Discuss the Montreal, Quebec concert (at the Metropolis) here.

That's some great news :D I don't have to wait for the next tour anymore. I'll have to keep looking the web to know when the tickets go on sale.

HUMPF thats unfair they're not coming in Quebec city ! :( But its good news though im gonna chek for tickets ^_^

I'm so gonna go see them! I just wish I'll be able to have some tickets...(I'll have to watch for the day they will be on sale...)

You'll probably see me in the front row!

tickets go one sale on the 19th:D oh man I'm so coming for this one!

we've yet to rock out to an Ev concert eric!!:D

tickets go one sale on the 19th:D oh man I'm so coming for this one!

we've yet to rock out to an Ev concert eric!!:D

EEEeeeEEEEeee... *waits to buy tickets*

Yes we are gonna party Laura ;)

They actually talked about the show on the news! But at the same time that means more people knowing about it and trying to buy tickets :(

mhmm... stfu on the news *nods*

i guess that means the whole crew is buying tickets together...

L, I think i might have to give you guys money for the tickets in Montreal and Tdot so you can get me some, I'm at a wedding on the 19th.

Do you know where you can buy ticket for the Métropolis... is it with ''Admission''?

Usually tickets for the Metropolis are on sale on www.ticketpro.ca

thank you!!! I'll have to hurry if I want some (when they'll sell them...)

yes! im so excited i might get to see them again!
now if only i can convince one of my friends to come with me... cause there is no way in hell my mom is gonna let me go alone.. :(

They are doing publicity for this show on some radio stations... It's kinda bad news, ya know, now alot more people are aware of this show, and 'cause this is a small venue, everyone who really want a place will hurry to get one... I HAVE TO GET MY TICKETS even if it's by some different-but-yet-convincing manners... ;) (I'll torture the guy who sells tickets before august 19th... mouahahahaha) just joking by the way, I'm not one of those freaky/obsessed fan Amy will probably talk about in Snow White Queen

wait...ticketpro.ca? you can't get them through ticketmaster?

*has never been to montreal*

Ticketmaster doesn't cover Quebec. You have to either use Admission.com or Ticketpro.ca to get tickets depending on the venue.

ah man the tix arn't up yet:( any one know if they really do go ona sale on the 19th?

Ticketpro has this new habit of putting them on the site at the last minute. They added the tickets for Blind Guardian 10 minutes before they got on sale a few weeks ago.

that severly sucks! just hope they are on the 19th :p

I just checked and the show isn't even listed on the Metropolis' website yet.

ya I've been checking around a bunch of places too and nothing! oh well I guess we can just keep our fingers crossed:)

Whoa. I did'nt think my mom would let me since I just spent money going to Rent in TO. but she actually said yes!!
So does anyone know how much the tickets may cost? I've been checking the websites too but nothing is up yet.

now if only i can convince one of my friends to come with me...
Yeaa, same with me. That's going to be tough considering I'm traveling and none of them like Ev as much to go. Maybe I'll see some of you guys there!! *wearing my nametag*:p

Tickets for Toronto are listed at 32$ on the website. I would expect them to be the same price here, just add taxes and services charges to that.

The show is listed on GEG's website, tickets listed at 32.50$

do these tickets go on sale on saturday? or are they changing the date like with the toronto one...?

-I think my last post didn't work so I'll post again in case-


I just wanted to know what is the best way to get my tickets...
I cant go buy them there because I live too far so I wanted to know if I'm better to buy them on ticketpro or by phone...
what do you guys do?

****

I'm new here... well I was a lurker but I just joined
I go on forums alot but each have its own rules so if I do anything wrong, let me know =)

I'm thalie btw...

wooowhoo...so who else is going that wants to meet up?

I'm going, at least I think I am :D but there's very few sites I can buy tickets off of. why does everyone hate Quebec?? :( lol.

OMG we should get a huge bus, and ship everyone from the toronto show to the montreal show. and around to all the other shows. like a great big bus-following-ev-party. it will be awesome.

now...where to get a bus...

thalie.: get them online, just follow the link posted by Boadicea.

Laura: I think I'm going :P

scenceable: I don't get why you say there's not a lot of sites you can get the tickets from. I mean besides Ticketmaster.ca where can you buy tickets for the Toronto show? We have 2 websites covering venues around Montreal and it's good like that. Makes it a lot less confusing for people to buy tickets.

yay eric!:p


a bus is always a good idea:D that would be awesome!! and yet another party in the streeets:p:D:D:D


toronto sold out fast too any tickets left here?

Probably a lot, not a lot of people are signed on to the geg.ca newsletter ;)

Can you buy them on the site posted by Boadicea? ( I mean right now?)

