Official Toronto 2012 Thread 6/2/12

42km · 02-15-2012, 08:49 PM

Now that its official....and with no Toronto 2012 thread up....I just had to start this. Should be a great show with this years Toronto stop on a Saturday! Dont miss the opener, Blind Pilot. I caught them at the Chicago Caravan stop and again in Toronto last fall. Great Sound !!

Krol · 02-16-2012, 04:27 PM

I'm excited that we finally have a show on a weekend. This should be a real treat. Always hated having to go into work the next day...

dmbwadeo · 02-17-2012, 09:14 AM

I actually had to double check it when I saw it was on a Saturday. This is awesome. With two young kids I likely wouldn't have made mid week.

uro55 · 02-17-2012, 10:31 AM

I don't liven T.O. anymore, but I'm hopefully coming back for the show. We should do an Ants meetup somewhere preshow?

We'll be on the top of the lawn with our kids. And in London tomorrow too.

Koumoulas · 02-17-2012, 03:21 PM

Yesssssss!

BarrieDavefan · 02-17-2012, 09:14 PM

yay for a weekend date

DMB-CRAZY · 02-21-2012, 09:57 AM

Excited to finally have a Toronto show on a Saturday!
Traditionally, we have lunch at the Boathouse (or whatever they are calling it this year) before the show. Who's interested?

AudreyM · 02-26-2012, 01:26 PM

I think that because the show is on a Saturday, good seats will be difficult to obtain. More people are able to make weekend shows, more people will travel to TO, on top of the Warehouse selling seniority this year.

LyingHandsOfGod · 02-29-2012, 01:39 PM

Crossing my fingers for a tape this year!

Xavier_11 · 03-01-2012, 12:24 AM

I will be there... first show in 2 years since the gorge in 2010.... Going to be cool to see him at another outdoor venue.

nethervue · 03-04-2012, 07:49 PM

First DMB concert ever! Actually making it a weekend getaway, will be flying in from New Brunswick. Can anyone fill me in where "pavillion reserved" is in the seating chart? I was just confirmed for 2 tickets

Did I mention its my first?

Nice to see someone else from NB on here, which part are you located? Congrats on your first show! T.O was where I lost my DMB virginity as well!

Fredericton! You? This has been way too long coming, but man, I'm so damn excited!! Dying to know where the seats will be!

Koumoulas · 03-04-2012, 08:09 PM

Ya what exactly is Pavillion?

nethervue · 03-04-2012, 08:12 PM

Im hoping it means the 200s!

Koumoulas · 03-04-2012, 08:25 PM

Maybe, you'll like Molson, it's a fantastic venue for DMB concerts. The worst part about it though is that there's only 1 exit, and 16 000 people all leaving at the same time haha

Unfortunately, it means 200's to 400's. Fortunately, there isn't really a bad seat in the house.

I'm down in Saint John, as are a few others on here. The Molson Amp really doesn't have a bad seat, I was in sec. 201 when I went and it was great! The thing I've found about the Canadian shows is that they don't realize that there ARE actually dmb fans up here so they play lots of hits. 2010 we heard almost all of big whiskey in one show! Can't complain being at a dmb show, but not a lot of deep cuts get played...We did get JTR though!

DMBfan14567 · 03-04-2012, 09:40 PM

Does anyone know how the pit is set up? Just got confirmed for pit...very excited about making the trip up (both for the concert and to hit up an Ikea

).

That would be a negative. 5'5" on a good day.

So the stage is up high kind of like Darien then?

On the good news front, there's 2 Ikea's between the border and the venue. One in west Toronto and 1 in Burlington

dobyblue · 03-05-2012, 11:57 AM

YAY for a Saturday show! By the way the pub around the corner from Exhibition is substantially closer than the Boathouse and they have outdoor patio as well and a great selection of beer. Could be a better choice - http://www.brazenhead.ca/

I've gone here for just about all the recent shows I've seen at MolAmp and Ricoh.

Not as high as Darien. It can fit around 15 rows of chairs and three sections, so there's quite a lot of room for shows. You can stand at the back of the PIT section by the railing of the 200's and get a very nice level view of the band, the closer to the front the more you'll be looking up at an angle.

Sound is great anywhere in the venue.

Awesome! We've been to the one in Vaughn before, but I'd like to stop by one possibly on the way home...maybe pick up a new bed for my son. Apparently 4 year olds are too cool for race car beds and now he wants to sleep in a low-loft bed.

We were thinking of going back to Steamwhistle again before the show, but this place sounds pretty cool too. Thanks!

I survived the pit at Darien for Coldplay, and was right up against the little side part that jutted out into the pit so I should probably be fine for DMB then if it's not even as high. Thanks!

Didn't know about the AMEX pre-sale that started yesterday, but just pulled a 5th row in 203 single. I'm a happy camper.

It sure beats anything my 10 year membership in WH would get me.

I never even tried the Amex presale. They're usually in the 400 section. I need a single reserved if anyone has an extra.
