:O Matt I'm going to PJ there too - maybe we can meet up and say hi
But I'll be in Vegas by the time OLP get there
I've not been to the Commodore, but I was meant to see the Pixies there last year and looking at their website it looked very nice

The Commodore's a really nice venue. I saw The Tea Party and Weezer there last year, both great shows.
I'm hoping that they have some sort of OLP pre-sale. It'll be tough to get tickets to this show (There's no way the Commodore can hold up to a 1000 people, I'm guessing capacity's about 700-800 people max.)
Should be a great show.

the commodore is absolutely gorgeous. i've been there a few times when my friend worked there. acoustics are usually pretty damn great, and it is kinda smallish. it'll be totally awesome.
*goes off to cry some more*

Thanks all for the info...gonna be a tough ticket I am sure! I've seen OLP plenty of times in small places in the States...but this small of a place in Canada will be completely awesome! Saw them at the Musique Plus show in Montreal, but that was made for TV...this show, should ticketmaster allow me to get a ticket will rock my socks off I am sure! hahaha
And Soozy, very cool you'll be at PJ too! I am not sure what time my friend and I are getting into Vancouver...seeing them the night before at the Gorge down here...and depends on Customs, too! But, sure, I'd love to meet up ! It's always cool to meet fellow OLP and PJ fans!
September is gonna rock!
Peace!

Yay two meet ups
Where are you sitting Matt? I have the crappiest of the crappy behind the stage in a corner seats, but it's going to be worth it - PJ are the only band left on my "bands I really really need to see" list and they haven't been to the UK for way too long.

umm...been a faithful PJ Ten club member for over 10 years...fan club seats are usually on the floor...in the first 10 rows...you should have a great view from your seats though...the band usually has an open back stage and eddie often serenades the people back there!
OK, the opening band for the Vancouver show is Jets Overhead...anyone heard of 'em?? and, the tix for vancouver are only 13.50?!? that will be about a buck or 2 USD! hahaha
Geez, I better go back to work now.

Now question. Where can I purchase these tickets?

Oh also, the Commodore can hold up to 3000 people, according to a website I visited.

Good question ... Probably ticketmaster? I know I got my Pixies tickets for the Commodore from there. You've got another week to find out though.

holy jeebus, olp needs to have a actual all-canada tour and take on a few small towns. it's just not worth me going down to vancouver because i'm pretty sure it's the same week school starts.
sucks

I think that website's lying. The general consensus from google searching is 900 - 1000

when Pearl Jam played there in 2000, it was reported as under 1000, but full to capacity.
and, tickets are onsale at 10am on Aug 20th....and I hope it isn't at the box office only....or else, someone in Vancouver will have to do me a huge favor...er, i mean...Favour!