Hello EVeryone l's :) My name is Jared and I WILL be going. I am from Ottawa Ontario, and I have seen Evanescence 2 times. I saw them in Montreal the first go around for Fallen at the Bell Center in GA floors. Then on their Summer 2004 Tour I saw them in Ottawa at the Corel Center. (Btw since I am new here where could I find the comments Amy Lee made about the Ottawa show? , and some good fan taken pics of the show. I love music BIG TIME some of fave artists are

Tori Amos
Depeche Mode
Ani Difranco
Bon Jovi
PJ Harvey
Finger Eleven
Alanis Morissette
Def Leppard
Siouxsie and the Banshees
P!NK
Aerosmith
Howie Day
Rufus Wainwright
Amanda Marshall
Sarah Slean
Sarah Harmer
Sarah Maclahlin
Melissa Etheridge
Evanescence
Ben Folds
Fiona Apple

etc etc

This is what I look like.http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/Adam_Eve/MeandTori2005.jpg The photo is of me meeting Tori Amos in Montreal outside the Bell Center on August 26th 2005 during her usual pre -show meet and greets.

I was wondering if there is anyone from Ottawa who would either a)drive me and I'd pay for gas to and from the show or would like to take the train/bus with me.

Last but least Would anyone here be interested in doing a group meetup around 3:00pm (Gives us enough time to lineup and all for dinner and or meerup after the show to party (for those old enough to drink. I am 25) If something is going on I would suggest a fave hang out of mine ARIA AFTER DARK, as I LOVE TRANCE MUSIC. I have done pre show meetups before so I can help/plan the thing if anyone is interested.

HAVE A NICE DAY

JARED :)

Can you buy them on the site posted by Boadicea? ( I mean right now?)

The link for presale is http://www.ticketpro.ca/montreal/evanescence_fr.aspx but it's not working for me again :confused:

The link for presale is http://www.ticketpro.ca/montreal/evanescence_fr.aspx but it's not working for me again :confused:

I thought the Montreal venue wasn't doing presale tickets and they were available on the 19th. Have people already gotten tickets to this show? *is cofused*

edit: BTW bus = awesome haha
Does anyone know if the Metropolis has seats or just floor?, I could'nt really tell in the picture.

I didn't know there was a presale until I got the email telling me there was!

There's seats behind the pit and on the second floor.

RedRooster: Thanks!! haha then I find a seating plan 5 mintutes after.:rolleyes:

My mom called Ticketpro and a lady said she did'nt know there was a presale but to go to that geg.ca. Well, I just hope I can get good seats on saturday.
I'm not sure if my friend can come but I'll be going with my mom cause she wants to see them too. It would be cool if we had a meet up place!! Anyone up for it?

I've planned to go directly in line after school, in fact I'll probably be in line at 4 o'clock, so you'll see me there!

Well, I just hope I can get good seats on saturday.

It's a GA venue, there is no numbered seats. First come, first serve.

Ooo, so I just buy my ticket and sit or stand whereever, when I get there? sweet
Hmm I'm going to have to miss school that day.:) I'm taking a bus so just checking with the scheduel, when might the concert end?

I believe most concerts end around 11pm or so

Well the show is at 7PM but we don't know if there's an opening band or not. So it's hard to tell, but I doubt it would finish pass 11:30PM, and that's even pushing it.

Ook, thanks guys for clearing up a lot of stuff!! I guess I'm going to have to take the last bus out at 11:59 haha

Well the show is at 7PM

But isn't the show at 8pm and doors open at 6:30?

But isn't the show at 8pm and doors open at 6:30?

True, sorry about that.I confused it with the time of the Toronto show. At least 7PM is written on ticketmaster ;)

I went to the link and got a blank page. I did a search on ticketpro.ca but they didn't have a listing for it. I will be buying online and I don't wanna get screwed. IMHO this isn't really "rewarding" fans when these venues are small and not all of the "hardcore" fans will get in.

The link has been acting weird since last night and like I said before Ticketpro adds shows just before they get onsale.

http://www.geg.ca/eng/concerts/redirect.cfm?sectionID=gegConcertBios.cfm&artistID=62&venueID=51

So the onsale is tomorrow @ HIGH NOON 12:00 EST. That is usually the time I have boughten tickets for a Montreal concert.

thanks for your infos guys! it helps me alot!!! I'm so afraid not to get tickets! I know it's stupid but anyway...

I'll have to take the bus too... it sucks because school ends at 4 and it takes 1:30 for the bus... (I live in Sorel-Tracy... don't worry if you don't know where it is, it's most likely a hole) I might miss my last course.

anyone speak french here aroud here :cool: ?

do you think that the tickets will sell out fast? cause on the 19th i work till 5, so ill be home at 6, and i wanna buy the tickets when i get home...

ps. YAY i found someone to go with me to the concert!

thanks for your infos guys! it helps me alot!!! I'm so afraid not to get tickets! I know it's stupid but anyway...


Me either... I have driving lessons tomorow, so my mother is going to buy tickets... I'm going with like 5 others... She sais she would be there at 11:00... but I'm a bit nervous about it... it's stupid... but!

Je parle français!!! (j'habite près de Montréal, Notre-Dame de l'île Perrot si ça te dit quelque chose! c'est pas mal un trou aussi, on connais plus St-Laz qu'ici...)

urgh, I can't wait :D but I have to work tomorrow morning (of course) so my dad or my friends shall have to get me tickets.

