Poncho 898 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) It is no different than the real estate market. Plenty of hypocrites on here.....if there is money to be made people will exploit. Look at the Climate Change bullshit, exploit, tax and get rich. The Hip would be lucky to sell out if this shit didn't happen. All bullshit Edited June 2, 2016 by Poncho Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Puzzleboy 603 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 No, I didn't say negative to that. Keep in mind, scalping has long been illegal until the Libtards legalized it not long ago. Speculating on houses has never been illegal. My point was that companies are profiteering of Gordie's terminal diagnosis, and fans suffer. Yeah, I know, nobody is forcing them to buy tickets. But I'm sure many feel compelled to attend given his prognosis. Reminds me of that drug company that hiked the price of their meds by 15000 % or whatever. But hey, it's a free market!

Puzzleboy 603 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 97.7 DJ (Jesse Modz) had a scalper drive over an hour to meet him with Hip tickets, and either didn't show up or told him to fuck off. Scalper was pissed.... Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stoney 165 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Guy I was golfing with got four tickets for two shows.....I think Ottawa and Toronto, nothing too crazy either around $500.00 for all four at each show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen them twice live (got free tickets), and they're not much of a concert/performance band, especially with their newer mellower stuff. I would say his diagnosis is impacting the silly pricing..... sad really. Save your money, and download their early discography. I saw them open for Rush @ the Gardens once. I wasn't a fan before & their performance didn't make me 1. Gord basically just hung onto the mic stand & swayed back & forth.

steve6 84 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I got tickets to hamilton when they released more yesterday, I am not overly a fan of them in concert (saw them twice so far) but hopefully they will change my views. $90 each from ticketmaster is worth it, would never pay $500 a ticket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Puzzleboy 603 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Yep, they're not much of a stage band, but worth seeing if you can. Some older tunes are pretty good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Puzzleboy 603 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Lmao. Read the article. The band trying to get tickets to their own shows? Fumbling with credit cards? Too funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
