#HISTORY TORONTO SEP 19 & SEP 21
1 messages Ā· Page 1 of 1 (latest)
hello
I wasn't expecting this many Toronto people
goated
toronto is big?
one of the biggest in NA
Moreso since History is small compared to other venues
two descriptions that do not fit history (from the looks of it)
Also wasn't expecting us to overtake everyone else combined LMAO
i honestly expected something more like budweiser
ah
Yeah or Coca Cola coliseum
no yeah some toronto venue is the biggest in north america š¤Ŗ
this is best case tho honestly
yeah i'd much rather this than massive stadium
he's slightly too big for history but this means reasonably priced floor
im curious the nuance of that... is floor generally more expensive?
it's weird
or is that for like stadiums
so at small venues floor is cheaper usually
same
at stadiums floor becomes like 1.5-2x more expensive
yo clearly ticketmaster didnt expect that many of us either
i saw 350 in queue at one point on Edge for saturday
triple toronto date next tour???? š
its not over for me guys
on Firefox i got into queue and it just said first in queue immediately lol
guess i was quick
same lol
my friend saw more than 400
Yeah there's a likely chance a Friday show will happen
actually true
GA still available
wait
92
Mysterious gap between Thursday and Saturday
yeah i was going to say weird time for a break lol
i don't think can see if history has anything scheduled there
wait wdym by GA
but if they do it feels odd to tear down and undo that for two shows 2 days apart lol
Something something if Saturday sells out and Thursday does well, they'll announce a Friday show
elaborate
yea history has a slot open on sept 20
floor
thanks
general admission fr
Godspeed
^^
it's common enough
They did it at Rebel for Illenium
i guess its reasonable if they don't strictly know the turn out
maybe
and if they see both thursday and friday sell out then they can say aight lets go for it
Had the July 1st show sold out and then announced another show for June 30th
he has a day open before toronto too so he prob wont need a break
no breaks allowed!
5 days in a row ez
i mean like i said i doubt history will go through the hassle of tearing down for another artist in between thu and sat lol
glad i got sat anyhow (woops)
avoids me needing to worry about college classes messing up shit lol
im actually not in uni yet but by the time hes at HISTORY i will be
facts
which is crazy af to me
Different promoter
Rebel is ass anyways
i mean it seems like a fairly simple concept
Rebel is ink, History is embrace
"damn we sold out toronto hella fast, lets do a third show"
or "damn, we did as expected, lets not do a third show"
sat sold out sure but thursday still lingering lol
hey guys
now the real question is will my damn ticketmaster app let me sign in
not exactly urgent but i would like to have this stuff sorted
Iām hoping for a dj set instead
noice
bro if he does that im going to 
Manifesting Virtual Self on Friday
It would be siiiiccckkk. Maybe at a smaller embrace venue
Would 100% be 19+ though
@quiet quiver
i feel a little dumb for asking š„
I mean I didn't see anything say that
so I'd assume no
I assume that would complicate matters for you so for your sake I hope it ain't
Going on mf Thursday rahhh
i saw it says all ages
bringing my 9 year old brother to ride the rail (it said all ages)
Show is all ages
Oh whoops someone already responded
Itās AA
But if thereās a dj set, itāll be 19+
whats the logic behind that lol
Itāll be at a club for a Friday
All of embraceās club venues are 19+
gotcha
Additionally, ODESZAās DJ set for NYE was 19+ at history
Whereas their main shows were AA
figured
Could you imagine
A porter dj set at velvet underground
OR THE DRAKE
those would sell out instantly tho lol it would suckkkk
Yessir
YUH š£ļø CHAEWON SUPREMECY
noooo i missed the presale event
Yeah they added a few more VIP. Around 3pm last night it was fully sold out
Thursday is probably gonna sell out as well. There was non-presale GA available last night and now I see thatās sold out. Only Amex tix, platinum and VIP now
mildly surprisingly still some available for thursday GA
I am really excited for this
Did anyone get VIP? I feel like it isn't worth it (not to criticize anyone who got it)
AA is probably increasing prices too
if a show is 19+ tickets can be cheaper bc the venue can make that money back through alcohol
I didnāt
Hey History peeps.
People who have tix - is the ticket actually showing up as a tangible, ready-to-scan thing? Seatgeek has yet to transfer me the ticket (re-sell)
This is my first concert since 2019 so I came into purchasing them pretty clueless.
scannable no, transferable yes
Do they not sell alcohol at all ages events? Feel like that'd be a bit stupid in terms of business
guess they'd have to ID but im sure they wouldn't exactly be counting pennies lol
They do sell it at AA events. Its more of an insurance thing iirc
like it costs more to insure an AA event
ah gotcha, interesting
Damn i guess i was really late, i doubted that saturday GA sold that quickly. Any chance they convert VIP packages back into GA options or itāll just stay like that until all sell out š
Thereās a chance they release more tickets however I donāt think that will happen until week of or so
I think theyāll leave them as VIP for as long as possible
Yeahhh i honestly saw thursday had GA for a while, but i really wanted to go on the Saturday
Yeah Saturday sold out first. Both appear to be sold out now
Mhmm well Iāll keep an eye out š
Best of luck!
