Rush 2011 Time Machine Tour pre-sale info and open thread

Wed, Jan 19, 2011@8:21AM | comments removed/disabled

UPDATE - 1/21@12:01PM: The Live Nation pre-sale password for all dates is ROCKSTAR (Thanks Barry G).

UPDATE - 1/21@11:50AM: The Austin Music Today pre-sale looks like it closed a little early. The others should be up until 12PM (local venue time).

UPDATE - 1/20@3:00PM: It looks like the Vancouver show will be at the Rogers Arena on June 30th according to the iPhone app (thanks again hermy).

UPDATE - 1/20@1:48PM: According to some reader reports, the Rush iPhone app was just updated with the news that Rush will be playing Vancouver on June 30th. No further details are yet available. Here's a screenshot courtesy hermy.

UPDATE - 1/20@12:19PM: Oops. I was a day early on the radio, Live Nation and venue pre-sales; those will take place tomorrow. Carry on...

UPDATE - 1/20@8:55AM: Various radio, Live Nation and venue pre-sales will take place today from 10AM until 5PM (local venue time) for the shows in El Paso, Phoenix and Los Angeles. The Live Nation password is usually the same across all venues; as soon as I have that I will report it here but it sounds like it might be BU2B. For any radio pre-sales, just check your local rock radio station website. These pre-sales generally don't yield the same quality of seats as the fan, Rush VIP and CITI pre-sales.

UPDATE - 1/19@2:52PM: It's been a busy afternoon so I apologize for the lack of updates. As of 2 hours or so ago, pre-sales for all 6 dates are underway. For those of you wondering about the remaining 7 dates, those will be going on fan pre-sale next week although we are still awaiting the official announcement from Rush - which should come early next week.

UPDATE - 1/19@10:52AM: Note that the Austin date is listed at Ticketmaster but tickets are actually sold via evenue.net. That site has this link listed for the CITI pre-sale and the page currently says Starts Wednesday, January 19 at 10:00AM. The Rush VIP pre-sale should begin at 10AM through the main ticket link. I guess we'll see what happens in 10 minutes or so. :)

UPDATE - 1/19@10:45AM: Pre-sales for the New Orleans and Austin shows begin in about 15 minutes. For the fan pre-sales, be sure to go to the Music Today site and register if you haven't already. No password is required for fan pre-sales. Once registered you can login and you will then see all 6 dates listed on the Music Today site with a link that says ticket info. Once the pre-sale begins, this link will change to say buy tickets. You'll need to refresh your web browser around 10AM (LOCAL venue time) to see this link. Then you click on buy tickets and you are on your way. Don't be afraid to throw away tickets that you don't want and try again. The system will also occasionally get backed up and say that there aren't tickets available. Just keep trying and something will show up eventually. For the CITI cardmember and Rush VIP pre-sales, simply go to the Ticketmaster website. No passwords are required for CITI and Rush VIP pre-sales either, although you'll need to enter the first 6 digits of your CITI Card for the CITI pre-sale. For more details see my guide to ticket pre-sales. Good luck!

Late Monday night Rush.com sent out a newsletter announcing the remaining North American dates for Rush's 2011 Time Machine Tour. This summer leg of the tour will include 13 dates in 12 cities. Dates and venues for the 11 US cities on this leg are now known, but information regarding the lone Canadian date in Vancouver is still forthcoming. Music Today fan pre-sales for the shows in New Orleans, Austin, El Paso, Phoenix and Los Angeles will kick off later this morning at 10AM (local venue time) and are all currently listed at the Music Today website. Rush VIP and CITI Cardmember pre-sales are also listed at Ticketmaster for these 6 dates. For those of you not familiar with the pre-sale circus, I've put together a guide to ticket pre-sales which you can check out at this link. It'll tell you the differences between the various pre-sales, how they work, and what you will need to do to prepare for them. I will keep this thread along with the tour page updated with any new information as we learn it. Let the pre-sale madness begin!! Good luck! :)
