Just hope it sounds better than Metallica did last week. Just checked the map and the show sold very well. There are only a few thousand seats unsold as of right now. If 54,500 Is an accurate number than there will be over 50,000 In attendance. How did the Metallica show sell and what was wrong with the sound?

If I hear anything interesting when they do soundcheck I'll try to post it... Would you mind letting us know once the merch truck turns up?

Solidius Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Never been to a concert at BC Place but I know Rogers Arena has started taking debit at the merch stands. BC Place cash only still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they park it out front pretty early but I plan on lining up early so I'll see if I can find out when it opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Regina the truck was put there sometime in the AM and merchandise sales commenced at roughly 110 PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that's a bit earlier than I was guessing they'd open it. I'm curious to see what the litho's gonna look like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 sounded okay but they were rehearsing here so they had a few weeks to tinker with the sound. I thought Metallica sounded terrible, but in talking to a few folks they thought it was okay. I'm kinda hoping it was just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to a show at BC place but I'll be somewhere up front in the pit, is it gonna sound like my ears are full of mud or are some spots in the venue not bad sound-wise?

TheCarlinSeven Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I would think that close you'll be fine. Frankly, I think if they opened the damn roof it would solve a lot of it. No fun city strikes again I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you also let us know what type of payments they take at the truck? That'd be rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Got a glimpse of the vancouver shirt, looks like it's just the bullet logo with a dreamcatcher on it. Kinda bland... Litho is a bear design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a tent, not the truck, and apparently it'll open at 1:00. Anyone done GA at this venue before? Apparently all gates allow all sections in, so there is no "GA gate". I've been told Gate E is where I should be but just wondering if anyone here knows the best entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
