after this summer I might not be able to go to any concerts ever again, it'll take me 20 years to pay off all these tickets
Why should that make it worth it? I whole heartedly agree that seeing the Hip in a small venue is fantastic. I saw the Hip at the Whiskey in Calgary in 2004, and the show there was very special because of the intimacy. In no way does that make it all right for a band to gouge it's loyal fans...absolutely not. I don't care who the band is, it's just not right.
That being said, there is no question that if they announce a show here again, I will be forking over for tickets. It doesn't mean I have to like that fact or that I can't be pissed at the band for doing that to fans.
