The eTA cost CA $7 from the official governmental site in Canada. I got approval within one minute from submitti8ng the form.

Just like with the US ESTA, there are many companies who have sponored links on the net, and they offer eTA for you. As they are NOT official, they take more money, a lot more money. Also, who knows how long time these guys do take to reply.

The official site is making it very clear. If you have something wrong in your application, like passport number, expirtion or whatever, then send another application.

Just booked flight from Nova Scotia to head to Vancouver. Going with my aunt and cousins. Super excited. If there are any extra pit or floor tickets kicking around, please let me know. Love to try to show them how you are suppose to see a Stones show.

That sounds like a very long flight, from one end East in Canada to the far other end at the Pacific. Safe travels!

Hey everyone enjoy Vancouver show. The merchandise isn’t great though I did like 1. Good I found a bootleg one in Vegas

Was really hoping for a cool poster and/or shirt from Vancouver. Where are you able to preview the merch?

Wicked! I'm in Herring Cove and was seriously debating doing the same, a week and a half ago. Best flight prices at the time were via Westjet. Thankfully, I didn't book.
I'm more than a little jealous that you're going. I have good friends in Van who will be attending with Lucky Dips that I made them aware of.

Herring Cove! Good grief, I used to live off Herring Cove Road on Princeton Ave back in the 60’s before we moved to Victoria. Hope your flights go well and you enjoy the show and have fun in Vancouver. I think the crowd will be really excited because it’s been a long long time.

2006. That's practically a generation, unbelievable really. The time before that was 1998. Then 1994, 1989, then...1972.

So this has been the longest break since 1972-89. Vancouver is a lot of amazing things, but clearly not a Stones town!

Did that flight on Friday last…..left east coast at 5:30am and landed in Vancouver at 10:30 am so it wasn’t that bad only 4 hrs! Lol

Having lots of fun in the area and super pumped for the pit on Friday.

Unfortunately, I decided against booking because of the looming Westjet strike. Strike averted but prices have now doubled. I have a special needs kiddo and that money is better spent on him. I'll enjoy the YouTube vids and can't wait to hear the reports from my pal who is going. His last show was Steel Wheels in Toronto when we were in our early teens and his love of the band spurred mine. I was able to help his wife (who will be seeing them for the first time) secure Lucky Dips so I'm actually very happy to be living vicariously through them.
You'd be amazed at the development since your time living here. It's been crazy, even over the last 5 years.

I’m guessing Bite my Head Off needs to be played live before McCartney in LA shows up… since it didn’t make Chicago, I’m guessing Vancouver.

There’s a Stones tribute band playing the Roxy on Thursday night and I think I’ll trundle along and get the mood setup for Friday.

I sort of felt a bit alone when many of my friends from Europe and other places went home after the two Chicago shows, and the Stones tour took the long shift to the west with Vancouver BC Canada. Still, there were many known faces on that direct Air Canada flight from Chicago to Vancouver in the afternoon the day after the show, so I will not be too lonely anyway.

No need to order a taxi or Uber from the Vancouver airport into downtown Vancouver if you stay central, unless you have loads of luggage. There is a CANADA LINE SKYTRAIN leaving the airport station every 12 minutes, taking 26 minutes to the end station Waterfront. Just tap on and tap off with your credit card, or buy a ticket at $3 or so by the machines. Over the age of 65 you get a "Concession" discount of $1 or so if you buy the ticket on the machines at the stations.

Yes, the SkyTrain is great.

I am in Seattle at the moment, taking the bus to Vancouver tomorrow.

Staying at the Rosedale on Robson.

See you folks in Vancity!

It's been a while since my last post ... but am so glad that Friday night is nearing and that I'll be attending the Vancouver show with 3 pals who also attended the Seattle '81 show with me. 43 years between shows together!! Hoping for great sound on the floor in GA again and a decent Vancouver themed shirt.
Can't wait.