If anyone sees anything pop up for Saturday let me know š„¹
If you can pay a bit more, stubhub has them for $50 cad over face
Good looking out! I plan on going with 2 other friends so if they're ok with it maybe consider it if no more GA options pop up š«
Of course! Hope you all make it š
Should be an amazing show
Yeahhh I've been listening to porters stuff since 2017 so really wanna go! especially since History is a bit more intimate than a stadium
Anybody else in here see him at the Koolhaus in 2014? It was my first concert ever, grade 9.
Damn nah I wish. I lived in Calgary back then so I never saw him until 2021
Whereād you see him? Veld?
Phoenix, LA, Veld
Where would you have preferred it?
I feel like history or Coca Cola were the only two reasonable choices. History has better ttc options so Iām fine with it
Danforth is too small
Echo beach seems to be MIA last year and this year
Budweiser is too big tbh
Honestlyā¦Budweiser.
Heās playing venues with 15 to 20k capacity on this tour.
Actually yeah Coca Cola decent choice as well
Coda wouldāve been better, Budweiser with his kind of music is an awful venue imo
Ngl he couldnāt sell out Budweiser for sure
Odesza didnāt
Coda is far too small for this
Maybe for an after party
But not for the tour
No way. Coda is 1000 people max
Nvmā¦550 people. Lmao
Thatād be an awesome after party if ya ask me
Would be sick š¤š¤š¤
2 sold out Toronto shows calls for an after party
Odesza are so corny.
Iād be so happy
Nah theyāre so amazing
And just comparison wise, they headlined ACL, porter isnāt
So idk if porter would be a good fit for Budweiser
Saw Nora en pure at rebel not too long ago, crowd was terrible. Absolutely despise Rebel lol
rebel is ASSSS
i havent been to the rebranded toybox yet
but im sure its also lowkey ass
Which day did everyone end up getting tickets for??
Both
Saaaaaaaaame
I've heard Budweiser's audio is pretty bad for EDM
I've actually heard it's WAY better, talking to my friends that have been
Better AC + lighting, more room and they removed the god awful shin breaking tables
Actually this is a lie. I saw Caroline Polachek at Queen Elizabeth last year. Thatās a pretty good venue.
Rufus du sol at Budweiser was not as enjoyable as the year before imo
I also got tix for both nights
Saw Odesza at Budweiser stage and it was the worst show I've been to, made the mistake of getting tickets for the grass in the back
I'm usually not one to complain about what other people in the crowd are doing but it was to the point where I literally couldn't hear the music over the chatter, definitely need to get seated tickets closer to the stage next time
Sounds about right for the lawn
Lawn is legit āletās hang out while a show is occurringā
Similar to 500s at a jays game
Yeeeeh learned that the hard way
So happy weāre all in agreement here lol
Sound at Budweiser is fine closer to. I saw dabin there and was 200s
Was fine sound
Look out for the guy with this tattoo on him this Septemberš just got this im so happy
(It looks crooked bc of the angle donāt worry itās not lol)
1⣠19th
2⣠21st
Love that!
Thanks!!
Watching second sky 2021 and getting all teary eyed š„¹ so excited for September!!!!!!
Howās everyone liking Russian roulette??
I feel like it's like KYO where I have to listen to it a few times for it to really slap
But I'm vibing with it so far
LOVE it. i agree that it isnt hitting as much as cheerleader on the first few listens, but neither did mirror and thats my favourite nurture track now
I LOVE IT SO MUCH probably my favourite out of the three :D
Same here!! Canāt wait to hear it live
Gunna be screaming my heart out at this show dude
ayyy porter tattoo gang
i love the little sakura miku in your pc
Love that
šššššmy beloved
guys we all have to scream "yay" and "boo" at the end of the song like the stock sound effect
russian roulette is gonna be the best song to listen to live. especially that last beatdrop
Totally agree, so stoked to tell yay and boo LOL
Yāall donāt make me pull these out again ugh š
Uno
Dos
Tres
THESE ARE SO COOL šš
I like em! :3
I love them!!!
Especially this one, very unique
Thank you ššš
hey yall, i just joined the server. I'll be going to the sep 21 one :)
i got two tickets but im not going with anyone tho š
Better hear some fresh static snow come September.
@glossy willow your going with us dog!
Ya
It gunna be fun (āį“Ķˬį“Ķ)
happy canada day portercord
Cant wait to meet up with everyone lol, ill make extra candy
Super excited
I also have a (subtle) porter tattoo
Got it in Oakland when I went to Second Sky 2022
Is Porter tattoo gang destined to have a meetup
I'm going to both shows! I'm down
Same!! Letās do it (totally going alone before I joined the portercord)
am going just Thursday ;-; anyone else
Iāll be thereš«”
Would anyone like to do a trinity bellwoods meetup?
