That's good to hear, glad you enjoyed it. At the moment I'm so skint I cant even afford a postage stamp, so god knows how I'm gonna pay my way when I go to see Slayer in November:confused:
 
So the CBC has been running an indepth investigation into LiveNation/Ticketmaster's scams pricing and reselling programs, and it's been pretty damning so far.

For reference, this started last year during the final tour of The Tragically Hip. The singer was dying of brain cancer and the tickets were literally the hottest commodities in town, but the final date sold out instantly and it was estimated that less than half of the tickets went to real people (some say as few as a fifth). This has clearly led to some in-depth journalism.

For some shows, literally every front row seat to a few rows back is only available if you buy a VIP package. It's really sad that things have gotten like this.
