Update: Over 25,000 hopefuls were in queue this morning for Veld! That's a HUGE number! Tier 1 and Tier 2 GA pricing is completely sold out with Tier 3 tickets still available. 

Update 2: Tier 3 pricing is sold out, current price for a GA ticket after fees is $232.72. 

Update 3: VIP and GA pricing is very similar at the moment as you can get VIP tickets for only $20 more for $258.37 after fees. This is my recommended route. 

Update 4: Current GA price is $258.37 after fees, and $296.85 for VIP.

Tickets go on sale at noon and you must pay attention because there's quite a difference in tier pricing based on availability:

Important note: Venue change for Impact 2014 this weekend in Calgary

Here's a snippet from the official statement from Union Events and Boodang:

"Promoters for IMPACT 2014 have announced today that the two-day electronic dance music festival slated for March 21 & 22, 2014 in Calgary will be relocated to a new venue, after capacity changes took effect at the previous location. IMPACT 2014 will now take place at the GREY EAGLE EVENT CENTRE, located at 37th Street SW and Glenmore Trail SW in Calgary, Alberta....."

"...Damages and repairs to the Big Four Building caused by last summer’s flooding in Calgary led the Fire Marshall to reduce the official capacity to 2900 patrons. Also, use of foggers, hazers and confetti would have been prohibited in the production of IMPACT 2014 at the Big Four Building..."

.."The GREY EAGLE EVENT CENTRE has a larger capacity, and will allow us to present IMPACT 2014 as it was originally intended, with its planned production features intact,” said the promoters in a joint statement today. “We respect the ticket buyer, and we are excited to be able to present this two-day showcase of electronic dance music at this new and exciting venue here in Calgary. IMPACT 2014 will feature internationally renowned DJs and producers over two evenings. Featured performers include DASH BERLIN, R3HAB, CARNAGE, D-BLOC & S-TE-FAN, SULTAN & NED SHEPARD, DANNY AVILA, ISAAC, CONGOROCK, PEGBOARD NERDS, and NORIN & RAD....”
