With Eason Chan and Jay Chou having performed this past year and Sammi coming as well it was a pretty good sign as not a lot of top performers have come for a while. Well this kind of flew under the radar a little bit as most people I've talked to, even Hongers didn't know Jacky Cheung was coming. Well he is and tickets came out today.
It's his Half Century Tour and really he hasn't come in forever and this will probably be the only chance you will see him ever again unless you go to Asia.

Yea same starting price as Sammi and Jay Chou
Funny though I did a search out of curiosity for the $400 and $300 + tickets and no results lol. I guess people are going all out for him.

I just heard about this!!! saw it advertised on fairchildtv and went nuts!
I dont think he's ever come to Vancouver (just Toronto and Vegas)
anyway i searched for tickets Floor row C x2 :D WOOOT $457.05x2 + fees and delivery (hoping to get actual tickets so i can give 1 as a present for xmas) came to $934 (thank goodness for Amex Rewards Points :fullofwin:)
I had to search on the Floor specifically if i just searched for best seats it gave me a pair behind the stage :fulloffuck:

Last time he was in Vancouver was like 1999 or something like that.
But almost yearly, he is in Vegas and Atlantic City. :okay:
I didn't get floor seats but I am in section 105 row 3. I can almost see the zits on his face.

A LOT of people opened up their wallets for Jacky
He covers literally 3 generations of fans. I know many people that are going with family
this world tour could very well be Jacky's last
Im sure fans have al seen the concert footage and all. The man can sing.

well my rewards points should take care of it; I heard about his 1/2 century tour too and was planning on going to see him in Singapore because I couldn't find anything out about him coming to Vancouver so I thought it wasn't going to happen, but couldnt find tickets good thing he came :D

i dont know but im assuming its the 2nd row /shrug
yeah being "backstage" im wondering if his concert is going to be like the HK concerts where the performers will be doing a 360
as for sitting in the 100s close to the stage after being to quite a few concerts it seems like sitting there is just as good as anywhere sometimes better (like @ the britney concert since being up front you get blocked by cameramen/lights/bouncers and those plush seats they had for "vip" tickets)
you get a better view

Oh nice, thanks for the insight!
I was just browsing around Macau and they're having Jacky Cheung 1/2 century tour at the end of December and for Section A(most expensive) is $220 CAD and section B(2nd most expensive) is $130 and currently sold out lol..feel so ripped off LOL

they love charging a premium when they come to Canada (i dont think its even that expensive in Vegas either)

In vegas they usually do shows around chinese new year because thats when all the gamblers like to go. When they go, the tickets are paid for, and they get the VIP seats. The rip off prices are only for the people who drive up/fly in from LA or San Fran to watch it.

BB club seats can be good or bad depending on your perspective. Watching the game sucks unless you like watching almost over head. Food and drinks is pretty neet.
Not sure if they offer those seats for concerts though. WOuld think it would suck unless you can watch the TV's.

just got back.....
i really enjoyed the concert, shame he was lip syncing some of them @ the beginning
okay during the concert ppl looked pretty damned mellow at the start like they weren't enjoying it but as the concert got on everyone seemed to get in the mood
first gripe i didnt get to record anything this old chinese guy was on my ass every time i tried to record (didnt think id need to hide my record light for this) but the thing is i saw all these people beside/behind/in front of me recording and this usher? kept shining his fucking light in my lens when i tried to even when i was trying to take a picture... i was like wtf?????
2nd not a gripe but a surprise, i didnt think id see so many white guys there there were at least 3 i saw on the floor with me
3rd went into 7 sweet sins after the concert and tried to buy some cakes but the 2 old guys working in there seemed like they had alzheimers.... the asian one was clueless the white one skipped my turn in line to talk to the girl beside me... then when he took my order he didnt take the full order and left to start working (i was going to order a few cakes to bring home to the familly) and to top it off he got my order all wrong even though he repeated it.... :seriously:
4th my fault, i didnt know the parking lot i parked in closed @ 11:30 and i got back @ 11:35 and it was already closed to top it off my phones battery had died, luckily my buddy was still @ his car so we called the Securiguard # to come and open the gate for me (i parked in the Amec building)
the guy took 1hr to arrive, according to his map Lot31 (it says on the sign what lot/address the parking lot is) belongs to some other lot on Howe st.; anyway he doesn't have the right key to open this parking lot... his pass won't open it... so he calls it in and they say they'll send a guy in a car (the security that came was on a bicycle) so i shouldnt have to wait too long....
well it took another 1hr for the next guy to arrive and this is with my calling every 20mins going wtf? and getting the reply of (10mins, so sorry) so finally get my car from securiguard and it cost $50 -_- (so parking ended up costing me $71 tonight) and im on my way home
but the thing is its been snowing for a long time now and although its rain in downtown its a snow storm the moment you pass Commercial Drive and i don't have my snows on -_- so Im driving really slow especially since the hwy isn't plowed and some spots its quite thick
saw a bunch of cars spun out and stuck in the snow on my way home, i spun once luckily there were no cars anywhere nearby and luckily i was going slow enough that i didnt keep spinning
took a long ass time to get back -_-
concert was nice did anyone else see that girl in the front row crying her eyes out through the whole concert?? wth was that about? crazy fan or did someone propose to her during the concert?
and whats up with those guys with Jacky 1/2 century lanyards/badges that got ushered backstage on the last song? was it some sort of VIP deal?
my mom & aunts apparently had a room for themselves and supposedly are getting/got to meet jacky after the show! should have gone with them! -_-

It was a great show. Too bad it wasn't sold out. A lot of people were put off by the prices. I fault it on the organizers though. They charge an arm and a leg to for these concerts. Ticket prices were more expensive than the Watch the Throne tour for Jacky, Sammi and Eason!
I paid $120 for floor seats for Coldplay but could only get nosebleeds for $100 at the Jacky concert.
Organizers greed cost them. Imagine if they lowered the price to just a tad. This building would've been sold out and rockin'.
HK star concerts always costs so damn much in Vancouver.

the event was 95% sold. it looked pretty sold out for the most part. there was an empty section for row1-10 sec111 and sec112 as it was right behind the control stage. some spots on the side bear 104 and 119

Bang on. It was a pretty fucking amazing show! But the price was a tad high, compared to Macau and Las Vegas. It would've been much better if it was sold-out since I saw some sections/rows, especially Upper bowl that was far from being sold out.
Apparently their were a lot of people outside Rogers Arena still buying tickets from the box office. Also, I don't know but the crowd wasn't really into it...I was sitting beside some middle-aged/older couple that didn't seem too amused at being there. Never clapped and didn't even smile..like wtf? AND when Jacky announced that this will be the last song for the night, some people just stood up and left..to avoid the crowds..that's just rude..
That'd suck, StylinRed. I was using my GF2 without any problems from security lol but that's probably cause I was a bit further than where you were sitting :)
Too bad I wasn't able to run into Jacky :(
