If you decide to catch 2 or more, you will prolly be disappointed. They are known to play the exact same set lists on tours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stud boy Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Agreed that the title was in poor taste. The man is not dead, hopefully his remaining days are kind to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'd reccomend getting tickets to one of the earlier shows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Just a bit early. Nobody recovers from what he has, unfortunately. 30 minutes ago, Stud boy said: Agreed that the title was in poor taste. The man is not dead, hopefully his remaining days are kind to him.

Renegade X Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 And then you go on to joke about it... Karma bud, karma. I can only hope that cancer doesn't affect you or someone you care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowhawkcat Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Maybe it might happen to puzzle?? Maybe he with get diagnosed with a terminal disease and one of us can start a thread "Puzzleboy won't be down for breakfast" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Who's making jokes? You guys need to look up the word "terminal". He is not escaping this one, unfortunately. Have I wished this on anybody? I feel bad for him and his family. In any case, fortunately, karma is not a real thing. Like the tooth fairy or God. If I am diagnosed with a terminal disease, you are more than welcome to start a thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzleboy Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) I've always liked him too. Will be sad to see him gone. Sounds like some of you guys have a fear of death.

Puzzleboy Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 $1200 for the Hip is a bit insane. I've seen them twice live (got free tickets), and they're not much of a concert/performance band, especially with their newer mellower stuff. I would say his diagnosis is impacting the silly pricing..... sad really. Save your money, and download their early discography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) $5999 at StubHub. YGBFKM. It's about the fans, after all. Fuck Ebay/StubHub. Why on earth we legalized scalping with no price ceilings is beyond me. And how does StubHub legally get all the tickets? Despicable in a way. I believe in capitalism and free markets, but something stinks here. Edited June 1, 2016 by Puzzleboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzleboy Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Homes are a little different, and are more like any other traded commodity. If Gord was not terminal, Hip tickets would never be $6000. So what does that mean...... these scalpers are really preying on people's emotions. It's a bit much. 2 hours ago, Stoney said: Just like homes, right.... It does suck though.

But if it is "what the market will bear" and they sell, why not?!?! The hip, or there management should have put something in place to avoid this, if possible....they had to of known it was going to happen, and I assume they would rather not see this happen.