So so Iš¬
Wait but if the shows are History would it make more sense to meet up somewhere nearby? I'm gonna be coming from work on the Thursday and traffic will be hectic
oh i thought yall meant like beFORE the concert
like the weekend before the september dates fjdsal
Thatās what was thinking!
I plan on being at the venue first thing Thursday morning
Damn wtf
Taking the day off to be first at history?
Thatās exactly what Iām doing!
Why tho
Funny monkey. And maybe better chance at merch. And the pit. Probably.
How does it work with food and bathroom tho.
Iām tryna meet Porter thatās why (a guy can dream okay)
Saturday > thursday
Who goes to concerts on Thursdays. If u get blasted u lose Thursday and Friday for work š
Thatās why I took Friday off! And also going Saturday
More fun that way
Also waiting to see if Porter does a secret set Friday
Do you think the sets will be diff
Bros gonna get blasted 3 nights in a row?
Torontonians man
I swear Iāve been to shows every day of the week living here
Probably not, but thereās a possibility a couple songs are swapped here and there
If that happens you better bet he plays the best ones on saturday š¤·āāļø
Iāll be at both so itās chill
Also doing a different show Friday night
We cooking
How much did u get ur tickets for if u don't mind me asking
Wut
Face value, Amex presale
How much was that
Cad?
Yeah
A couple weeks before I got my tickets, they were like 224
Then I waited a week and found them for 94
So I'm like
Ok impulse let's go
Regret later
Itās because they converted some VIP to normal
Vip is crazzzy
I just tryna clap my cheeks to russian roulette
Also if VIP had any interaction with porter Iād buy it
Would still be cheaper than my ODESZA M&G so
@hollow pagoda r u going with friends?
Yep
For me I feel like the only benefit for VIP would be early access to get up close
But the issue is like, what if you need to go to the washroom etc. you basically lose your spot
I feel like if you want to go close you'll probably be able to do so right after the opener
And History's stage is fairly wide iirc
Funnily enough JPEGMAFIA also announced a show Sep 19th
But I'd rather go to Porter, even if I'm already going on the Saturday
me flying from vancouver on porter airlines to see porter show
Delete this bc of your order number
Got it
(i thought it doesnt matter lol
Is he not doing a show in Van?
round trip air ticket only costs 200$
Thunderbird arena in UBC
Oh thatās a nice venue
Iām flying to Vancouver in October to see Justice. Theyāre at the pacific coliseum
Some are probably 14-16+ but never a 18+
oh sh*t I have also got the justice ticket
Have been to pacific coliseum twice for seven lions and gareth emery
Nice venue but just remember to line up early
tooks maybe half a hour to get in
I saw him on the worlds tour in 2014 when I was 14 years old and then I saw Madeon the following year for adventure. I know the anxiety of hoping that theyāre all ages shows haha
And then shelter tour in 2016 was 19+ so I couldnāt do it
Rip
my story is I went to the 18+ sydney NL and I got in when Im still 17 super luckily
I would be heartbreaking if i didnt see that one
i hate seeing these two words: "commodore" and "celebrities" lmao
Commodore Ballroom I think was voted as one of the most iconic music venues in North America a few years back
Rebel sucks
what about History
Danforth music hall is the best venue in this city hands down. I canāt speak on history because itās the only one I havenāt been to yet. This will be my first time

I saw Madeon at Danforth in 2015 and then Porter at The Guvernment in 2014 which no longer exists. It was the most iconic night club in the country.
Right on lakeshore
would recommend Vogue theatre in vancouver tho they hardly have EDM shows
history is a great venue
temperature is well regulated
ive heard a lot of good things about it from friends but I'm not too sure personally as i havent gone myself
thus far, I do have high expectations for the venue
hello im contemplating getting tickets for sep 19th but does anyone know what the setlist is going to be
really bummed that he didnt go to toronto for nurtureš
No and he did nurture in Toronto at VELD 2022
EDM shows at History aren't like typical concerts, if you're there that early I think you'll be the only one there for a long time
If anyone has more experience feel free to correct me, I've been to History for three other EDM shows and it was always easy to move around and stuff
Echoing what others have said History is GREAT, way better than Rebel
Good security, good setup, never had an issue with crowding or not being able to see the stage (apart from the typical problems of being 5'2 š„²)
Iām cool with that! Got the whooooooole day off. Just hoping I can somehow catch a glimpse of Porter getting to the venue (hopelessly optimistic I know)
Iāve only ever had bad experiences at rebel unfortunately, Iāll be at royel Otis at history the week before Porter, Iām really looking forward to it
Rebel SUCKSSS
Horrible to get into and I don't like how late the shows go
And horrible to get out of due to the bottlenecking
Right?!?! Location isnāt great either, and Iāve never really vibed with the crowd thereā¦
The crowd is okay at times, but I find History's crowd to be consistently good
Iāve had bad crowds at history, but tbh itās just the type of artist that brings crowds
Porterās crowd should be alright
The closer to the front you are, the harder it is to move which is typical for a GA show
Ahh interesting, I haven't been to that many shows there but that makes sense
I've gone for Odesza, Jason Ross and Purple Disco Machine
