Thank You Canada Tour - V/M, Chan, D/R, Osmond

Kaetlyn actually said this tour didn’t come about until after she’d already decided to sit out the Grand Prix.

Yes, she said this yesterday in an article posted like 8 hours after my speculative comment

40 minutes until presale and I don't have a code!!

I tried a bunch of them and SKATE worked (which is the same as the venue presale code for Saint John). Maybe try SKATE or MEDAL?

Knowing that the tour (at least the idea of it) had been conceived of a while ago, I wonder when she made the decision. I guess it doesn’t matter though!

I managed to get Centre Ice - Row B! Yay!!!

I think maybe they shoukd talk to Jason Brown before locking in on the confetti idea.

It sticks around, and even if you think you've cleaned it up for the next show, you really haven't.

I recently saw a production of Aida's where they dropped large gold confetti on Amneris and Radames in the big Act II finale. For the rest of the opera, especially the Nile Scene, random bits of gold confetti wafted from the ceiling, like the roof insulation at 2006 Ottawa Nationals.

I got my tickets for St. John's!! My budget wouldn't allow for on ice so we're in row 4 on the blue line. Super pumped!

I'll be at the Kingston, ON show - a friend bought tickets for his wife, daughter and I using the pre-sale code. He couldn't get it to work online but was able to get it done by telephone. An early Christmas gift

Presale code CANADA worked this morning - just got an email with pre sale code SKATE. Good luck getting tickets - hope to see some of you at the show in Abbotsford - we're in Section 100.

CAAICE- worked for St. Catharine's

Does she have a reason to "Thank Canada"?

From the discussion in the ISU Congress there seems to be interest in "Blaming Canada" maybe she could sign up for that tour...

 

[seabm7]

How do you get the code?

Follow the twitter and instagram of the tour. Read the conversation. It may depends on the city.

 

[made_in_canada]

We got our tickets. All the ladies in my family and my dad are going. We’re going to surprise my nieces

 

[chantilly]

Got my ticket for Kelowna!
Section 109.
Didn't want on ice or front row as I don't think it's best for skating.

 

[kwanfan1818]

SKATE worked for Abbottsford -- I picked a random mid-priced ticket in a corner section, ~47, but, of course, ~61 after Ticket Monster fees -- and they assigned me to an aisle. Wheeeee!!!!!!!!

Abbotsford is the fifth largest city in BC. I appreciate that the tour has a show there, but the definition of "small market" seems to be a little, um, flexible.

 

[Dave of the North]

We got tickets for Moncton. We got a ticket for my mother-in-law so that dictated Moncton rather than Saint John.

 

[kwanfan1818]

I think "small market" = / = "NHL-sized arena."

 

[made_in_canada]

I think "small market" = / = "NHL-sized arena."

I interpreted it as places that didn't get Stars on Ice but have a 5000-7000ish seat arena.

 

[Jay42]

The cities they're coming to in Alberta are all over 60,000 people, but rarely/never get skating shows. Especially Red Deer which I think might be due to how close they are to Edmonton. We've had the Holiday or Celebration on Ice tours a couple of times in the past but the last time that happened was probably 2012 or 2013.

The only city they're repeating from SOI (I think) is London, which makes sense since Tessa and Scott are organizing it.

 

[Lanie]

Is it bad I’ve looked up flights, so I can go to one of these shows...

No.

Things are relative. 5th large city would never get a SOI.

Just got tix for me and Mr alilou. Sect 112 row 4. You can ride out there with us if you like.

Per the tour’s twitter account, Elvis’s last stop will be the Moncton show.

So he’ll be missing Saint John, Sydney, Summerside and St, John’s.

Interested to see who else they get to fill out the cast beyond the core five skaters/teams.

 

[kwanfan1818]

I'm hoping they go local/localish with guests-- I'd love to see Firus out here -- and also that Balde is available for at least part of the tour.

Abbotsford is close enough to Vancouver that anyone who wants to see SOI can drive in to see it there. And the Cirque du Soleil skating show just played at the same arena. It's really not as skating deprived as the PR for the show is suggesting

 

[kwanfan1818]

Not everyone can or will schlep into Vancouver, especially on a school night, or afford the $$$ ticket, parking,is etc. prices and primetime traffic in, and I'm glad they decided not to skip Abbottsford. Cirque was a one-off, and I was sorry to have had to miss it, but it's a lot different than having the skaters you see on TV and have been rooting for for years appear locally and for much more reasonable and family-friendly prices.

Oh, I'd love if Firus and Balde were involved. Maybe I'll send a tweet
