Tickets were selling for $1, but Ticketmaster SURELY implemented their stupid ridiculous "service charges".

If that wasn't the scam, then what was it? I wanted to get them too, but forgot.

This thing was a massive scam, my buddy went to buy tickets at 5:00am saturday morning, he was first in line too, the guy punched in into his computer, sold out... My friend was sooo pissed, Id be too, waiting for 4 hours at sunrise records lol. Im pretty sure that employees at the tickermaster got all the tickets that were being released to the general public, if not them, then the people who work at sunrise and all the public outlets for the fact that the tickets are now being sold on ebay for upwards of 400 dollars for a pair. Pretty nice scam if you ask me, people selling em on there can only sell em for a buck to ppl in ontario cause otherwise its scalping right? So people are paying hundreds outside the province for this show.

Yea so thats how I see it. lol

there was no service charge for this concert, that was the point of calling it the dollar bill tour, cause you only need a dollar. If anyone does want some go into the edge and put a loonie in the edge-o-matic, thats where all their tickets will be starting friday morning at 7:15

k first off there were service charges regardless weather u got em in person or on the net... so the dollar bill tour was actually 8 bux

As for the ticketmaster scam... at 10am on the nose online it said that the blink tix had sold out... (my gf was on the net) ... punkindrublic and I were at a ticketmaster location which sold 2 tickets b4 being "sold out" ... we were there early but i felt bad for the ppl there... some guy was there at 4am waiting... was 2nd in line and got nothing...

the tickets were $3.50 with service charges....

i'd be curious to know how many tickets actually went to the general public.... the ticket master in burlington sold 4 tickets and the people who got those tickets cut in line and were allowed to do so by the sunrise employee's... so i'd assume similar things happened all over... and i would also assume a lot of tickets were sold before 10am as well

Well looks like some people got em today, My friend waited at the edge since 5am, but he was 2nd in line and got his tickets for 2 bucks, I shouldve went too, but I had to go to physics. Apparently they were kicking scalpers out of the line like they said they would. Good stuff Anyone else get tickets here?

On Muchmusic News, they were saying how there was a limit of 2 tickets per person... how on earth can they get sold out so quickly!?!?!

Talked to a frind that works for xxxxxx. Supposedly the ticket counter was opend before the regular public was able to get them. The emplyees were buying them 2 at a time.....so I figure the other locations were doing the same thing.


How many tickets were there in total for sale?
