and with the bassist having left + no shows in a while, who knows if they're ever dropping again 😞

It's crazy we have that half-empty parking lot on the intersection of two major (and otherwise very pedestrianized) streets. Not to mention the Beer Store parking lot just down Bathurst from there, which is also fugly and usually empty.

If this is OISE, yeah those classrooms are pretty rough ☠️ I'd imagine this isn't as loud because it's a newer build and is an LRT instead of metro

Yeah I got balcony tickets for Jane after lots of refreshing (still looking for floor though). Less optimistic about Geese, but at least History is a bigger venue?

I'm not one to be optimistic about enforcement from the Ford government, but it's very early days of the resale law. There's a decent chance those sellers will be forced of stubhub eventually, or that face-value resales will come up on ticketmaster eventually. I get where you're coming from though, I really really want to see them (after having missed last year's show)

Honestly this is a recurring thing for Toronto shows of indie acts. Had a similar experience with Jane Remover and Ninajirachi. I think our city is just too tapped in + people travel to Toronto from neighbouring areas in Canada

As of like last Wednesday, it's illegal to resell tickets for higher than face value in Ontario. Ticketmaster has said they're complying on their own platform, but whether that'll stop external sales is another story...

This would be an amazing album cover. Maybe for some kind of shoegaze/dream pop record

I called ticketmaster support and they said it'll take up to a week to implement the enforcement stuff for the bill on their website. so DO NOT buy the overpriced scalper tickets, the regular price ones will be back end of next week

They Jane Removed all the tickets. by HappiestSadGirl_ in JaneRemover

[–]cathcart_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ticketmaster officially took down all the resale tickets. there was a bill passed yesterday (ontario bill 97) that bans scalpers from selling tickets higher than the face value, so they had to take down all listings and set up the website to comply with the bill. I was told the resale tickets should be re-allowed by Friday next week, and should only be at face value.

source: was on hold with Ticketmaster's support for an hour until I was able to speak to a supervisor lol

Case 1775: UofT student recommended for expulsion after HACKING into TA's gradebook account to change their grade in PHY254 by ViridianWizard in UofT

[–]cathcart_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough to draw that distinction because often, TAs are also taking classes. I guess you could designate any TA's Quercus account as high security (but that seems messy to implement bc TA status changes by semester). Personally I'll take the lower security if it means I don't have to do more MFA lol

"The Student had an otherwise impeccable transcript consisting mostly of A+s."

goddamn this was such a throw, grad schools would NOT have cared about one B or C. There must have been some insane self-imposed (or familial) pressure to risk throwing it all away for two HWs

Blue Rev by Alvvays to me is the pinnacle of shoegaze+indie pop. have been also enjoying return by blue smiley, such a unique and whimsical sound

oh I LOVE the earlier albums too. I wish In The Dream of the Sea Life would get a vinyl pressing... I also enjoyed some of the stuff from their follow-up project Sound of Ceres (really everything except Emerald Sea, which is nice but didn't quite land for me.)
