Carmen Chai from Thestar.com is reporting:
An Oshawa city councillor says he's tapping in to his list of contacts to try to secure an additional KISS performance after tickets for the band's October show sold out within minutes.
Councillor Robert Lutczyk is making calls "first thing" today following a weekend of watching residents line up for days for tickets only to leave empty-handed.
"It's the first on my to-do list, making calls on my network that I've developed just to see. It might be difficult, but it's very possible," Lutczyk said.
KISS, the heavy metal rock group, had left Oshawa off their initial list of stops on this fall's tour, despite the city winning an online contest to host the band. After media reported fans' outrage, the group announced an Oshawa stop.
Tickets for the Oct. 7 show went on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. All 5,600 sold out within minutes.
"Anything is possible, but I don't think there have been any discussions with the promoter about a second show," said Cortney Ager of the General Motors Centre, the concert's venue.