It will be harder to move around in the floor area bc both of these shows are very close to being sold out, but the back upper part shouldnāt be maxed out
Odesza floor was packed
I wasn't very close to the front for that so it wasn't too bad where I was
I'll probably try to be as close as possible for Porter
I was in the back and it was packed. Iām expecting the same for porter
Crowd should be fine though
Interesting, maybe I'm just comparing it to Rebel too much
I remember being at Rebel for Alan Walker in 2022 and it was PACKED
Like no room to dance, almost shoulder to shoulder
Yeah rebel is bad
Like history isnāt as packed at capacity, but itās still packed
Rebel oversells
I donāt necessarily agree with that, Nora en pure shouldāve brought a chill crowd to rebel but it was the complete opposite
Yeah because itās rebel
Rebel has its own crowd no matter who the act is bc itās also a club. History is only a venue
Not a club
I donāt think anyone is a fan of rebel
Iāll reluctantly go if the headliner is good enough
See I though Nora wouldāve been a good crowd at rebel
But it wasnāt lmao
Thought*
Hello :P
Do you guys think there will be a major difference in the setlist between the two shows? (19th/21st)
No
Maybe 1 or 2 song changes if anything
Unless he goes TS mode and has surprise songs every night
New song is such a vibe IMO
I actually really enjoy all the mid-tempo songs from the new album
I feel like the shows are going to have such a good balance of hype vs. vibin
Anyone else gonna see Kaytranada at Budweiser
How we feelin about the new song
Its a vibe but probs my least favorite so far, gotta listen to it more tho
Ngl most of the songs werenāt immediate favorites
But good enough to dig their claws into my subconscious and grow on me
Except cheerleader. Immediate ear worm.
Nah. Thereās been so many good tours skipping Toronto recently š¢
Definitely my least fave single. Maybe itāll make more sense in the context of the album
It's growing on me but yeah probs my least fave so far
I think a lot of "clubbers" enjoy Rebel, but not people who go to EDM events
If you check any comments section about rebel, itās always negative
Iāve never met anyone that enjoyed it
Even ppl that just went to club
Ohhh interesting
It's only a summer location for me, the line is FREEZING in the winter
I've only been inside Rebel once and I had a good time haha
for Don Diablo
I liked the ceiling circle things
the Omnia ripoff
hi
I am NOT looking forward to driving into Toronto for this lmao
401 busiest highway in the world baby
Where are you driving in from? Just take the go train?
I might
have to work out the details
So Toronto people what in the heck do we think of the album
Year of the cup hitting so damn hardš„ŗ
I'm really enjoying Mona Lisa
jealous of the ppl going on saturday because then they can say "do you remember the 21st night of september"
album very good.i listened to it at 1 am so it hit different, think i'll listen to it a second time later today
also,,,, if you see a po-uta cosplayer with glowsticks at the concert it might be me
Are you doing kygo on 21st instead?
I know a lot of ppl are doing porter Thurs, kygo sat
nah im just going Thursday
š„² year of the cup would be so good without the lil Wayne part
Ahhhh thatās fair
The talking parts are cool but
I wouldnāt mind versions putting the words more in the back seat ngl
But that might just be the worlds girlie in me speaking
I like spoken word in songs but the lil Wayne one is ass
Like in a sucker for artists like eden that do it
Me like instrumental :3c
Aldershot GO babyyyyyy
Probably what I'm gonna end up doing
Then I'll have to figure out union to history lol
Manifesting London show on September 20
I wish lmao
Worlds tour people were lucky
TTC should get you there without too much hassle
Yeah I moved here in 2019 and was looking up artists that have played here in the past and damn
We don't even have Block Party anymore š¦
Yeah it's dead here lol
lol I donāt think theyāre gonna move everything from Toronto to London for that one night
Yeah not a serious expectation lol.
Although, if they had two setups, they could send one to London on its way to Detroit and keep the other one in Toronto š¤
Lololol
Burlington GO babyyyyyyy
Im hoping Porter just chills on the Friday, he deserves a rest!
Selfishly hoping thereās a dj set Friday night
Idk what venue could host that though
I saw him in Toronto, Guelph and London. I was like 14.
He was playing so many smaller cities on that tour
After parties like that usually happen at CODA
Booked on 20th
Iād say itās totally plausible he announces a dj set on the 20th
I agree
I just donāt know where
Velvet and Drake are too small
History is booked
Danforth is booked
I guess š¤®š¤®š¤®š¤¢š¤¢ rebel if LN wants to rent it out
No shot LN lets him book with ink at rebel
ugh, i dont think i can go so im tryna sell my two tickets
I wanted to see him in london but it was an 18+ event back in like 2015 or whatever
no luck
I hope he does
I just got so nostalgic listening to hollowheart
Wondering where āshe heals everythingā is tho
has anyone been to history before? what does the merch situation look like there? wondering if I should line up before or after the concert
For porter youāll want to line up before the show. Thereās one merch table in the venue and itās located immediately left as you enter the venue
do we know what time doors are at
specifically on thurs
thanks btw, I will be lining up
7pm
Also their prohibited item policy is strict so prepare accordingly
i heard D:
Iāve seen ppl throw out water bottles, bags, etc to get in lolol
Small Fanny packs are ok tho
bruh where am i gonna put all the merch im buying š
Gotta hold it. I canāt remember if tote bags are allowed
man...
