We can't go anymore, first, tickets are expensive, like starting at $200-300 in Canada. Then the minute they go on sale, they are all sold to scalpers who resell them $2000 on kijiji. Madonna tickets reached $6000.

So I stopped caring about live concerts.

Plus, if you don't live in Vancouver or Toronto, your chance of seeing a non Canadian artist is a lot more slim. And even then, they might come nearby, but then you're spending either gas money, a plane ticket, plus staying overnight at a hotel.

Idk about everyone else, but I'm struggling to pay the cost of living. Never mind having a luxury like that.
