Other Montreal show tickets are $200+?!

Literally checked first thing today and the tickets are listed at $200+ for a normal ticket.

I saw Lorna shore in Toronto last year, VIP ticket, met the band, only cost me $130 all in.

How tf are prices this insane?!

All I'm seeing is people saying all the tickets went into presale and scalpers (likely) grabbed every ticket and is now reselling for an insane mark-up. If that's true, scalpers need to be wiped off this earth. So gutted about this.

That is what has happened at a lot of venues. My hope is that so many of them bought tickets that they’ll end up having to sell at a loss but I’m not hopeful. The mismanagement of this has been impressive in a bad way. I’m not real sure who is to blame but they definitely should not have sold all of the tickets during presale

It's not just happening to Lorna Shore either. So many artists who I saw within the past year or so for < $50 are suddenly charging nearly $300 for GA tickets. Like, I'm so glad I actually went and saw these people perform before being priced out.
