After following the NOOOOO! thread with growing frustration I got to thinking.

Here�s a �legal� approach we can take. Bombard the promoter with complaints, polite or not � your choice, and demand that the show be changed to �All Ages� or at least have an �All Ages� section included.

Contact info for the St. John�s promoters is as follows;

5. Even the tour date announcement here on the board doesn�t make any mention of any age restriction http://sarahslean.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=365


Let�s put grass-roots democracy, and the power of passioneers, into effect. Let�s get Julie into the show!!

�jim

aww this is nice, i'll definitely help her!

I only wish I had awesome people like you helping me out back in the days!

JIM!!!!
What an amazing idea!
You rock!
Activists unite.

I think this would be absoloutly amazing if it worked.

Ya got my support. If it was in a bar I'd fully understand - but this is no bar.

*runs off to fire off some polite e-mails* :P

I'm up for doing that, good job on doing your homework Jim.

Might be worth posting a link to this thread on Navy Soup.

Jim, while I LOVE your idea, I really don't appreciate your comment. Sarah is our number one concern. This message board is attached to her website. While it is you (very wonderful) fans who use it, and that's what it's here for, she (and we) are still responsible for the content. I have the discretion to delete whatever posts I want to but I'm not, I'm just asking everyone to be a little more aware.

We try to supply as much information as is given to us, when it is given. We don't make the venue policies, sometimes we don't even know what the policies are. I do know for a fact that this show is 19+ but if you guys can get it changed, that would be great. Good luck.

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat idea, but I can see where Cathy is coming from.

Cathy, my comment was inappropriate and I apologize.

I've since editted it. ops:

In the meantime, thanks for the wish of good luck, we'll probably need it.

I know you don't set the individual show policies, but if there's any chance to swing a bit of influence towards St. John's, I'm sure one of Sarah's biggest, although youngest, fans would greatly appreciate it.

...jim

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.

I've contacted all promoters. My mom works on the Express. I'll see if she can get me any more voice with them.

I will be quite disappointed if Julie isn't in that ballroom on April 9th.

This is fantastic.
Too bad the enthusiasm hasn't made its way over to Blue Kaffee land.

It can be frustrating because I've been talking to some people my age who complain about the fact that the show is restricted.. but won't do anything about it.
It just takes some emails.
Grrrr. :roll:

Also, what does "Razz," mean? ---> :P

Bill is the best 8)

I'm so sorry to hear about your misfortune Julie! :cry: I know how it feels...I missed a Sarah show a few years ago due to the fact that I was underaged at the time. As with this case, the tickets didn't have the age limit printed. I hope the campaign works out! Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you!

On this note, the next Toronto show is 19+. Anyone wanna launch a campaign for this one?

good luck with that! i think Julie has a case cause the 19+ issue is never explicitly stated ...

Phoenix ... damn jerks ... i'm not going to get into it lol!

What? You're under 19 Jareed??

You got into the Mod Club okay....

Mind you, they were strict, I think I was one of the few that didn't get carded

...jim

lol no i just turned 20 ...

what i meant was i tried getting into the phoenix about 3 years ago with a borrowed ID and it backfired ... that's what 'i dont want to get into' ... not the club itself

More response from Hits-FM.


[quote:4b825f20a1]Hey Jim

Just to let you know that as instructed I have sent your message regarding the Sarah Slean concert on to the promoter.

Cheers

Bill[/quote:4b825f20a1]


Nothing yet from the actual booker/promoter, Sonic Entertainment.

Time to turn up the heat a notch I think!

Come on passioneers, take 3 minutes to fire off an email if you haven't already.


...jim

Yeah, I've gotten the same replies.

I hope they find some kind of happy medium.

I've gotten a lot of really patronizing replies from some 20 year olds though.
*rolls eyes*
I should be like... "Hey, I've been listening to Sarah since you were wetting your bed!"

Or maybe not..
Haha.
