There were some happy and unhappy Tragically Hip fans yesterday.
They were hoping to snatch up some pre-sale tickets, but fans say the tickets sold out in minutes, and to make them even more upset, tickets began showing up on other websites, like stubhub and kijiji, selling for upwards of a $1000 each.
Did ANYONE get Tragically Hip presale tickets? Were there like, 10 released??? This is insane. Scalpers win, fans LOSE.

So tragically hip tickets are completely out of reach for normal humans. This makes me really sad.

Dear folks scalping tickets for the Tragically Hip’s final tour: In your quiet moments are you content? Are you proud of your contribution?
