    Might come out of my 5 years DMB retirement for this.

    Was at the show at the PJD, which was great, but the vibe was not even 1/5 compared to a US (They were supposed to finish with Watchtower, but didn't even bother after Two Step). I hope people get more into the show this time, instead of screaming "Space Between" for 2 hours

    It'll be interesting to see what will be the setup for the Bell Centre.

    My guess is that it will be floor, Red and Green section. (Close to 10k with the other sections covered up)

    I'm a Torontonian (sorry) and I already had plans to travel to Montreal on the 22nd for Just For Laughs. This could not be more perfect!

    Old Montreal is like 2-3 subway stations from the Bell Centre on the same line.

    Who was at the ACC show a few years ago?
    How does a Bell Centre show compare .. I have been to full-arena concerts at Canadian Tire Centre, and ACC as mentioned. In most cases (sitting in the lower bowl most times) I was not impressed with the sitelines/view/distance.. thus most likely will try floor/pit for my first time ever.

    Can we start a list of hotels - decent price but not low-end - along one of the main Metro lines?
    I am looking to stay just outside of downtown (to lower parking/etc costs) along the subway line, would love to hear suggestions (pref. somewhere w/ Gov't rate).

    I think it will depends on what configuration they'll setup the Bell Centre.

    Could be Amphitheatre (10k-14k)
    http://www.evenko.ca/_pdf/centrebell/Amphitheatre.pdf

    Or Theatre (5-9k)
    http://www.evenko.ca/_pdf/centrebell/Theater.pdf

    The view will be the same from any other arenas show, if you can manage to get up front in the floor, I would say go for it, or else try something around section 122 or 116. The view is usually pretty good.

    The show is right in the middle of the Just For Laugh festival, so it'll be busy but not as much as the week before (Jazz fest) or the next one (Osheaga) so the prices shouldn't be that expensive, but parking could be a problem, as they'll close a good bunch of the main streets.

    You can always rent a room in Laval, and park the car in the Free outdoor parking of the subway station. Then its maybe a 30 minutes subway ride to the Bell Centre.

    I think they have switch from only selling Aluminium bottle now (with the cap).

    Not sure tough, I never get beers at the Bell Centre. The 11$ price tag for a coors light is a lil too much for me. :P

    Price Setup.

    Looks like it might be White Section for, and hoping to get an upgrade the day of the show.

    Warehouse has the venue map posted. It looks like the whole floor of the Bell Centre is going to be GA.

    I'm inserting my one little "good old days" bitch about this. This venue was the one venue where I reliably got seniority back in the day. I always got first or second row, left side, and I'd end up with the same warehouser's around me years after year. Yes, it wasn't fair to folks who didn't have seniority that the same people got the same seats year after year, but it really was fun while it lasted.
