I'm flying up from St. John's to see the show! Thugs would be my request with Yawning or Snarling a close second.

Section 220, front row. Excited to experience side stage after three rearview shows (although I loved those too).

I'll be the guy in a Hipbase shirt crying too hard to form words or sing along.

Come say hello! I may be able to compose myself for 10 seconds to say hello back.

Flying in from Halifax tomorrow - hoping to hear Thugs and Daredevil. Would love to hear Yawning an Snarling again as well.

Fingers crossed for a WATS set - never seen any of those live.

Used to work in the gov offices near there. Check out Vera's Burgers (inside a place called The Butchery) up the road. The Sukhothai place is supposed to be pretty good if you are into that too. Oh and Big Morts Little Pub for great pizza in a classic dirty dive. Lots of gems in that area (to pluck)

I believe Floor A, Row 17? I'll have to reconfirm that.

I'm on the floor, in the penalty box, so not too far from you.

I think you're advertising on the wrong board.

Sounds like Hipbase is going back to the original name: TheBathouse

Most tickets were sold through the venue's box office and not Ticketmaster so they don't seem to be doing credit card entry for them. The box office is open at 10am to pick up "will call" tickets (most floors and good 100 level tickets.)

Don't under estimate Ottawa. 20-25,000 people stood outside in a rain storm at Bluesfest last year to watch them. Seems like lots of people coming from out of town, which will certainly add to the party atmosphere. I know a few people with tickets but more who couldn't get any.

I've seem The Hip in Ottawa 15ish times and it can be hit or miss in terms of crowd craziness. But, seems to be a different vibe in the city the past few years. Redbacks are back and that is a crazy ass party when they play home games - they lead the league in concession (beer) sales. Lots of big shows past couple of years that sell out, including Pearl Jam and AC/DC.

I am in section 117, row 3, so pretty good.

As others have said, take the bus to the arena.