I need to make a few phone calls.

It takes about 6 hours to drive from toronto to montreal right? is anyone else making that trip for the 2 shows? hopefully I am, that is if I can get tix to this show :D

from toronto... it depends on how fast you drive, but usually its taken me and the people I've driven down with (from montreal) about 5 hours... and there are a few people who are driving down from the toronto show to montreal for the show at the metropolis.

Me either... I have driving lessons tomorow, so my mother is going to buy tickets... I'm going with like 5 others... She sais she would be there at 11:00... but I'm a bit nervous about it... it's stupid... but!

aww you're lucky! mines always end at 4 :mad:

I hope the tickets will not sell out too fast too :eek: .. I'll buy them on ticketpro because I already know how it's work...
but is there a big difference betwen gillett and ticketpro? (I mean, ou said that ticketpro take a lot of time before putting the tickets online...)

I'm making that trip with a few friends:D

Well you gusy must be driving fast lol, because From Ottawa driving it is 2 hours to Montreal and 5 hours to Toronto. So it should be 7 hours from Toronto to Montreal. I have done Ottawa-Montreal and 1.5 hours and Ottawa-Toronto in 4 hours. But that was with people driving really fast.

WELL GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Post here if you get tickets.

but is there a big difference betwen gillett and ticketpro? (I mean, ou said that ticketpro take a lot of time before putting the tickets online...)

Gillett doesn't sell tickets anyways. All you're gonna get from the GEG site is a link to Ticketpro.

I do Montreal/Toronto at 120km/h and it takes me 5 hours. I even stop for gas.

I already got my ticket, so I don't need to worry about tomorrow ;)

but what is the other site you were talking about? someone said there was 2 sites where they were selling tickets....


and how come you already have your tickets!?!?! presale? lucky you!

okay, so the event will appear on ticketpro soon? *anxious* when it does, can someone post? I've never used ticketpro before.

you can see an evanescence picture on the front page.. and it written:

EVANESCENCE
**En vente le samedi le 19 août 2006 à midi**
Métropolis
6 octobre 2006 20:00


so, when it will be 12:00, when we will click on the picture (or 6 octobre) it will work..

well,, I think lol

no... when I try to get them it keeps saying the server is too busy...

I have had nothing but trouble. Thursday I registered with ticketpro so my info would be saved. Today It said there was an error trying to log in. When I finally got to the part where you pay by credit card it was all gray and wouldnt let key in any information. Finally it did and then it was taking forever to process my card. Next thing I see the www.ticketpro.ca mainpage. So now I don't even know If I have a ticket or not. I am going to check my yahoo account and see if there is an e-mail from the, if not I won't be happy.

No e-mail there so I will try calling but I have had no luck in that department so far.

but what is the other site you were talking about? someone said there was 2 sites where they were selling tickets....

There's 2 websites covering shows in Montreal. Admission.com and TicketPro.ca. Admission covers the big venues while Ticketpro covers the smaller ones. So tickets are sold on either website but never both.

okay, so after refreshing the page about a billion times due to the busy server, it finally went through. my dad was punching it in as I was talking to him on the phone, I think it worked, we'll have to see. they charged the card and gave us a confirmation, so it should be good.

seriously though, ticketpro has annoyed me today :)

Me 2. :( I called them and no the transaction didn't go through. So I called them abnd finally bought a ticket. The guy I was speaking with did the usual blurb about there are a lot of people on the website and that is why it might have crashed.

YAY i got my tickets !!!
:D
*dances profusely around the room*

GAWD I cant WAIT!

Glad it worked for both of you :D

Me 2, I just don't understand why these companies can't get the shit together when it comes 2 a website that can support the number of hits it will get for a mjor onsale. Once in 2001 for Tori Amos @ Massey Hall in Toronto TICKETBASTARD was down for 1 hour. I was not happy.

I don't understand either. Admission's website is really bad for traffic too. When I tried to get NHL playoff tickets this year it took me 2 hours to get something else then a "Server is too busy" message. You can imagine the tickets were long gone!

hehehee I remember *back in the day* when we had to wait in LINE for tickets.
Outside
In the cold
bahhhh
I remember almost being crushed to death during the line for Pink Floyd tickets.
ouch.

HEhe, I finally have my tickets... *kissing them at the moment* *so happy*

hehehee I remember *back in the day* when we had to wait in LINE for tickets.

ouch.

to be honest, I would so prefer doing that! stupid presales and living in toronto when the show is in quebec and places NOT having a box office near me.

we can stand in the cold for hours waiting for the show to start I guess.

does metropolis have seats or is it all GA?

does metropolis have seats or is it all GA?

I think we've answered this 5 times already but yes there is seats at the back of the pit and the second floor.

Yaayy!! I got my tickets too!!:D At 12 I clicked the link and it kept saying the sever was busy also. So I just kept trying and after about 15 min. it finally worked! Then I had to rush to a baby shower.
I just got home and I got my e-mail. So now they just have to be mailed to me...*waits anxiously* I want to hold them in my hands!!:p

Plus, I actually found a friend that WANTS and CAN go with me.

