I know this doesnt go in the wanted section so I figure this was the best place as any...

I'm looking for 1..one...ticket to the Alice Cooper concert here in Calgary on Friday Oct.21/05....

Dont bother with the smartalec remarks, because this is something I will do come hell or hi-water!!

I've been wanting to go to a Alice Cooper concert since I was 13...I'm almost 32 now...but til now there has been some sort of roadblock in the way....

I AM GOING!!Even if it means buying from a scalper!!I dont care!!

If someone here has one,get in touch with me at Best Buy-Deerfoot Meadows between 10am and 6:30pm and we can arrange a place to meet.

I am more than happy to pay full face value, which for the more expensive seats works out to about $70....

I was hoping there would be one last ticket left on payday,same day as the show, but TickMaster has sold out!

I'm pulling out all the stops to make this happen!!

Thanks for any help you all might be!!

Alice has a syndicated radio show, we have one station locally that plays it in the evenings and it is quite good and I would recommend it.

Sorry, back to the topic (on the bright side it is TTT)

In the process of looking for a ticket, I emailed Classic Rock Q107 and asked if they would help me find one to buy...

This morning,they were talking on air about how "there might be one or two left"...So I phoned them to correct them as all had been sold out except for the scalpers....

They asked me if I was the one who emailed them about it...I explained to them how bad I wanted to buy a ticket to go...not looking for a freebie...just a little help locating one for sale.....that I had waited nearly 20 years for this and I was going no matter what...

They took some info from me and said they would look around and see what they could dig up.

I waited.......and waited........and waited......finally I called them back and asked if they had any luck...Nope,Noones called yet....DAMN!

I start calling around to every ticket dealer in town including one who I'm positive was a scalper..but he had like 10 tix for like $100 each...And I was willing to pay it....

I tried again with TicketMaster to see if any extra seats had opened or orders cancelled....nothing......

No more than maybe 10 mins after hanging up with them,this fella comes in the install bay asking for me.

"Hi...I'm Young Steven from Q107FM...We talked on the phone this morning......"

You gotta be ****tin' me?!?!?!?!?!

He hands me 3 Q107 license plates, then reaches in his pocket and hands me 2...TWO...tickets to the Alice Cooper show.....

"These are mine, but you seem like you need them worse than I do....enjoy the show!"

Floor seats....centre section...2 seats off the isle....about 5-7 rows back from the stage!!!I figured out later that these were likely media complementry tickets for the press and radio....Fuggin Cool Man!!

I almost cried....I gave this dude a hug I was so happy!!I spent about 1/2 hr jumping and screaming with happiness.....Murray I think was ready to leave I was so out of it...lol....


I just got home from hangin at buddies place after the show....I cant talk...my whole body aches.....I can barely hear anything.....


IT WAS THE GREATEST FRICKIN CONCERT I HAVE EVER...AND WILL EVER...HAVE GONE TOO!!!!


he did all my fav's....Nearly the entire "Welcome to my Nightmare"Album,Eighteen,Schools Out,Feed My Frankenstein,Lost in America,Go to Hell,The Ballad of Dwight Fry....and the list goes on and on.....I was in heaven for a couple of hours tonight,folks....

Afterward I went a bought a Tshirt(picture on the front with Alice with his head in a guilatine),and a window sticker.....not much but something to remember thise awesome experince with.....


This is a night will never forget.......Thanks Q107!!
