I've read that you can get the tickets on-site from a Bridgestone display near the Metro/Bus station at the circuit. Sorry I don't have the details, but you should be able to find them with a search. If you haven't done the Thurs pitwalk, I recommend it. You get to see (and sometimes hear) the cars in various states of readiness. Great photo opps with the right lens. I wish I was there already, but I won't arrive until later tomorrow afternoon. I guess I'll pack an umbrella too
I picked up my tickets at will-call today and the girl said that bridgestone dealers (in QC) have the tickets as well. She wasn't clear on whether you could get them on-site. It would be nice to clarify! Thanks!
Did you pick up your race tickets and the Bridgestone tickets at will-call, or just the race tickets? Did you see a Bridgestone booth or anything at the track?
I found this. It references getting passes at the gate for those who couldn't get them from a Bridgestone shop. http://www.cnw.ca/en/releases/archive/June2008/03/c7547.html Media advisory - Canadian Grand Prix Open House Day MONTREAL, June 3 /CNW Telbec/ - Thursday, June 5, is the day the much anticipated Bridgestone Open House Day will take place at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve as one of the highlights of the festivities surrounding the Grand Prix of Canada.

I am here as well and so far so good in every way. The city is F1 nuts and the whole town is on vacation. This is so much different than Indy. Streets are shut down for blocks and it's a big party. No wonder F1 keeps coming back here.
We had dinner at La Queue de Chaval and saw: Vitantonio Liuzzi Giancarlo Fisichella Rubens Barrichello Nick Heidfeld Robert Kubica Christian Kein Not a bad night
