Yup, the ferries suck. I can't afford to use them either but they sure are causing problems for everybody else. Whoever bought those Fast Cats should open up a little competition god knows I would if I had one of those.

As for Nickelback, I saw them the other year at the Memorial Arena before they went super huge. Now there's no arena there, and their tickets will never be that cheap again 8)

i personally think this strike is bs....75% of the people on strike have jobs that any mcdonald punk could easily do..they are basically the same job and mcdonalds kids make at the lowest like 6.50 an hr...they should just fire anyone who doens't think they get enough money and then hire some minimum wages kids

How much were your tickets??, mine were only $42bucks i thought that was pretty reasonable.

and to continue the ferry thread, did anyone notice that the title is spelt "fairies" ha ha ha, no offence to peoples spelling or anything, as mine is probably worse than anyones, just found it a little funny thats all

Dan, that is still pretty reasonable I thought they would be wanting way more now. The other year in Vic they were only $27 though. 8)

As for the spelling of the thread title, I thought it might have been intentional :P

I went on that same night too but since I had to sit on the phone for 40 minutes instead of actually being there to buy them, the best seats I could get were front row behind the goal, but I could still feel the heat off those piro's and when Chad came down to the back he was right by me. It was kind of funny. When I first phoned I only wanted two tickets but by the time I got through, I bought six so I could give them as Christmas gifts. 8) It kind of pissed me off when they made a second date for the night BEFORE the original. :evil:

Personally, I'd rather ride the ferry than see nickleback.
