gimmekeef Looks like Ottawa has sold out with no pairs available after 4 hrs on sale.Toronto is wide open with only $60 seats gone....very slow here...Moncton still (?) has lots of seats in GA ...no seating chart so its impossible to tell how mnay have gone here....Mixed results...?

Dan A news article was just posted to Undercover stating TM admitted sales for Toronto is less than expected. But then again wonder how many thousands of people have traveled to Toronto from the Ottawa area in the past? No surprise the 50 $60 tix sold out right away.

Nothing mixed about the Canadian sales- it's another spectacular day for the Stones!!!! As I pull up the 29,000 stadium capacity at Ottawa, Ticketbastard tells me it's sold out. When I pull up sales to the general public (not the VIP section) for the 40,000 stadium capacity at Moncton, New Brunswick, Ticketbastard also tells me this is close to being sold out. The STONES have almost sold out two Canadian stadium shows in one day!!!

As of right now, Toronto does appear to be wide open but, since the seating capacity is 60,000, I'm going to give it a few days. One thing about Toronto; it's located real close to Detroit and, as Dan stated above, they're putting on a stadium show at Ottawa which logically would draw fans away from Toronto. This looks like a case of too many stadium shows located too near one another. This may ultimately impact sales at both Detroit and Toronto. We'll wait and see.

Matt Lacroix i got my tickets through a friend who works a the rogers center in TO, for every public event, they have an employee pre-sale, even for the Stones apparently...

M.O.W.A.T. I tried at 10 am to get a pair of $60 seats only to wait almost 20 minutes with no success. Finally, able to get a pair of $99 ones once I said best available at that price level (section 214 row 4) - even then I had to wait almost 5 minutes for results.

gimmekeef I think Toronto will eventually sell close to capacity as the buzz of the band being in town for rehearsals starts up.And yes I agree Ottawa likely siphoned off some fans.Moncton will probably be the best show though and sounds like a blast.Perhaps the 450,000 Toronto area fans from Sarstock many seeing band for first time at bargain prices decided this time tickets just too expensive.And tickets were sold on a week day.Not everyone can freely access internet from work like some of us here!