I think we've answered this 5 times already but yes there is seats at the back of the pit and the second floor.

sorry :D I thought there was seats but it never asked me if I wanted seats or GA when I ordered them. is it like, first come first serve for the seating? or does ticketpro just sort of decide for you? :P

First come first serve.

First come first serve, but anyway, I won't take any seat, I'll go right into the pitch, in front... And it is possible that they took away some chairs on the first floor... because they anticipate a lot of people... they said the theater can gather something auround 2700 peaople... And I don't think it is possible with all the chairs over the plce (I went one time to the Métropolis...)

It worked for me too! woohoo! :D

oh, GA with seats, thats cool :D but I don't think I'll go in the seats.

either way, thanks for all your info guys *bows down to your intellegence*

I just want to know: Who will go the the show with the Evboard Tag with their name on it?

I just might do that:p

I have worn ID tags or "tour laminates as we called them on atforuzn for Tori Amos's 2001,2002,2003 Tours. They were a neat way to recognize us and put names to faces.

Do you think there will be some tickets left for tomorrow? I'll go buy them after school, that means around 4h00 pm... :confused:

*raises hand* I will be wearing a name tag!! This one to be exact: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b225/cryptic-fairy/photoshoped%20stuff/evconcerttag2.jpg
I've already got what I'm gonna wear too.:rolleyes:My cousins, aunt and uncle came over today and I happened to be choosing what to wear and they started making fun of me haha. I'll be in jeans with a black Emily Strange shirt and a black button up thing and red sleeves underneath. And black/purple-in-light long hair.

Do you think there will be some tickets left for tomorrow? I'll go buy them after school, that means around 4h00 pm... :confused:

There's some left now, so it should be fine tomorrow.

I just want to know: Who will go the the show with the Evboard Tag with their name on it?


I don't have one...
but people would not know who I am anyway ;)
I should have joined before hehe

I got my ticket in the mail today. It isn't like a regular concert ticket It is really big and a thin paper feel to it. I hope I still get to keep it. I collect these things for my scrapbook.

Metropolis is nice enough to only tear the end of it and not like half of it. So you'll keep your huge ticket :p

The last time i went to the Métropolis... they didn't tear the ticket, they just scan the bar code and that's all... I wish they'll only do the scanning part... not the one when they destroy this wonderful masterpiece...

at the spectrum, they tear the half of the ticket! :mad:
I like to keep my tickets too

hey ! :D hum...i live in quebec city, and so i'm comming during the day in montreal and does someone know at what time we should arrive in front of the doors to have great places ? and...I never went to metropolis so i have no idea how it is made in there, can someone tell me ?:confused:
Thanks !!

I say we all arrive at 6am. :D

I say we all arrive at 6am. :D


are you planning to leave for montreal right from the T.O. concert?

ummm, I doubt we'll leave right from the show, probably the next morning. so 6am will not be so easy to make :P maybe noon...lol

is everyone planning on staying at the venue until the show? We could pass by somewhere for lunch depending on the amount of people at the venue... shouldn't be too bad seeing as it is a small venue... compared to something like the Bell Center, that is to say.

I was thinking of "3 Amigos" since my friends from Toronto/Laval still havn't been to the place.

I'm working so no time for me to go to 3 Amigos!

Hey, guys. I was wondering if you could help me out here.

Seeing as how there are tickets left for this venue (but probably not for long!), I'm really starting to put the pressure on my dad to take me to it. I think I've finally persuaded him, but there's one problem. My dad's a truck driver, and the only way I can get to the concert is if I go with him for that working week (or half week - whatever). My mom doesn't want to go and I know for a fact that she will not drive to Montreal (she probably doesn't even know how to get there, LOL). So when I told my dad where the venue is he was like, "But it's right downtown! How the hell am I supposed to park the truck down there?!" So, yeah ... that's the problem. Are there ANY places, any places at all where my dad could safely park his transport truck off the street? Of course, it has to be close-by, or at least within walking distance.

If you guys could respond ASAP, either here or by PM, it would be very much appreciated. I have never seen Ev live before and I want to see them up close before the stadium tour next year.

you can park closer to any metro station , the venus is at 1 block form the st-laurent station

you can park closer to any metro station , the venus is at 1 block form the st-laurent station

Thank you so much! I don't Montreal very well, myself. I don't know if my dad knows the downtown well, but he knows which street the Metropolis is on, but he just didn't know about parking. You might have just saved me from missing yet another chance to go see Ev. Thanks again! :)

its pleasure to help a fans ;)

Could someone tell me how the metropolis is made inside ?? I mean...if you arrive in late times and you are behind everyone, can you see the scene ??
Or well you understand what I mean right ? :confused:
Thanks !!! :)

Thank you so much! I don't Montreal very well, myself. I don't know if my dad knows the downtown well, but he knows which street the Metropolis is on, but he just didn't know about parking. You might have just saved me from missing yet another chance to go see Ev. Thanks again! :)

Before I start rambling on, just to be sure, we are talking about those big ass 18-wheeler types of vehicles and not some variety of 4x4, GMC truck, etc.

