I loved the warm up bands. They were amazing. The Smashing Pumpkins put on a terrific show. I'm so glad they came to Ottawa. I'd go see them again.
Every time I go to the Canadian Tire Centre, I encounter prickly staff. This time, I had rink-level seats and I was going down to the seats. My husband was in front of me, and two people walked down the stairs faster than me. Two ticket takers were aggressive in asking my husband for his ticket. He said my wife is jus there, and pointed at me. The two other people had their tickets shown via app.
I held my phone out to the ticket taker and pointed to my husband. I was ignored, and they were still insisting on my husband showing his ticket. I had two tickets on my Ticket Master App. It was really annoying, and then when I showed them our tickets, there was still tension like "we'll catch you out next time."
Also, the Canadian Tire Centre needs to provide an elevated space for people in wheelchairs to be able to see the concert. It's not fair to them to not be able to see the concert (as everyone was standing).
