There are pre-sales now if you join an artist's fan club. Cynthia J.

I was not only online but also on the phone. The concert was at the NAC but not presented by them, they had rented out the hall to the promoters. I was not able to get tickets, and I was very upset. I called the NAC and complained and then found out they were not the presenters. However, a couple days later, I got a call from the NAC and they had a series of tickets they had obtained for their members and parliamentarians and had not managed to give them all away (why would someone refuse tickets to a Leonard Cohen concert I don't understand). So they offered them to me, not free of course but it certainly paid to complain that time!

I am not a popular concert goes, so do not get impacted. But I do agree that it makes it bad for the fans.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.com
