Canadian presale information

Mon, Apr 16, 2007@11:35PM | comments removed/disabled

UPDATE - 4/17@7:12AM: Rush.com was updated with the correct links for Canadian presales. It is through Ticketmaster although the title of the page says Rush Music Today Presale? Whatever. Here's the link. And the presale looks like it is for all 6 Canadian dates (including Montreal and Quebec City). Here's what the blurb on the page says:

RUSH FAN CLUB PRESALE!
SNAKES AND ARROWS TOUR

Over the course of their decades-spanning career, the Canadian power trio Rush emerged as one of hard rock's most highly regarded bands.

Through this exclusive offer, get your RUSH tickets before the general public!

PRESALE runs from APRIL 17TH at 10AM through to APRIL 19TH at 5PM

Enter the code "LEELA" in the PROMOTIONS & SPECIAL OFFERS box to get your tickets FIRST!

*6 ticket limit

Thanks Eric D for the head up.

If you've been following my recent post on Canadian presales you know that information only started trickling in this morning and has been difficult to come by, not to mention a little confusing. There is now information up on TicketMaster Canada detailing presales for the London, Toronto, Ottawa and Calgary shows all stating that presales begin tomorrow at 10AM. We still don't have any solid information about the Quebec City and Montreal shows though.

The London, Toronto, Ottawa and Calgary dates all list a Fan Club presale which begins at 10AM. The Calgary show also has several other presales in addition and the Toronto show has an AMEX presale. Not much is said about what Fan Club they're referring to but a couple of hours ago the Rush email list sent out the following bulletin:

Canadian tour dates go on sale Tuesday, April 17th at 10am local time and close on Thursday, April 19th at 5pm local time. To get access to the pre-sales tickets you need to do the following:
1) Go to http://www.rush.com .
2) Click on the "Tour" link.
3) Click on the link to the appropriate show.
4) You will need the password "leela" to purchase your pre-sale tickets.

It's still a little unclear whether MusicToday will handle the presale or not, but I'm guessing no - I think TicketMaster is. Neither of the two MusicToday presales so far required any kind of password and by this time they had posted information on their site. As of right now, no information about Canadian presales are listed on their site and nobody can seem to get a straight answer from them. Also, why would TicketMaster Canada advertise a Fan Club presale if they weren't handling it? So if you plan to purchase tickets for any of the Canadian dates, I'd advise you to have the TicketMaster Canada site queued up in your browser and your credit card at hand tomorrow morning just before 10AM ... and the password is LEELA. Good luck!