If that is the case then I'm going to have to dissagree that it would be so simple as to find the neerest parking space that is close to a metro station or to the venue. I study in downtown montreal and pass by many of these parking spaces daily and have not, to this day in three years at Mcgill, seen a transport truck parked at one of these locations. It is usually just people's cars. I'm sure it would be possible to find a plausible location but it would be best not to assume that they would allow you to park anywhere. Many of the parking lots downtown are quite small and it would be, in some ways, bad for business to have a truck blocking off a few of the spaces. I don't know what it would cost and where you'd be able to park your dad's truck. I might have to do some investigating. What I do know is that there is a parking lot not too far from the Spectrum (another one of the local venues) that was willing to park a Coach/RV/Tour Bus but at quite a fee. If I remember correctly they had asked for about 2000$ for the day. I tried looking online and there is nothing about the regulations when it comes to parking lots. I'll keep my eyes peeled and will let you know if I see any transport vehicles parked anywhere safe. Another thing to consider is when you'd get in. Because parking on a Friday night in downtown Montreal for anything more then a car or van is difficult, you also have to think that they have to get the truck into the parking spot and with people comming and going these parking lots can get very unorganized to say the least.

If you let me know the specifics of what you guys require I can try to find out where you'd be able to park and what the fee would be, etc.

Yes, it is a big ass 18-wheeler type of truck. Of course, we won't have a trailer hooked on (too much of a risk to take downtown) so it'll just be the truck itself. I don't know what time we'd get in (probably between 6 and 7 pm), but we most certainly won't be in Montreal for the whole day. I think the truck would only need to take up two parking spaces maximum - sort of out of the way, but not out of sight where something could happen to it. I think my dad is seriously thinking about letting me go, but I just want to reassure him that there is a safe place to park his 'baby' out of the way. A friend of his suggested that we park at a restaurant (with a large enough parking lot, of course) and then take a cab or a metro.

You probably haven't seen any big-rigs parked in the metros because most truckers don't have time or need to take a metro. We're an exception, of course! :D

Thank you so much for taking the time to help. This is why I love EvBoard so much - you guys are so willing to help others. <3 :)

There are parking lots all over the place in downtown Montreal and those I normally see are not close to metros. I get lifts to school so usually I notice them about the "entrance" to downtown Montreal. But if it is just to park the actual truck I don't think it would be an issue. Its not that much bigger then the other vehicles so... the only issue would be finding a parking spot at that hour on friday... my best advice would be to base your actions on where you can park.

There are parking lots all over the place in downtown Montreal and those I normally see are not close to metros.

Okay, thanks for replying. :) Now, I just have to convince my dad to go, which will hopefully happen, like ... tonight.

This is my first time ever going to Quebec. :D I can't wait, it's going to be sooo much fun.

I need to brush up on my french though. In case I have trouble finding the venue. "Ou est L'Evanescence???" or something...XD

You should probably says something like: «Savez-vous comment je peux me rendre au Métropolis? Je vais voir Evanescence ce soir et j'ai trop hâte!!!»

lol yeah...that would be a good tryin...but I have a question, and i'll ask it in french so if you know the answer, please mail it to my e-mail address..(in french please) thanks. My question: Les billets pour le concert sont-ils déjà en vite, si oui, où puis-je m'en procurer?

1. Yes they are "en vente"

2. www.ticketpro.ca

3. i think the show is sold out

yep ! the show is Sold Out ! badly i dont buy extra tickets to sold them at a good price :D

lol...

ah well, it was one of the shows that sold out slower then the others... if it was like toronto maybe then you'd be able to make a good profit

If anyone knows anybody with a spare ticket for the Montreal show, I'd be more than happy to buy it from them. If I could get 3 it would be even better, but right now, I'm going with what I can get...

Thanks for the replies re. the ticket ripping.

Now for a few questions.
1) Where are we all coming from to see this show? For ex. I am coming from Ottawa Ontario.
2) I was hoping to score a ride from someone going to the show and was driving. Anyhelp would be much appreciated.
3) I was going to suggest having a group photo taken of all of the EV board members attending the show would this interest anyone?
4) What about eating? I suggest we eat at around 2:30-3:00 and go straight to Metropolis to get in line.
5) How many people are wearing an EV name tag? (I am)

Man October can't come fast enough.

Now for a few questions.
1) Montréal :D
2) well, I can't
3) Ya!
4) I won't be able ot go... I'll be in line auround 4:00
5) I am

I'll be heading to the venue after work, so I won't be there until like 6/6:30.

I like the idea of a group photo:D I'll take it;) I'm not too sure what time I'll be there..I'm coming from toronto!

I'm hopeing to get there and inline by 12...or at least see how many people are there.

