hmmm, i think you're right, thanks man, that makes sense. i sent them an email asking them too, not an angry one, just seeking an explanation...that's probably it.

Seems a bit off if you use a conversion rate calculator, but they probably set their own US rate exchange. most sites like stubhub are us dollars. some cc's will even add fees too for it...

Virtually all reseller sites are in US dollars. And if you pay with a CC, your card company sets its own exchange rate (usually the posted rate plus a few extra % to cover "expenses").

So much chaos and understandable anger. But if you asked me how much I was willing to pay, given these circumstances, it would be a lot - as much as I could afford. I spent all week trying to get tickets honestly, to no avail. The scalpers won, but I don't think this is the time to make a stand. There's already so much negativity surrounding what should be one final celebration with this band we love.
I bought stubhub tickets and feel great about it. When I look back on these shows, I won't remember any of this other nonsense, but I'll remember the shows. When it comes down to it, I just have to be there. The wrong people are getting the money, but their inflated prices are fair because I'm willing to pay, and I have no regrets. Get your asses to these shows.

I see a single in 308 in Kingston for $14,600 on stubhub if you want it.

I have been trolling the hell out idiots selling $56 seats for $650 + that are selling tickets online through Kijiji...anyone want some cell numbers to out bid me.....One guy graciously accepted my offer of $1500 per ticket for 2 floor seats to London...but only after I offered an extra $50 to cover the parking fees he paid obtaining them.

Hopefully this is an ok place to ask...I got myself a pair of tickets in the presale, and then managed to get another pair when they released more tickets that I got for my brother-in-law. This is for the Winnipeg show. Both pairs of tickets are in different sections, but I'm worried that the ones for my brother-in-law are credit card entry (they're non-transferrable and have my name printed on them). Does anyone know if he'll be able to get in? Can I walk him to the door and show my credit card & ID to let him in before I go to my seats?

Yeah.

Folks StubHub prices have dropped SIGNIFICANTLY across the board. Anyone that wants to see the show can see the show. No Excuses. I can't believe some of the pricing for the more recent upcoming shows on the West coast.....

I just came by to ask about this.
I am visiting family in Vancouver and already have 2 tickets to the show on Sunday. Four of us wanted to go together so they scooped up 4 tickets last night on StubHub - lower bowls for a hundo CAD each. This seems too good to be true. Is there any way that these StubHub tickets aren't legit? I know there's a money-back guarantee but my main concern is not seeing the concert.

i have used stub hub more than a few times. buying less than face. you have ZERO worries with your purchase, trust me. i have never heard of there ever being non legit tickets on that site. their guarantee is solid. they stand behind it. keep the 1.800 cust serv stub hub # handy and a copy of your purchase, just in case. they are there 24/7 for you just in case and will get u in the doors. but like i said never a worry! enjoy the show!!

So if I buy tickets off kijiji am I risking not getting in?
