and we are sorry for that. �I expect there will still be issues the next time around - it's the nature of the beast - but the above two items should solve 90% of the problems.

Goo Staff

____________________________________________

Hey goo staff, quick question....will they be co-headlining again, or are they gonna be solo with an opening act?
It will be a headlining tour of Canada and N. America

Will the seats be better? �We're always at the mercy of the venues for that, we get the best we can. �But you'll know prior to purchase where the seat is. �Here is a list of things we asked for and know:

- You will have access to their seat locations before you decide to purchase tickets. �
- They �will make sure the tickets provided are the best possible locations.
- They will make sure people have their tickets in their hands several weeks before the concert.
- They have multiple warning systems in place to check for errors. �
- They pride themselves on their customer service.
- They will make sure the proper message is uploaded for GA shows. �They can offer early admission to IM members for GA shows so they can get in and grab the best spots before anyone else.

I think that is great news, I was very happy when goo staff announced the changes for the next round of pre-sales and then the headlining tour to be announced soon (I just hope that I can make it to one of those shows).

They usually only make their way to Michigan once per leg of the tour and I usually can't make the trek to Ohio. So being so close to the Ontario border I have many options with the Canadian tour ... woo hoo!

I think they should be more careful. Like we need to offend more countries by just claiming a continent's name...

As for Ontario, the Goos have played Mississauga before, but that's basically Toronto. London or Kitchener could happen or Hamilton. (I don't know why I'm thinking about this. Didn't I just say I wasn't going to Canada for the next concert? ::) )

You're thinking about it because they're HEADLINING! .... sorry I'm still so excited I can't contain myself.

Hey Triest,

If you go to the IM it says they go on sale 7/28. Now I don't know if that's a presale or regular sale. I'm not sure how the UK shows are working as far as presales go.

Not everyone getting good seats refers to those of us in the States lately who've had problems with the IM tickets. Some had really good and some had really BAD seats. As far as I know many of the UK shows will be general admission. Now what they've been doing here lately is letting the IM members in earlier than everyone else for GA shows. So maybe that's how they'll work it for the UK too. But I'm not positive. If I hear anything definitive I'll post it.

there are no pre-sales for the UK shows.

Kitchener would be ideal for me, because I live 5 min from the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium!!! And that's really the only venue in Kitchener they could play. I mean, if Bryan Adams, INXS, Rob Thomas and all sorts of other bands play there.. it would be ideal for Goo, too!!

This is soooo exciting!!! ;D

So do we know when they will be announcing dates/ticket sales?? I'm not a member of IM, so I have to go through ticketmaster.. no pre-sales for me :'( If anyone has word.. post ASAP!!!

I'm not savvy with music terms. Headlining...ok that means they will be the last band to play right? Are they still gonna be with CC though?

No, they won't be with CC. My guess is that they will have a "no name" opening act and then the Goo's will do a full set afterwards!! WOOHOO!!! Can't wait!!!! :D

I sooo can't wait for a headlining tour!! Maybe this time the good tickets won't cost almost $100 too....that will definately help the cause.
