Q.: Will you sell one-day tickets?
A.: Like last year, some single-day tickets are being made available in limited quantities, entitling holders to reserved seating at all shows either on Saturday September 12 only, as well as single event tickets. Refer to the tickets page for details. These tickets will help accommodate fans who are unable to attend both days due to work or other reasons, they can be purchased through www.progquebec.com, as well as through www.admission.com and at the Gesù box office.
Q.: What about the parking around the venue?
A.: Avoid parking on the streets since most of them have parking meters that are active 7 day a week till 9:00 PM. There are several parking options though: 1) There is a parking right behind the venue on the corner of St-Edward Street and St-Alexandre Street. 2) There is also a parking right in front of the venue on Bleury Street, but it's a bit pricier. 3) If your car is parked at your hotel, it is best to take a walk to the venue, everything in the downtown core is so close at hand.
Q.: Are the Gold tickets really worth the extra money?
A.: Although all seats have a great view, Gold ticket holders will be offered seats in the first few rows of the center section, guaranteeing them an intimate concert experience in the "sweet spot". Gold tickets come with a cool laminated pass. Most importantly, Gold tickets carry the honor of helping the FMPM hire high quality artists and ensuring that this festival remains an annual event.
Q.: Do I have to show my ticket stub all weekend long?
A.: Not necessarily. Regular ticket holders will receive a bracelet upon presentation of their ticket. The Gold ticket holders will also receive a bracelet upon presentation of their ticket, as well as their special laminated pass. Single show ticket holders will only be granted access to the hall upon presentation of their ticket for that show before entering the auditorium.
Q.: Can we meet the musicians after the gigs?
A.: Absolutely! The members of the various bands at FMPM will hang out with the crowd, sign autographs and pose for pictures, after the performance of each group, they will be available at their respective vendor tables to answer your questions and autograph CDs... time to get out your old Saga and Gentle Giant vinyl LPs!
Q.: Can we go out during the festival?
A.: Of course! You are free to go in and out of the venue as you please during the entire festival, you will be granted access to the auditorium upon presentation of your bracelet.
Q.: Will there be a PE* members group photo?
A.: An announcement will be made at the beginning of the festival to determine the location and time of the group photo.
