Mon Nov 02 13:30:05 -0800 2009 136670 sweeterpea 1 5150098 A friend and I are going and can not wait! I think it'll be a fun night! Mon Nov 02 13:58:08 -0800 2009 5149983 269789 Beachy1 1 5150328 Got my tickets this morning and as far as I can tell I think this may be his only Canadian stop! Mon Nov 02 15:13:06 -0800 2009 5149983 266245 Bellavino 2 5150638 What is Bourdain "flogging" now? New book? I quite enjoy him as well as the "No Reservations" episodes I have enountered more out of "happenstance" than design. Mon Nov 02 17:10:27 -0800 2009 5150328 14314 Bob Mac 1 5150790 I got tickets during the presale...looking forward to it! I saw him once before and he's a really entertaining speaker. It's worth the money if you're into food, travel and can handle a bit of potty mouth :) Mon Nov 02 18:11:32 -0800 2009 5149983 1100491 messier 1 5151234 I'm going with a group of people too. Looking forward to it. Janice Beaton is hosting a meet and greet of some type- but it costs extra and I'm thinking might be kind of awkward so I'm not going to that. Mon Nov 02 23:51:03 -0800 2009 5149983 201067 Mawson Plan 2 5151241 Wish he was coming to Vancouver -- he's one of my original Chow crushes. Mon Nov 02 23:56:07 -0800 2009 5151234 169233 grayelf 1 5151527 Where? When? What? Bourdain in Calgary? Tue Nov 03 06:19:39 -0800 2009 5149983 234943 josey124 2 5151549 http://www.calgarythings.com/ct/events/148.html No more VIP (meet & greet) tickets are available. Tue Nov 03 06:25:46 -0800 2009 5151527 162741 cancowboy 2 5151576 Got it. I bought tickets too. Thanks! Tue Nov 03 06:35:08 -0800 2009 5151527 234943 josey124 1 5153803 We thought about the VIP tickets, but I was worried it was going to be too late of a night and awkward as well. We got our tickets too :o) Tue Nov 03 18:42:39 -0800 2009 5149983 136670 sweeterpea 1 5153890 i got pre-sale tickets as well!! can't wait - he's my favorite! Tue Nov 03 19:22:56 -0800 2009 5149983 74241 pants 1 5153894 I wonder if he's doing any filming here. I would love to see a show about Rocky Mountain cuisine on No Reservations. Tue Nov 03 19:24:43 -0800 2009 5149983 136670 sweeterpea 1 5155387 My wife and I are going..love his show...it would be awesome if Zamir was with him, but I know that's too much to hope for. Wed Nov 04 10:24:27 -0800 2009 5149983 108590 Major_9000 1 5155993 I got pre-sale tickets. :D It's supposed to be a Kitchen Confidential talk, apparently. Wed Nov 04 13:18:34 -0800 2009 5149983 14229 anonymoose 1 5158692 Thanks for bringing this up! Got my tickets..........this is going to be a fun evening! I only wish I had known earlier to get the VIP tickets. did anyone have trouble trying to buy tickets online through epcor,I ended up having to phone in for tickets. can't wait...................<VBG> Thu Nov 05 12:01:05 -0800 2009 5149983 235989 afullpantry 2 5159041 I had some issues with the online purchasing. It threw up an error the first go round. But I hit the back button and tried again, and it seemed to go through, fingers crossed. should be a fun night. Thu Nov 05 13:50:30 -0800 2009 5158692 20489 marcopolo 3 5159465 That happened to me too. I have to phone them tomorrow as I got two confirmations by e-mail -- don't want to be charged twice. Thu Nov 05 16:27:41 -0800 2009 5159041 136670 sweeterpea 1 5160378 *sighs* I WANT to go. I was so happy to find out he was coming here. Then I looked at the date and gave an emphatic 'shit!' I'm going to be in the Turks and Caicos at that time... Fri Nov 06 05:46:31 -0800 2009 5149983 99828 AriaDream 2 5162298 I will gladly give up my tickets if you want to switch. ;) Fri Nov 06 16:34:55 -0800 2009 5160378 14229 anonymoose 1 5164145 Cool thanks for the heads up. Got some tickets, tho the site was hard to navigate and I got errors like some of the other people. Sat Nov 07 18:03:23 -0800 2009 5149983 80843 alley 1 5165485 Ha, probably a stupid question.... anyone or know of anyone willing to part with their VIP tickets for the right price? My friend would die to get these and I would love to surprise her for christmas.... I unfortunately missed the boat on the early ticket sales. Otherwise, I will be more than happy to purchase regular tix, but it's worth a try isn't it?? Cheers! Sun Nov 08 14:22:35 -0800 2009 5149983 1122812 rbarker 2 5173628 Anonymoose will give up hers for tickets to the Turks and Caicos if that helps. :D Wed Nov 11 13:41:43 -0800 2009 5165485 99828 AriaDream 3 5173778 lol - mine aren't VIP tickets though, darn it. Wed Nov 11 14:35:03 -0800 2009 5173628 14229 anonymoose 1 5181543 AHHHH, I just came back to Canada after a whole month in the States and I just found out today!!! Where can I get tickets?!?!?! How much are they?!?! Where can I buy them etc etc.!!!!! Sat Nov 14 12:35:20 -0800 2009 5149983 217968 pasaker 2 5181766 35 dollars I believe and the link to the place on the Epcor site to purchase them is http://tickets.epcorcentre.org/single/EventDetail.aspx?p=522 Sat Nov 14 14:28:46 -0800 2009 5181543 99828 AriaDream 3 5187335 I paid $75.00/per ticket and I got 2 tickets for seats in Zone 2. I hope they're decent seats. .......I also paid an extra 2 dollars to get it mailed as well...I hope they do come :S Mon Nov 16 19:16:36 -0800 2009 5181766 217968 pasaker 4 5188137 Don't worry -- we always choose zone 2. I'm short so I can see above everyone, yet you get the intimacy of the stage. It's great to see so many chowhounders going. It'll be fun to discuss this online after the event. Tue Nov 17 07:08:21 -0800 2009 5187335 136670 sweeterpea 1 5181906 Has anyone recieved their tickets in the mail yet? I have never ordered from Epcor Center before so I wasnt sure if this was like ticketmaster where they just mail it to you when its convenient for them or if they sent them when you ordered them. Since I had some of the trouble that others had online I just wanted to check. Sat Nov 14 15:37:00 -0800 2009 5149983 266245 Bellavino 2 5182328 No, but I expect they will send it closer to the time like Ticket Master. If you received your confirmation via e-mail I wouldn't worry. Sat Nov 14 19:48:46 -0800 2009 5181906 136670 sweeterpea 2 5188986 I got mine in the mail today. Tue Nov 17 11:15:41 -0800 2009 5181906 20489 marcopolo 2 5193839 I bought mine in October and I got them yesterday....you should see yours soon! Thu Nov 19 07:02:22 -0800 2009 5181906 1100491 messier 3 5193871 Got them yesterday! So excited! Now to make a reso in the area for some pre Bourdain eats!