they better be
doubt it tho
dont wanna be carrying shit throughout the entire concert
gonna ruin the vibe fs
You can bring a clear tote bag
Same rules as at Scotia and Budweiser
However since history is smaller, I find theyāre more strict
yeah ive been to those venues a lot
but history is newer iirc
so havent been and not familiar with the bag policy
tiyme to invest in a clear tote bage i suppose
Even Budweiser is strict now
Saw someone a couple weeks back not allowed to bring a bag in
I accidentally had my swiss army knife in my pocket when i went to History once lmao, security guy was chill and told me to hide it in one of the decorative bushes in front of the venue and hope it was still there after the show. So I did, and it was š
i bought glowsticks am i gonna make it through
Google my friend
In short, no
more tickets were just added it looks like
NOOOO my precious glowsticks
one thing you could consider is dropping off the merch with coat check
dang guess I'm travelling light then
probably not driving all the way there so I won't have a car to leave stuff in
guess I might have to do that
Iām so tempted to splurge and do both shows ngl
You could always go to the Thursday show and see how you feel for Saturday
People usually sell their tix last min
Hey guys, I just joined the server recently so sorry for being very out of the loop but could anyone fill me in on if there is any sort of meetups planned for people going to the Toronto shows? I'm currently planning on going to the Saturday show solo so I was curious if there are any groups in the works
i'm not sure but what's good gang!!!!! i'm going to the 19th shoooooowww
Itās gonna be awesome!!!!!
Tour merch is fire ngl
Not compared to nurture š¢
just a thought, how the hell that whole stage design gonna fit in history
from the images ive seen, it doesnt seem that big - mind you i aint even been
I haven't seen the whole setup (avoiding spoilers) but generally they have flexibility to rearrange/scale things depending on the stage. They might leave some things out, make the screen(s) smaller, etc.
hopefully not too much anyhow
literally my first concert im going to, watched far too many recordings tho :p
Here's a clip I took a few years ago @ history FWIW. It's not the biggest stage in the world but big enough to fit some stuff
mmmm yeah does look a lil cozy
Yeah definitely seems like a good size venue, just maybe needs a higher ceiling? š
You guysā¦
The videos from MGM look SO good.
Holy fuck
I am a little concerned about the size of history for this show though! Like obviously thereās no way he can bring the full scale show.
i imagine they have a ||smaller version of the... basically billboard||
Same thing happened when I saw him for worlds live, venue sucked. One tiny little screen.
another possibility is theyll just ||scrap the billboard, and it would just be all on one screen as like a virtual thing, which would be kinda lame but probably most practical||
Maybe!
im sure it'll be a good time regardless, and ultimately its all the same music
not like they'd go "yeah venue too small, we had to cut out porter"
Agreed, also this tour doesnāt rely THAT heavily on visuals
lights go brrrt
But I wonāt lie to you, I did not fully enjoy his Toronto show for worlds. After seeing the massive screens all over social media and then we got what we got⦠I was let down
via YouTube Capture
I was standing just a couple feet to the right of this angle
Anybody who was way in the back was fucked
that seems quite a bit cozier than history atleast
and maybe too cozy :p
whatever the case im sure itll be a good time, will just be interesting to see how it comes to be in history
Fun fact this venue no longer exists. Iām an old man
okay but ||big cat better be there or else its a scam||
|| I'll riot if there's no big cat, or BALLS||
How do you grey out the text.
| | hello | |
no spaces
||test||
there you go
Ah there we go
Thank you
||that live version of unfold is fucking superb, Iāll cry when I hear it live.||
||guarantee you itāll be there but smaller, Iām also wondering if heāll use the same inflatable at every show or heāll change it up sometimes||
||if they take the massive one and its smooshed into history that is also fitting what with the album art :p||
||as much as I would love that, itās probably a safety violation lol||
from what i read in here, no and depends
I donāt know, but the venue is owned by Drake so if youāre under 18 itās a free show.
i did read theres water fountainy things and you can ask the bars for a free cup
had to pay $121 i dunno about that 
for $90 or whatever i paid you get the privledge of not bringing your own water
121!!!!! American Express pre-sale?
mmm that would do it
Oh ok yeah
i was debating seats for so long
Iām wondering if I shouldāve gotten mezzanine now
yeah now i feel like i shouldve gotten mezzanine lol
my intent is to just chill behind the foh area (if i can) since its a bit elevated
The show looks the best the mezzanine
*from the
So honestly that was the right call @analog yoke
yeah and i bought it for the saturday show too
going through the hassle of shuffling tickets prob aint worth it for the mezzanine
for me anyway, ill live on the floor :p
||live edit of fresh static snow is crazy||
so cheap
History is really really good about free water
Probably one of the best venues in Toronto for it tbh
If youāre on rail, security usually has bottled water
If youāre in the back, go to the bar
thats nice to hear
dont think ill make it to the rail though if im being real with myself lol
but if i see a opening i may...
