Hey everyone,

It's Helen here with some more updates!

The tentative date for the ticket pre-sale for best seats at the next Great Big Sea concert near you has been set for Friday November 11, 2005 at 12 NOON local time! All will be confirmed shortly through the GreatBigSea.com newsletter!

Hey, Helen! Thank you soooo much for the update!

Now, I have a couple of stupid questions. "Local time" to who? and How many tickets can we get with this deal? I may want quite a few, but the others in my group could wait until they go on sale to the general public if you want to keep the numbers down.

Again, thank you!

Liz

Believer,

I'll jump in and answer half of your question as I'm sure I know what Helen meant by local time.

By "local time" Helen meant that tickets will go on sale at noon local time for each venue -- so for example, if the show is in Vancouver, the pre-sale for those tickets will be at 12:00pm PST -- for a show in Toronto, the pre-sale for those tickets will be at 12:00pm EST.

As to the other half of your question, honestly I'm not sure so we'll have to wait for Helen, but I bet there will be a limit of 6 or 8 tickets per order -- I'm pretty sure this is normally done to discourage scalpers.

Scalpers..... get a haircut and get a real job. There just might be an increase of signups for the OKP so they can get there hands on those best seats. I sure hope not. How many want tickets in Halifax. Make sure to save me a good seat. I'm working on finding a way to get around my unhaving the credit card issue.

I really hope there isn't a rush of people signing up just to get tickets. I've had hard luck trying to get tickets to the last few things at Mile One. Dial-up internet is awful and the phone lines are always jammed. I guess Friday is the date for the sale here in NFLD as well. So is it 12:00 noon NF time as well?

Thanks,
