I think that Mellencamp show was scheduled for Parlee Beach back in the 90s.

Mellencamp on the Commons would be a bit of a disappointment to me.
Still thinking that KISS might be the rock show there this year as it was close last year.

The tickets turn out to be pretty pricey for this show, i just got 2 tickets & they came to $294. Still have to get 4 more, but stuck in the "waiting room" Smile

They need to upgrade that site if they want to keep bringing big acts to Moncton.

With Ticketmaster or Admission I'd have my tickets by now!... for the same "service charge".

There got all the tickets...i thought the early bird tickets were supposed to be $108, plus the service charges & tax. When buying them online, it has them at something like $124 a ticket, then services chargers, then taxes. I think it's a little ridiciouls that the tickets themselves came to about $219, and when it's all said and down there is another $75 added on.

Got my tickets..pricey with all service charges. Three tickets with shipping and service charges $925

Hopefully they wait a few weeks to announce McCartney not to mention Elton.

Why is the website charging 2 service fees?

When I go to checkout, there is over $100 in service fees for 4 tickets?

that's the bucks being made on the other end. Ticketmaster and Ticket Atlantic do not charge for regular mail. The only available options here are pick up at the box office (no) or Expresspost for $10. Well, I want my tickets in hand before I get there so it's look like I pony up the extra cash.

yeah - but there's no place to click for pick-up. I'm 15 minutes from Moncton, I don't need the $10 mail fee....

Guess I'll have to drive up later today!

Why not just go to Sobeys instead of paying services charges online?

There are 81 Sobey's location in Atlantic Canada . And there are 3 days at early bird prices . Plenty of time to visit the grocery store and save yourself 15.00. Why not pickup some good mix to go with your coolies this weekend while you're at it ....

That's exactly what I'm gonna do. Head to Sobeys and get some tickets... maybe some chicken wings for the game tonight LOL!

I have to stay at home with my sick daughter until late afternoon, just thought it would be easier online.

mmmh Wings ...

I'm happy to see a full concert calendar for the year here in Moncton ... Nice to be able to pick and choose your entertainment.

Well, didn't save any money at Sobeys. They are also charging $142.00 per ticket... $32.50 for service fees and taxes. That means the service fee is between $14 and $16!!!!

Seems pretty high to me. I've been to many hockey, football, concerts, theater, etc... and I don't recall ever paying that much in service fees.

Don't get me wrong - $142 isn't that high - I just which they would give us the final price instead of advertizing $109.50.

When I purchase my Dylan ticket, I knew exactly what it was going to cost me.

Glad I picked em up... would've been even more to get them mailed!
