There was no Early Morning Rain in Timmins on Friday. But it was frosty and windy for the crowd at the front door of the Timmins Museum, waiting to scoop up tickets for the Gordon Lightfoot concert in Timmins, set to take place on Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Museum marketing officer Christina McManus opened the lobby doors to let folks get warm while waiting for the ticket sales to officially begin.

The iconic Canadian folk-rock balladeer has included Timmins, Kirkland Lake and North Bay on his 2015 summer tour. The Timmins show will take place at the Archie Dillon Sportsplex, which has seating for 750. This includes the front-and-centre floor seating, which was sold out by 10:00 a.m. Those tickets were selling for $145.

Amberley Martin of Timmins was first in line at the Timmins Museum at 9:00 a.m. at the doors opened for ticket sales. The Museum gift shop has one credit card / debit card processing machine, but the crowd was good natured and waited their turn. Some folks tried to call in their ticket order over the phone, but the decision was made not to accept phone orders until everyone who was in the line got served first.

Among those waiting at the back of the line for tickets was Timmins mayor Steve Black.
