AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY
by CHRISTINE on 2019-07-26Big Four Roadhouse - CalgaryTravelling from the UK to Calgary for the stampede. Bought tickets to a couple of events including this one for Corb Lund. The tickets for two people cost £286. The event was taking place in the Roadhouse venue on the stapede site. We met some people local to Canada who had only paid £90 each. We arrived, to hopefully, enjoy the other acts taking part in this event before the main event, Corb Lnd and we were really looking forward to it. However, there was not a seat to be had within the venue. We found ourselves at the very back and the view of the stage seemed miles away. We decided we were too uncomfortable and could not remain standing for the whole event and took the decision to leave before Corb Lund took to the stage. This was not an easy decision to make but we were so uncomfortable within the venue, we had no choice. We travelled from Scotland on our holiday beginning in Calgary. When I think of the good times we had elsewhere in Canada, I just remember the feeling of being swindled for the Corb Lund tickets through ticketmaster and the awful venue . To pay £286 is bad enough but to discover that people had paid £180 for the same two tickets was most upsetting.
