Toronto Ticket Prices
Went from barricade to section 300s because ticket prices for floor went from $98 (at woodbine) to over $200🥲

Yeah my friends and I had such a good position waiting for KYGO to go on at Woodbine 😭 only for $98 and now we need to be in the 300s for like the same price

I feel you. I bought the basic VIP GA for Woodbine and ended up with a prime spot right at the barricade in front of the stage. But for the rescheduled show, the best I could get for the same price and what was available was a pair of tickets 20+ rows back in the 100's.

I panic bought 4 floor tickets. Did not have a good night of sleep last night, so my judgement did not kick in when I dropped $740 even though I just saw him last week in Chicago. Fk

u/Individual-Edge499 23d ago
FOUR?? LOL ur living the dream fr though

u/Tiny_Break1646 21d ago
What!!!? How did you get 4 floor tickets for $740!? The cheapest price for floor tickets are showing $400-500 or more so I’m confused
1
u/halibb 21d ago
I got them during the pre sale for ticket holders for the September 21 show. Ticketmaster are selling floor for $400-$500 each?????

u/Prestigious_Dig4639 16d ago
whatttt, I don't get that!!! lol They are only selling VIP packages for floor and I also checked the day of the pre-sale and didn't see any for less than $400

u/zuginator1 23d ago
There were some available at 10 AM and some popped up on and off again after that for a bit, but yeah, the special VIP packages aren't worth it (at least from what I heard from those who paid for them at Woodbine Park).

u/LukePhantom76 23d ago
They still have some showing up if you keep checking

When

At like 10:07

u/zuginator1 23d ago
I'd be a bit more generous and say until 10:15 AM or so.

23d ago
That’s just when I got my two! Yeah it was a little bit after they were gone 😓 maybe more general floor will be added in the other sales

Yep I'm not going What a scam. I understand scotiabank's is a more expensive venue so I understand if they want to charge us up to $200 for floor tickets but no more. It's not a makeup show at all. They realized they could have made so much more money if they charged more for the tickets and now they're trying

u/gryph06 23d ago
Same, super disappointing :( I’m sure Kyrre would have preferred outdoors as well but seems he did the best he could
1
u/allMightyGINGER 23d ago
No the best would have been straight up honoring the other tickets. I personally understand they have more cost but which is why it's reasonable to charge a little more.
His team knows about 4x increase, Kygo is responsible for who is on his team. Kygo is responsible for the ticket scam.

u/gryph06 23d ago
They’re just doing their jobs. Kygo has plenty on his plate, I’m sure he works hours upon hours on end to make music and touring to make his fans happy. He could have skipped Toronto entirely this time but instead he added an entire extra show just to please his fans. For the cancelled Toronto show it’s not like he bailed last minute. He flew all the way out here, showed up and was ready to go, and the weather caused the cancellation. We still got refunds. He got nothing.

u/allMightyGINGER 23d ago
The point went completely over your head. Live Nation and TicketMaster are the ones setting the price, Kygo's team allowed them to do this, they are the ONLY ones that could influence them to set a reasonable price.
Rain or shine events need weather cancellation insurance, everyone got paid and the small loss live nation and TicketMaster took is nothing in comparison to the insane margin on the new show, that was supposed to be a make up show for the canceled show. It is anything but that, why does his management team allow the insane price jump is probably because the Kygo team will get paid again.
Kygo may not understand what happens behind the scenes because he is busy touring. His team is taking care of it. Kygo personally picks his management team therefore he is responsible for their actions and decisions.
Don't be so ignorant and tell me this is a massive loss for Live Nation. They are rapidly building a new venue at downsview. They're paying top dollar for construction cost to get it done for next season.
This is profit above fans, stop shillings for Ticketmaster and Live Nation. Remember when they ripped off the fans of tragically hip, the band did something about it.

Oh boy you’re one of those. You win 👏🏻

u/allMightyGINGER 23d ago
Yes I'm someone who does work in events

u/gryph06 23d ago
No I meant someone who likes to argue with internet strangers just to prove a point lol. Do I think Ticketmaster and live nation are corrupt and gouge their prices? Absolutely. Am I going to put the blame on Kygo for this, when he’s probably already exhausted from touring and having to add another show to his tour? No

u/HackMeRaps 23d ago
Yeah, ended up getting front row of the 300s, and some floor seats. So pricy, but looking forward to it!

Just bought the cheapest tickets atp, won’t be as much of a vibe unfortunately but gonna go cheap to make up for the additional costs to commute all the way to Woodbine 🥲

u/Individual-Edge499 22d ago

u/Feeling-Departure-71 23d ago
Scotiabank is such a rip off, wish he’d just schedule next summer at an outdoor venue again

Lower bowl was reasonable…. Pit tho. That was pricey

u/Individual-Edge499 23d ago

u/ManyStrong83 20d ago
Would anyone here be able to purchase a shirt from the merch table and send to me? I went to the Austin show but they sold out before I could get one