all to be seen
I just hope ||confetti can still go off cause|| KYOXD and Cheerleader are gonna be euphoric
||it will||
||they'll just have to point it directly into the crowd, rail will get blasted||
||intro to something comforting is so emotional||
whatās good gang
iāve got a ticket for 9/21 that iām selling
my homie couldnāt come with
So apparently Porter is playing a DJ show in NYC
It probably increases the chances of him playing one on the Friday between the two shows
Also happy to organize a meet up!
I agree. That shit better not be at rebel
Whatās wrong with Rebel?
Itās always oversold, shitty air circulation so itās always hot, the balcony makes for terrible sight lines from the floor unless youāre right on the rail, which makes everyone push forward
Location is hard to get to
Pretty much everything about the venue besides the lights and the chandelier is bad
Meh, itās a 20 minute bus ride from Union station.
I agree itās fucking hot as balls in there.
Thats until you account for the traffic of Ubers and taxis going to rebel
And the way back is even worse
Also the pickpockets are unreal at rebel, compared to other venues
Well that depends on the artist and what kind of audience they have.
I live in Guelph so Iām used to waiting half an hour for a bus, bus rides being 40+ minutes long etc but yeah it is annoying I guess.
Nah tbh rebel as venue is just known for ppl, regardless of artist playing, going to pickpocket others. Itās so bad that there are signs in the bathroom warning ppl of the increase in pickpockets
I was just there for Santigold and didnāt see those signs, audience was super chill and respectful.
Yeah realistically itās a 30-40 min bus ride to rebel from union. Last time I was in an Uber to rebel and the guy straight up told me I should get out and walk bc it would take so long to get to the venue
Signs must be new, but I guarantee you that some ppl were pickpocketed. I had a friend pickpocketed on a random night. everyone in the Toronto edm scene hates rebel. look at the comments for any big artist announcement at rebel lol. Always begging for a diff venue
Itās the same management as the Guvernment which also sucks so Iām not surprised. Yeah like I donāt doubt thereās been pickpockets at all however I do think that who you go and see makes a difference.
I saw Porter at the Koolhaus (live music section of the now- defunct nightclub The Guvernment) for Worlds tour and oh my god it sucked.
Ink blows
Did you ever go to the Guvernment/koolhaus? They tore it down in 2015. Porter was one of the last acts
@hollow pagoda
The Guv was a legendary venue, all the greats have played there.
Danforth is still the best venue Iāve been to in Toronto
Yup youāre fighting for an Uber once the show ends too, had a driver cancel on us then took 15 minutes to secure another.
I had a taxi tell me he wanted $70 to take me to king and Spadina
I laughed
Exact same experience here lmao
Haha yeah itās terrrrible
50 dollars to go to woodbine beach not as bad as you but holy fuck
I drive and don't drink so could figure something out--is parking hectic
so guys is VIP worth it??!?!?!!!!!! considering upgrading!!!!
I wanna be barricade
I really hope they make it work
hello!!! im coming from philly to the 21st date bc im originally from buffalo ny and my friends and i are going. i was wondering if there are any good hotels near the venue any of ya'll recommend?
Toronto hotels are super expensive
No hotels really near the venue, you'll probably want to stay closer to downtown and take the 501 streetcar to history
Sheraton Centre is my fav downtown hotel, especially if you happen to have Bonvoy Platinum or higher status because their lounge is amazing
Parking at History is fine IME
thank you!!
Aparently they're upgrading the Manchester show to a larger venue due to demand. Get all your friends to buy tickets and maybe they'll move it to Coca-Cola Coliseum š
everything is already sold out except the table seats
GA been sold out for a while now
tbh i prefer history still
just hope they can fit the billboard in
I mean real talk a venue upgrade would be cool
feels a bit big for 2 nights tho
The new casino would be good, looks like it's taken though
fuck it bro im doing vip
Plsss no. Thatās so annoying to get to via transit
I donāt think theyāll move it from history though
Itās usually a move from danforth to history
Lots of parking, great for us out of towners š
Ahh haha. Fair. But yeah itās not moving
As someone said, theyāre both pretty much sold out
If they were gonna move it, they wouldāve done it by now
Soooo uhhh me and my ex broke up recently and now I have an extra ticket, like none of my friends listen to Porter D:
Thursday show
I hate history so much š¤£
I want Madeon at the Casino so bad
lol why
Iāve never travelled alone but I got no friends who wanna go so I might try taking the train and making my way myself possiblyā¦
Does anyone know what time the 21st show would roughly end at?
judging by his previous stories on ig, it'll be
6:00pm - doors
7:00pm - ericdoa
8:00pm - porter
10:00pm - shows done
where are you coming from lol
cuz imo it'llbe worth it
even if you go alone
ive heard such good things about this show
im so hype
Closeish to Burlington
I just donāt wanna end up not being able to get home lmao
anyone wanna meetup for the Toronto show??? (Iām from Ohio so Iām looking for some new friends :0!)