Eric...WE'll so save a spot for ya;)

I like the idea of a group photo:D I'll take it;)

For once you should be IN the pic instead of taking it :p

lol but I make a better photographer:D

That's just an excuse not to be in the picture :p

I'll have 4 firends of mine there and 2 are thinking about registering on evboard (two new noobies) but the other two (well one of the two) could possibly take the picture... no one's safe for this time! Mouhahahaha

But when are we getting the picture...? after? ('cause after the show I go behind the Metropolis, so I won't be there for maybe a long time...)

I guess before the show. I am thinking of making a cool sign asking her to play Hello since to my knowledge it has never been played live before. i know it wasn't done at either Montreal 03 or Ottawa 04 shows.

I dont want to discourage you but i dont think she'll sing it cuz she doesnt even remember the lyrics :rolleyes: loll O_O well that's what she said in an old video...:D but it'd be very nice though ^_^

Oh and hum...Id really like 2 know in what time we might come in line...4 ? 5? 6 ? thx !! :)

group pic sounds cool :D I'm going as early as I can to get in line, we have to drive from toronto, sooo I might get there hopefully around lunchtime? I dunno :D or at least around 2 or 3. *shrugs*

I'm just going with my mom actually. or she'll go hang around and go buy me merch so I can stay in the crowd. but I'll see you guys there :D

as for bringing a sign asking her to play hello, they won't let you bring a sign in will they? I'm sure you could just scream it at her and she'd hear :D

but anyhow...since this is my first time going to Quebec...I'm really exited. this show came up really fast!! only like 3 weeks away...

not to get anyone's hopes down or anything but Hello hasn't been played live during a concert to my knowledge. there was some speculation during the previous tours that it was because of the subject of the song. either way, if the band hasn't rehersed it i doubt they would play it.

not to get anyone's hopes down or anything but Hello hasn't been played live during a concert to my knowledge.

It hasn't, but the video there was a video of her posted a while back singing Hello with the guy who bought her old piano (or his friend), so since she has said that she'd never do it live, this has started people talking about it again.

There's a big difference with her playing a song with a single person in her living room, as opposed to thousands of fans at a concert.

I'm pretty sure that that was a one time deal though, and she won't be playing Hello live.

thanks for clearing that up, i knew i had heard that somewhere about her not playing it live but i didn't have a source. its a very personal/emotional song and some artists don't feel comfortable signing those live. Not to mention, that one myspace video that she was in, she probably didn't count on that being released to the general public.

Might I ask what the song is about? With all due respect for Amy, I find it odd if she wouldn;t sing it becuase of the subject matter being too personal, as my #1 singer Tori Amos has a song called "me and a gun". Which is about a night after a concert when in the late 80's when before she was signed to Atlantic records, and still palying the L.A bars doing a bad version of Pat Benatar. Well she offered a regular patron a ride home and he ended up pulling a knife on her, and then raping her. Also many songs off of her 1998 album "from the choirgirl hotel", Spark being one of them and my all time fave song from anyone EVER, deal with a painfull unexpected miscarraige she had at the 3 month point in her pregnancy. Too each their own I guess, but I am just saying that if someone can sing about that, and Amy finds Hello too painful to sing, it must be about something "horrible".

It is at Amy's own discretion to chose which songs she wishes to sing live. Some artists find it easier to sing songs about rape, emotional turmoil, etc. Some people feel it is too difficult to do so and some find that it mends the wound to sing certain songs over and over while on tour. However, as Amy has stated in the past that she won't sing it live. If I'm not mistaken the song covers the same event that "Like You" covers on "The Open Door". Interviewers have asked Amy about that event in the past and it always seems to effect her quite a bit, just talking about it. I'm guessing that's why she won't sing the song live.

From the Like You thread:
The most personal on The Open Door is “Like You”. “It is about something that’d hard to even talk about but feels good to write about,” explains Lee. “It’s about my sister who passed away when I was a little girl. I was 6 years old and she was 3. It’s affected my life and definitely affected my music writing, and it’s made me who I am. It’s one of those things that happens early enough in life that it forms you. I think in a lot of ways I made it a thing that I can use in a positive way in my life. I’ve learnt from it and grown up, and I’ve always felt older. Twenty-four sounds young to me, it’s weird.”
Having lost a sister at such a young age put things in perspective for Lee, who says she cherishes making music and wants to love. “What else is there?” she ponders. “I don’t care about the stupid things as much as I would if I hadn’t been through that. The song [‘Like You’] is about me from the perspective of a child back then, and I go back to that place a lot of times. I went there and wrote the song that way. It’s not the kind of thing that I would normally say on a megaphone in front of millions of people.”
“It’s something that changes you,” the singer stresses. “I love her, and I will always love her. Her spirit is always with us. I feel like I’ll always want to have a little place for her on every record. On the last record, it was ‘Hello,’ and I wrote that from the perspective of a child. I was talking about it in a little bit of a different way, but it’s the same inspiration."

Ok thanks well then I guess I won't ask for it then. Oh well it figures every artist I like has at least one song I like that they never or rarely play live. Hello will forever be my elusive Evanescence song.

Wow only 24 days away! For the questions:
1) Im coming from Ottawa but I'll be busing there cause my moma can't drive but she's coming with me
2) see above haha
3) That would be really awesome!! I had a dream that amy and all of us took a picture together haha:p . My friend whos also coming isnt on the board so maybe she can take some too
4) I think I'll be taking the 12pm bus and go around but that would be cool too
5) I certainly am!! I feel special with it on

If the show ends before 12 I can go around. My bus comes at 11:59 and if I miss that I get the 2:00 am one. Plus, I'm way excited Friday just happens to be a P.D. day at school so I can leave earlier!! I'm just sad they don't allow cameras.

I'm just sad they don't allow cameras.

That's not stopping me. (If I can swing it I might use my digital camera to video record 2-3 FULL SONGS)

Wow my dream's gonna come true ^_^
Only 2 weeks left :D
Haha I am so excited

YESSS it's gonna be awesome!! can't wait!!

Am I the only one that hasn't receive the tickets by mail yet? I'll have to call them if they don't get here soon.

no we haven't gotten them either. :(

Am I the only one that hasn't receive the tickets by mail yet? I'll have to call them if they don't get here soon.

Yeaa, I was gonna ask about that too. My mom was getting worried so she called them and they said if they don't come in the mail 2 days before the concert to call them back...or pick them up at the box office, which shouldn't happen because we paid extra for delivery. :confused:

The only reason why they could wait to mail them is to prevent people from selling them on ebay. Kind of hard to sell a ticket you don't have ;)

Loosing tickets in the mail happens, but not to everyone that bought some. They better wake up and start mailling them.

they better!! it would be good to have them before the day of the concert

That's weird, I got the tickets like a week or 2 after I bought them, which means I've had them for more than a month now.

I bought mine the day of the onsale and I got mine in the mail about 1 week later. So can't wait. I NEED THIS SHOW.

i recieved the tickets like 2-3 days after i bought them...but i ordered in the minutes they started to be on sale haha :D

I didnt get my tickets either!
I'm happy I'm not alone I was scared!



so I wanted to know, ... is there an opening band?

I guess we got screwed because we bought them in the presale. That's what we get for buying them before anyone else :(

yeah, we didn't get our tickets either :( i'm sure they'll show up a day before the show lol

do you think there is a chance to have an autograph after the show ? Or we really need to come like 4 hours in advance and wait next to the tour bus and wait for someone to get out ? :confused: Cuz I WANT AN AUTOGRAPH :D And I cant come really early sniff :(

so I wanted to know, ... is there an opening band?

I cheked on evanescence.com, and they say Revelation Theory is gonna tour with the band during their promo tour in north america... Does someone know who they are ?

Here (http://www.revelationtheory.com/home.aspx) is their website

The music playing is pretty nice :)

That depends on which member of the band you'd like to get something signed by. It also depends on the band's schedule and when they are to leave for the next date. I know that the band is supposed to have an afterparty after the Toronto show, if that is the case for the montreal show you might have to wait really long or you might be out of luck. Before the show is a bit of a toss up, nothing says that the band will have a reason to come out of the bus until soundcheck or at all if they are already inside before you get to the venue.

Amy Lee is on Musique + tonight so be sure to watch + sur commande tonight at 5pm

Amy is a NERD hi hi:p

i am :D

i was there...

I am short on cash VERY sick (chest pains, overall tired drained feeling) I want to save some $$$ and I am wondering if someone here could give me a lift to the show. I can pay for gas if need be. I know some people coming down from Toronto, if perhaps you could swing into Ottawa and pick up a fellow Ev board member. I'd hate to miss the show but with all of the Meds I have been prescribed in the last 3 months I am next to broke. (Gotta love that $6.75 an hour.) I have a pullout couch so if you need to crash after the show I can offer that up if that helps. Thanks and I hope someone here can help me out.

my tickets didn't come for a long time, so about a week ago I get my dad (whose house the tickets were mailing to) to call ticketpro, and they said they had the wrong address or an imcomplete address due to a computer something-or-other and the tickets were sent out and then got sent back to them. so now they are resending them.

so guys...call them...seriously.

I knew this sort of thing might happen, lol

Ticketpro needs to start thinking about hiring more people when they cover big shows. I already got my 3 Days Grace ticket that I bought less then a week ago but the Ev ones are nowhere to be found. They are gonna get a call from me.

Ahh I'm getting worried! It's in a weeekk, but I've already called too...a while ago. Maybe they'll come when I stop thinking about them haha.

Yay, but it turns out I'm going to the Toronto one too, I just won tickets today!! See all you guys soon!!!

Well I got my ticket so It is weird that some people here don't have theirs yet.

HAHAH THAT'S COOL!! CONGRATS!! see you there


and ya I haven't gottan mine:(

mine came yesterday. YES! now I can stop worrying... at least about the tickets. Now I can start worrying about how lost we're going to get in Montreal. tee hee.

and abstruse-muse, thats awesome you won! ^^

thats cool hopefully evey one will get theres intime!!:p and mapquest every where you need to go! it's a huge help:D!!!

