KISSonline.com has checked in with the following report on KISS' July 2nd show in Fort McMurray, Alberta:
"While tickets to KISS — the most anticipated summer concert in Fort McMurray — were sold out in record time, those quick enough to buy them are now selling them at more than double for profit.MacDonald Island Park announced Friday (July 1st) that tickets were sold out in just under 25 minutes, 30 minutes quicker than last year's Northern Classic. VIP tickets cost $250 and general tickets cost $99. A total 9,000 tickets were sold.
Meanwhile, on sites like Kijiji, tickets are being sold at double the price ranging from $250 to $500. One seller is putting up $500 for a premium seat, row 8 for a VIP ticket. Another seller had 16 tickets, selling 12 in just one day at $250 each.
