UPDATE - 12/3@11:16AM: TRIBUTE seems to work for all 3 dates for the Live Nation pre-sale. That password will likely work for all of the Live Nation pre-sales for the upcoming dates too.

UPDATE - 12/3@10:52AM: The Live Nation pre-sale password for the Hershey date is TRIBUTE (thanks lilvictory).

UPDATE - 12/3@10:23AM: The Music Today pre-sales should be ending at 12PM today and the Rush VIP/CITI pre-sales will be ending at 5PM. Various Live Nation, venue and radio pre-sales all kicked off at about 10AM this morning too. If anyone has password info for these, let us know. It looks like the password MOVING works for the Detroit show (thanks craigl). And there's a venue pre-sale for the Hershey date using a password of HERSHEY (thanks Professordrums).

UPDATE - 11/30@10:17PM: Everything is in place for the Hershey, Detroit and Baltimore pre-sales tomorrow at 10AM. Both Ticketmaster and the Rush Music Today site now list all three dates. For information on how all of the various pre-sales work, be sure to visit the ticket sales and pre-sales guide. For those of you planning to purchase tickets, good luck tomorrow!

UPDATE - 11/30@6:38PM: The Hershey, Detroit and Baltimore dates are now listed over at the Rush Music Today site. That's a good sign since - in some cases - on the last tour this didn't occur until minutes before the tickets went on sale! Rush and Music Today seem to have a much better handle on things this go-around.

UPDATE - 11/30@2:41PM: The Hershey date is now listed at Ticketmaster along with the Rush VIP and CITI Cardmember pre-sale info.

UPDATE - 11/30@1:55PM: The Baltimore date is now listed at Ticketmaster along with the Rush VIP and CITI Cardmember pre-sale info (thanks timintey).

Rush sent out another email in the wee hours of the morning confirming that fan pre-sales through Music Today will begin tomorrow at 10AM for the Hershey, Detroit and Baltimore dates. Rush VIP and CITI Cardmember pre-sales through Ticketmaster should also begin tomorrow for those 3 dates, although so far only the Detroit show is listed at Ticketmaster. They also released pre-sale info for the Rotterdam show. From the email:
