So you'll all be happy to know that I'll get my Sting and Peter Gabriel tickets for the opening night of the Québec City summer festival.

Me neither. I read something like this a few years ago too. I remember reading an article that used the example of a Taylor Swift concert in where, after giveaways, contests, and industry held tickets, only 10% of tickets were available for public sale. It's ridiculous. This is rampant and the industry still has the never to charge exorbitant tickets prices for an artificially finite amount of tickets. |

Yea, this is pretty much why I stopped going to concerts and hockey games. Seeing some if the 'indy' bands in a local bar is so much better. |

Why would you buy a ticket to a Taylor Swift concert? Isn't it easier just to date her?

I think it might be a trap, but I'm almost willing to risk it. |

The second concert I ever saw, I got to see Ted Nugent, Loverboy, Heart and BOC at an all day concert at Winnipeg Stadium for 5 bucks. The last concert I went to was KISS in Detroit and the tickets were 40 bucks a pop. Don't even remember who the warm-up act was so that tells ya how good they were

Paying $50 in the days before legal scalping and seeing Simple Minds play over a defective system and walk away after 30 mins ($50 was dinner for two at the Keg back then)... winning tickets to Rush and feeling like a total geezer at 29... never seeing the Canucks win a game live... and nowadays, I still don't want to. I don't wanta see the fucking Depends bulge under David Gilmour's pants or hear some gasping remnant of a teen idol. Alice Cooper, in a wheelchair croaking out "I'm EIGHTEEN akkk hak hak" |