Show will go to 11
Doors are 7pm per Ticketmaster
^^
on Ticketmaster the start time is when ericdoa starts for the other shows
History website also says doors 7, show 8
Friend might let me crash at their house if getting back doesnāt work⦠hm
Wonder if I can take the Go closer to history vs getting off at union
Seems like Danforth go is closer to history? But Google maps wants me to get off at Union and take the street car instead
Meh I'll just get off at union
im so hopeless with public transit im having my sister guide me on how to get to history lol
(i am not a torontoer)
I feel that lmao
@visual marlin i assume youād have to transfer from lakeshore west to lakeshore east which is why google tells you to get off at union
Might have to look into Uber as well
Avoiding the TTC at 11pm is probably a good idea
@quiet quiver @graceful tendon thereās streetcar and bus stops right outside history. Depending on where youāre going, Iād say take the bus from history to coxwell and ride the subway from there
TTC is fine until 1am tbh. Just be smart
Iirc I TTCād home after odesza at history
I have no idea what to expect
Been like 11 years since the last time I rode the TTC lol
Lolol thatās fair
Youāll see some seedier individuals but itās fine
Iāll probably take the streetcar home
Streetcar to union seems like an easy albeit long option
Getting home is gonna be an ordeal lmao
Tbh I'm more concerned about what to do with any merch I end up buying lol
Guess I can always wear it home
If you need to catch a go train, Iād agree probably Uber to union
But if youāre not pressed for time, TTC is fine
My plan I guess is to just get to union and then take whatever train is next lol
Gotta figure out costs still
If youāre going Saturday night it may be expensive to get an Uber, but thursday will be a bit cheaper
I'm doing the Thursday show
You should be fine. Right after the show itāll be hard and expensive to get an Uber, but maybe 20 mins after will be normal
Ah yeah
yo we here!
TTC's fine if you have like at most an hour to spare from Union.
am personally stick to both TTC all the way because 503's more reliable (and cheaper) in my experience
Sure, what day are you going?
drake skibidi would like to know your location
saw a vid from Atlanta, seems like the solution to fitting the big ol ||billboard in smaller venues is to simply make the billboard basically be the entire main screen||
does it look as cool?
its... a bit different
oh...
i mean you can find the videos yourself
still a good time, just ||its basically all billboard||
They wonāt be able to
Itās such a small ass stage
Theyāll just use the screen at history to show the visuals
Wait actually Iām looking at the Coca Cola Roxy and the stage sizes are similar
They might
yeah was about to say this
I think they got this
Saturday
Perfect, I'm going that day too
Is anyone going to the Thursday show/how early are you getting to the venue
18
How about you?
22
ok
Ok I added you
Yes and idk probably like 30-45 mins after doors open
I showed up to Jeremy Zucker (also sold out) at a similar time and got in before he went on
yeah i think their "small stage" setup is to just make billboard basically be the whole video wall
seems to work well from the coca cola roxy clips
Yo I just realized the saturday show is on the 21st night of September pog
We will all remember the 21st night of September
So I know that there will be quite a few songs played without his band it seems
This will be a cool show, having a mix between band/djing
Anyone want to meet up for the 19th?
Need an option for both :p
truuuu
If I had the money I would
same haha 19th for me
what time yall lining up? haha
I think I land in toronto at like 7AM
omg i just discovered something crazy
air canada is doing free reschedules for flights between sept 14th and sept 24th (union negotiations or something)
so theoretically I could reschedule my return flight to the 22nd and see BOTH SHOWS
for $115 CAD (current GA price)
Itās because of a pilot strike so I wouldnāt be too hype about the situation considering your flights may be impacted
i hope not hahaha
Thats my extremely optimistic take
If youāre flying Sept 18 or 19, I would highly highly suggest changing your flights. Within Canada it seems like theyāre working with WJ and porter, but itāll probably mean significant delays. If youāre flying from the states, call to get put on united asap
The timeline seems to be a full shutdown of mainline air Canada flights
As early as the 15th
yikes i didnt know it was this bad. i was planning on flying in domestic on the morning of the 19th (air canada)
do you think I'd be safe flying in on the 20th and leaving on the 22nd?
Safest would be cancel and rebook with another carrier. Sounds like they expect that whole period to be a wash.
