Pittsburgh thread
I realize this is a few days early, but I wanted to start a Pittsburgh thread and give people who are coming into Pittsburgh Monday night the heads-Up!
Just as an early warning, Pittsburgh rush hour traffic can be horrendous. Between around 4:30 pm to around 6:30 pm, traffic going into Pittsburgh can literally be backed up for hours. And the downtown area, where the Mellon Arena is located, can be the worst.
I'd strongly suggest to those coming into Pittsburgh Monday night to get there as early as possible, before rush hour traffic hits. I plan on being in the city by 5:00, and I'll probably eat dinner before the show.
From what I've heard, the opening act hits the stage at 7:30, and Shania takes the stage around 8:15. So give yourself plenty of time to get to the arena, just in case traffic is crazy on Monday.

Awesome Pittsburgh tickets still available!
Now this is weird. I just went to ticketmaster.com to see what kind of tickets are left for the Pittsburgh show, and they still have some really awesome seats left. I just purchased a 3rd ticket for myself, in the 1st row on the 1st tier of the arena (Igloo Section)! That's a fantastic seat, and I'm surprised it's still available less than 2 days before the show.
I'm also a little disappointed in the Fan Club now, since this ticketmaster ticket is better than alot of the Fan Club seats.

WOW! That's great,but yeah that is weird. I am surprised that the show's not sold out yet. They keep saying on Y108 that it's nearly sold out. But it is a Monday night so maybe that's why. My mom and I taking a Greyhound bus down to the arena lol and my older brother is picking us UP after the show  This is our first time to the arena so I hope we know what we are doing. LOL Just can't believe it's TOMORROW NIGHT!!   Get ready we're comin'!!!

I'm flying in on Monday morning and just taking a cab or bus service to the Marriott where I'll be staying. I bought three floor tickets, one at a time until I got a seat I was happy with. I suspect non-concert business types who are at the hotel bedcause of business travel will try to get tickets once they find out Shania will be there and should be able to spin them off at facevalue up in the concierge lounge. Unless somebody wants to leave me a message at the front desk that they'd be interested in them. I'll check in sometime after lunch time (around 1 or 2pm) on Monday. If no messages for me when I check in, then the concerige will taken 'em I'm sure.
As for the fans going, where and when shall we meet?

We'll have to find a place to meet. I'm not sure if inside the arena or a place outside would be better.
And is anyone bringing a camera?

I'm a platinum member with Marriott...I'll call the manager of the hotel to see if they'll let the fans use the Concierge lounge after the concert for a private gathering place. I'll let you know what he says after I make contact.

They usually release more seats very close to the date. As they set up the stage, they know if they can squeeze in more seats. Also tickets left unsold on some services might get returned just before the event, and they are put on general sale.
Have fun at the concert!

Glad to hear you do the same as I do to get a better seat... I was just able to get what I hope is a better seat for Monday night. I don't know the arena but the virtual seating chart looks like it's a good one. I'm in El-2...row H which just popped up .....before I was in B-22 from the fan club.
I have to be at will call window as soon as it opens to pick up.. How about you????

Sounds like a good place to meet before as well. It seems as if you can walk to the arena from the Hotel... Does anyone know?
