Clumsy/Spiritual Machines Tour

Trusty:

I have been checking the tickets for the SM show in Regina, and only the first 2 rows are sold. Considering there are about 50 rows, that's not great.

What happens if only 200 tickets are sold? Is the show cancelled? Or will they move to a smaller venue, perhaps?

nope - you get to see the bestest most intimate olp show ever!!!

RileyLewis · Post by **RileyLewis** » 2/25/2010, 5:05 pm

That sir, is the answer I wanted to hear. I will be there no matter what, front row for SM!

The only problem is I also have a ticket for like, the 11th row (which was purchased in the pre-order tickets). I have a feeling that the show will not sell up to that row. I can't return the ticket (because admission.com and ticketmaster and their ilk never allow returns), but how can I sell it if there are still 3rd row seats available?

It sucks. I was thinking of just giving it to Shanae here on the forum, since she wants to go so badly to it. Hopefully she could just move up to the last row rather than sit by herself in the middle of empty ones, lol.

well dont count the sales yet - lots of times these things fill up a few weeks/days before the actual date.

regina is still a LONG way out - but if by chance you have ticks for the 20th row and only 10 rows sell - i don't really see a prob in moving up to the 11th row ya know? Dont quote me on that, but that would be kinda lame if it were the case.

although it would be really funny to see someone sitting all alone way the hell back hehehe

You kind, kind soul... I wonder if, "Hey Ma, I got a free ticket for an OLP Regina show" should do anything for her...

It's not that. It's that my parents are anti-concert, and Regina is a long ways away.

I'm also worried about the ticket situation in Regina. There's been next to no movement in the ticket sales from what I've been watching. And I also have tickets much further back than the second row, because I was stupid and bought pre-sale. I would go and buy closer tickets now...but there's no one that will buy what I have.

I'm worried about this show. Very much so

. The venue is very large, and it'll be odd if only the first three or four rows are filled. I honestly would like to see a venue change - it would be amazing to see that show in one of the smaller, more intimate clubs here. But....as long as the show doesn't get cancelled, then I won't complain. It might not be the best selling show ever, but at least it'll still go on!

I think Clumsy has sold pretty well. The main floor is 3/4 sold, and the first balcony is mostly filled too, I think, along with the first rows in the other 2 balconies. It's the SM show I am more worried about. And yes Trusty, it would be very funny to see some lone person sitting rows back by themselves, with ushers keeping them there, haha!

Shanae, I thought you lived in Regina? I guess I was wrong. Anyway, if you want the ticket, it is yours. It's in row E, seat 12. Although I guess it's really for whatever row is available if it doesn't sell that far back.

Hey Trusty,

How many copies of Clumsy and SM did you guys end up pressing for the merch stand? is it a limited run? Gatefold covers? Fill us in!

Trustworthy · Post by **Trustworthy** » 2/26/2010, 12:16 pm

Dont worry we got ya covered

I suggest everyone give blood, put in some extra hours at work, sell a kidney, rob an old lady* etc before the show , because there is gonna be a lot of cool stuff to take home with ya

*please dont rob any old ladies, that's not very nice

Think of this as an opportunity -- if only 1/4 of the tickets sell there are going to be some excellent audio taping positions back in the center. Just try to look inconspicuous. :lol:

I just looked up a video. He did.

Steve takes another guitar solo in the outro, and Raine steps back up to the mic for it. Very awesome.

Negative. My location will remain a secret... well, a kind-of secret. *Mysterious laugh.*

Small towns in the middle of nowhere, woo!

The guitar solo isn't always done -- but I think the added vocals are (at regular shows anyway).

Hopefully that means our mr. trusty friend will have some footage for us the next time he's online. Damn I'd kill to see some!
