Tried to buy tickets from 10-11 am on multiple devices, no luck, TM are shysters. Ended up buying DRL tickets on Stub Hub for twice the price, not cool TM!!!

Garth tweeted out that he is working on more shows and will announce something on Monday.

He should just sign a one year contract with Rogers Place, be a resident performer like in Vegas lol probably would work for country singers.

Got 3 pairs through ticketmaster.

Question though... with credit card entry, how do stub hub and other resellers get around things?

Garth adds sixth show on February 25, weird to have it quite a few days after the last show.....

Makes sense to take a bit of a break. That's a lot of playing over a few days.

Until this December I'd never given up hope for Queen + George Michael. The guy was gold during the Freddy Mercury tribute concert back in 92. With that said, Lambert is no slouch.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**118** Posted **Jan 26, 2017, 4:15 PM**

I hear the Queen + Adam Lambert show is quite awesome, so I might check this out.

I wish I could travel back in time to see Queen's 1977 show with Thin Lizzy as opener.

Here's some more ear candy for you: Brian May, with Eddie Van Halen, Alan Gratzer, Phil Chen, and Fred Mandel from a jam session they had.
