My rant -
I went down to the venue to try and get a ticket and there was absolutely no way to get one...and to compound matters, I saw them pack away a good 10 pairs from people that did not show...I had a fist full of cash and tried but the minions at the box office wouldn't sell one to me. I mean, I straight out offered 25 times the list price for a pair of tickets and they said no...that is the first time that I have not been able to get into a show...i understand that they want to avoid the scalping but there was 2 people trying to get tix at the door and there was minimum 20 empty seats...why not sell them and take the profit?
If I were managing these guys, or the venue; I'd be pissed that the schleps at the door didn't accommodate the 2 fans - on goodwill alone!
end rant -
...my fault for not getting a ticket but had to blame that on being in Chicago and being to busy - damn!
And I will be in Mexico City (yikes) this week so will miss Kitchener...have fun all.
I will make up for it in NYC and Boston and Toronto and a few others sprinkled in there....
...and i did get to hear them start into suite, but it was rather depressing in my 'left out' state!