This will probably be similar to the WJ strike back on Canada Day
non-refundable tickets š
thats on me
but they're letting me rebook any date for free
Rip
maybe I rebook incoming flight to the 17th? š
Idk what Iād do in your situation. Maybe wait until they cancel and rebook you on WJ or Porter
true
If youāre on a jazz flight youāll be ok probably too
I'd rather not go on the 17th loss
ooo interesting okay ill keep that in mind
perhaps i can rebook to jazz on the 19th as intended
Yeah if youāre doing like YUL to YTZ on jazz itāll probably be fine
But if youāre doing something like YWG to YYZ on mainline, youāre probably cooked
That route is probably fine
Iād miss the rouge flights tho
damn its almost all rouge
Iād say thereās a strong possibility random rouge flights will be cancelled and put on main routes
I'd hate to get sent to like ottawa and connected 3 hours later
I meant theyāre probably gonna take those rouge planes and pilots that can fly and put them on routes like YVR-YYZ, YYC-YYZ, etc to stem the bleeding
They run flights to small cities like Windsor pretty much only to feed into mainline connections, so it doesnāt make sense to keep them around when you canāt connect to anything
h m ?
that makes sense
respect for this š
I appreciate all your help
For sure! Best of luck and I hope there are no bumps in your travels š
I mention all of this bc I had to switch a flight I had for this weekend lol
Out of caution for the strike
and you just switched airlines i presume?
Yes
Where are you flying from? I'm just taking the train over.
I would book a refundable Porter/WestJet flight as a backup option now if you have that option
AC has said they'll do rolling cancelations with maximum 72 hour notice
Probably less
does porter give discounts for porter (Robinson) fans
yes
use code SMILE for a 50% discount
use code smile for free mezzanine upgrade
I heard if you get a first class ticket to a show with Porterā¢ļø and use code SMILE you get a complimentary bottle of EstĆ©e Lauderā¢ļø Night Serum (and they fix your teeth)
Also I officially got tickets to both shows in case Air Canada delays me and I miss the 19th
impossible at this point unfortunately
banking on air canada
HELLO PEOPLE
JUST GOT MY TICKETS FOR THE THURSDAY MWAHAHAHA
how are yāall doing?
anybody else seeing porter on thursday here too? :DD
How were the prices?
i got a verified resale one for ga for 111
i honestly got so lucky for that one
hopefully!
thats about how much my friday ticket was too
got my thurs ticket for only $70 tho š
wtfff
bought mine during presale
no way š what a snatch
face value is like $91
itās always the service fees that get you
same its crazy
ME TOO RAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i upgraded to VIP so mine was more than $91 but cheaper than if i just straight up bought vip
idk
confusing
IM SO HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
worth it tho, i think that pays for venue security/ammenities š
nope
true true, it does make sense why it exist but that sting that i feel when i do pay for it never does go away š„²
its bad with airlines too
some airports have flat fees
learned that booking this trip haha
if you land at pearson you pay like $2 extra or something
airplane tickets are whole other bag of bullshit that i still canāt believe that we pay for šµāš«
PORTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
HELL YEAH PORTERRRRR
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@EVERYONE PLEASE SHJOWER BEFORE THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!
god, itās gonna be so good and so fulfilling for me
itās gonna be my first time ever seeing him live
LOL
SAME
been a fan since worlds
gonna be magical
SAME!
SAME!
Pearson's fees are nuts
HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHHH
And I might get to see it TWICE
FUCK YEAHHHHHHH
assuming air canada doesnt fuck me
SEE YAāLL SOOOON
where you flying from?
NO WAYYY
way
everything is wacky up here
i used to go there every summer
born and raised in london tho!
had the same problem whenever i had to fly to toronto
itās pretty up there when you had something to do! but i always hated the winters there
yeah winters here are NASTY
but the whole NO area is beautiful
lake superior is awesome
and somehow terrifying
it is indeed! i loved it so much when it was summer and fall there, the views are just so gorgeous
I live in London now, driving in for the show š
oh shit cheers 519er!
i agree with you on that wholeheartedly š«”
always lived there? how are you liking it?
the Thalassophobia hits different
Moved here 2019, it's a great city for families/kids I would say
Im not a legit 519er though, still rocking my Kingston 613 phone number š
definitely, going up to the beaches would just consist of these sometimes
always made me weary seeing these signs up
kingston is very nice too!
yeah those are freaky
luckily never got swimmers itch
me too, i always used to dry off immediately cause those signs got me worried
@wide apex ever been to havilland?
i actually havenāt
itās extremely gorgeous, 30mins or so north of the soo
part of batchewana bay basically
yis :3
Been staying there in my august vacations
sorry, sometimes i have no idea where my family and friends would take me sometimes, i was just a passenger princess in the drive up
i feel you
that was me going to pancake bay from the soo
had no idea where i was going but it was a long drive hahaha
exactly! thatās me, too, had no idea the whole time when weāre driving
@bitter wyvern are you flying on the day of the concert?
i wanna go to Old Woman Bay
yes š thursday morning
hopefully
HOPEFULLY
so real! so many great little nooks and spots up there in the highway between wawa and soo
like the robertson cliffs for example, itās so beautiful up there in the fall
thatās crazy š i hope your flight goes thru without any delays š«”
let me guess, youāre flying porter?
same but with the pilot strike iām not so sureā¦
Air⦠Canadaā¦
non-refundable
god šš
I just hope it doesnāt get cancelled, just delayed, and at most delayed like 24-48h so i can still see the 21st show