Hey, my mom finally said that I could skip my last clss of the day to go to the Metropolis earlier... I'm so happy!!!!!

*I'm now a paid subscriber... strange*

I am aiming to be there between 10:00 am-12:00pm, so I will get a good spot on the floor. When do you guys plan on being there.

One day away I can't wait.

I'll be there auround 1 o'clock... couldn't get there any early...

I'll be with one of my friend, but we'll be waiting for 4 other people... I hope no one in the line will get too hangry because we are with them (they'll only come auround 3 / 3:30...)

EDIT... I'll wear a name tag... but don't expect me to talk very well in english... I'm good in english, but when it's live conversation I just loose all my english and I begin to make NO sense...

Todays the 6th!! Hope you guys enjoy the show tonight. Your all sooo luky. :p

I really hope you guys post more information than the people from the first show! Hope you had a good time! :D

15 songs! thats so awesome. Im so glad they kept whisper and imaginary and they done my favourite song ever from ev SWQ! :D cant wait to see them in aus!!!!! :mrgreen:

I have some pics from the show. I also was lucky to snag the setlist and earlier in the day I lucked out with getting Terry and Amy's autographs. Since I am tired and just got in from Montreal(I live In Ottawa l's) I am going to bed but I will post more tomorrow.

Awesome set list. If it had just included 'your star' (and maybe 'lose control') it would've been perfect.

That sounds like the BEST setlist

Revelation Theroy came on at 7:55 and were off at 8:38 Evanescence came on around 9:10 and were off by 10:25. I am going to weed through the pics and put them in my photobucket account and then post some here.

I hope they'll do the rest of TOD in the future. I know our chances to hear Like You live are very slim, but I cross my fingers for Lose Control, Your Star and Cloud Nine.

P.S. Could someone tell us about how much different the new songs are live? And how much different are the old songs now?

Well I thought the old songs sounded the same and the new ones were just like the cd except louder and live.

I hope they'll do the rest of TOD in the future. I know our chances to hear Like You live are very slim, but I cross my fingers for Lose Control, Your Star and Cloud Nine.
IAW that. I hope they'll do more songs in the larger venues. And I still hope they'll do a cover, tho Amy didn't want it to happen. Let's see.

Back on topic. I'm glad you had a great time, guys. I'm looking forward to your reviews and pics. ;)

Ok I went down to the Montreal Evanescence show @ the Metropolis for their club tour in support of The Open Door. I went to the back and waited ALL DAY. I met Terry and got him to sign the group photo in The Open Door CD booklet. Then later I got Amy Lee to sign the same picture. I wanted a picture with her but she said "No I don't have any makeup on." She still looked hot to me. I had to fight for the setlist but in the end I got it. For now here are some pics from the show and 1 of the autographs.

The big difference between the cd and Live was for Lacrymosa, there wasn't the choir in the background...

I wanted to wait at the end, but me and my friends have been standing up like 9 hours...and my feets were dead...

EDIT: I haven't seen any nametag...:(

I wore mine, and I didn't see any either.

Weight of the world,
Going under
SWQ
Haunted
Whisper

That's like the best grouping of songs you could have. I love how they all have an underlying theme to them. They go really well together <3. The one thing that sticks out at me is having Good Enough in the middle and then CMWYS following it. idk I always picture Good Enough being towards the end.

And it's great to hear that Amy's not sounding like the Conan appearance, lol. *suddenly wants to go to his MN show again* ;)

Wow, sounds like an awesome show, and that setlist is just awesome, lucky people XD

What time did they open the doors??
owol it must be the best concert ever... You're luck to meet amy. I wish i have the same luck on monday!!!

So wow, only one opening act?? That's strange.

That's completely normal in the UK, thank goodness. I know the gig we're talking about is outwith the UK, but I just wanted to express that opinion...I would be pretty miserable if they used two or three support bands over here. How much longer can a person hold on to see Evanescence?
Anyway, the gig sounds terrific. It's really nice that so many people from Evboard are getting the chance to meet the band, that they're coming out to sign autographs and things.
:D

Actually, come to think of it...that will be kind of nice.
I stood in line for hours in Atlanta, but it got me right up at the stage.
Then I had to stand through THREE bands, THREE set changes, until EV finally played.
I think my feet and legs were permanently damaged. :(

Since scenceable isn't a PS, she couldn't post this her self, but I told her I would post it for everyone here to read.

I found a pretty good quality video of Lithium from the montreal show on YouTube.

Lithium (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXemuV3QaRE)

Awesome pictures, awesome videos. I can't wait until they tour over here. Looks like this tour will start kicking ass the more shows they do. I have heard/seen Lithium acoustic live, but it will feel so crazily different when they tour!

man it was an awesome show!! I wish I had met up with other evboarders but I didn't notice any..then again I wasn't wearing my name tag:( oh maybe next time!! but it sure sounds like everyone had an awesome time!!!!:D
