Hi Cathblue
I am hearing ticket prices of around $100 -$500 --I saw him in Portugal for $35 euros. Lucky me. I am hoping to see him in Edmonton and/or Calgary--yes he is that good!

Hello,
Prices are listed now on ticketmaster as CA $97.00 - CA $549.00.
Cheers, and good luck getting some.

for edmonton the lower end of that price range is lower, but the upper end isn't any lower ... wow, that's a hefty sum for one seat! i guess i'm not used to going to big shows like this!

Alas, this is true, and this is BEFORE all TM's outrageous service fees.
Forgive me for saying this, and yes I have read the press about his ex-manager, but this is outrageous. I'm a fan but in ANY economic climate could not afford these unspeakably steep prices. Please, Mr. Cohen, where is the love for us working stiffs? I would pay up to $200 to see him at the Orpheum or Queen Elizabeth Theatre, but IN A HOCKEY ARENA?? Sorry. I feel betrayed and gouged.

Hi Dameonawire...I too am concerned about how this will be at GM Place...the Orpheum or the Queen E would be perfect as it was when I last saw him...my daughter, who attends tons of big name concerts, was absolutely floored to hear the price of tickets and wonders why so much steeper for LC...I know how good he is, have been a huge fan for eons and swore if he ever came to Vancouver again I wouldn't miss him for the world but I'm contemplating a change of heart...yes, if I had to, I could manage to fine $1100 plus for my daughter and I...but it's the principle of the thing, you know?...C.

The good news is that the sound is very good in GM Place and seats are comfortable. With most big-name entertainers there is usually large video screens set up so you can shift from the stage to the screen for close-up viewing. Lower-price seats will still give you a great concert. If you want to hold hands with him though you'll pay top price.

That's the thing...I want to hold hands with him! )
