Canandaigua NEW YORK SHOW 8.28.10

Quote15 minute wait in Ticketmaster? What the...

That's what was happening for the 2008 NYE show when Ticketbastard and the scalper's shut everyone out...the wait would go from 1 minute, jump to 10, back down to 5 and them jump back up to 15. It was a circus and nobody got anything decent during that sale.

As of a month ago, I had no intentions of going to this show. Then I realized I have two whole seasons to wait between now and the T5 shows. Long story short, I'll be coming down from Toronto on the 28th.

Picked up some sweeeeeeet 3rd row RCE tickets on eBay at a VERY good price -- have never been so happy with eBay brokers.

So pumped!

My wife and I will likely be coming from Ottawa, Ontario since the band isn't playing in these parts this year. We then will make our way to Philly, although we may need a ride!

tdb810 · Aug 07, 2010, 08:51 AM

As it turns out, we are skipping this show....vermont, tom petty, and philly will hold us over til T5!

Northern Neighbour · Aug 10, 2010, 07:15 AM

The New Pornographers will be opening for MMJ. Excellent!

I honestly don't know a thing about the NPs besides the fact that they are from Canada and have been around for a while. What can I expect?

Northern Neighbour · Aug 10, 2010, 09:45 AM

TNP are an indie pop group based out of Vancouver. They're a very good band, although not everyone likes them. The entire band is together for the first time in years, which means Neko Case and Dan Bejar are touring. I've seen TNP I think three, maybe four, times including this June in Montreal.

TNP isn't really like MMJ. Think more like Broken Social Scene (another Canadian indie super-group).

LayLowMeltdown · Aug 10, 2010, 11:22 AM

Not sure if anyone knows this or not. But people going to this show are in for a treat. The New Pornographers are opening up for them. What a badass band. Can't believe THEY are opening for MMJ.

Can't wait for Terminal shows!

Northern Neighbour · Aug 10, 2010, 11:41 AM

I just posted the TNP information a few posts above. I agree, they are an excellent band.

If you are unable to sell them, would you be willing to swap tickets? My tickets are in LCE row Q. Thanks.

AT the suggestion of Nothern Neighbour (hey NN we're just up the Valley from you, in Pembroke), I'm going to repost this message here.

Hey all,,,just wondering where everybody's staying in the Canandaigua area? We booked into the Red Carpet Inn, which seems to be one of the closest places to CMAC. It looks decent, fairly modern, etc., yet it gets mostly terrible reviews. One reviewer said that when they arrived, with confirmation in hand, they were told they didn't have a reservation and denied a room. I checked around and every other motel is booked solid, which makes me wonder if this place is legit and we even have a res.

Also wondering as to where anyone arriving in Friday night might be hanging out? Any good bars / restaurants nearby? First time going to CMAC so any feedback would be great. Thanks.

Northern Neighbour · Aug 12, 2010, 04:23 PM

Mickey, my wife and I were originally going to stay at the Red Door Inn, but we have had to cancel, as we will now drive right back to Ottawa after the show. We have an 8:00 flight in the morning to Philly to catch MMJ's next show. We have to do this because 1) we're flying overseas on the 30th and 2) it was a much more cost-effective way to travel. Anyway, you might want to call the Red Door Inn to see if they have a room available. The manager sounded like a great guy and the Inn has very good reviews.
