Yeah. That part sucks for sure. Coupled with predatory ticketmaster practices to begin with, makes for a crummy experience.

There's a limited number of tickets and many people want them.

If you had tickets and were comfortable paying $500 a piece for them, however, felt you'd part with them for $5000, then you'd post them to see if anyone wanted to pay that. If not, fine.

I’d love to know the process of “disposal”.

Brutal news. Hated seeing kids hurt when I coached. This is devastating.

Guys. He's looking for the Epstein files...

I’d criticize in person if I had the chance…

But look at the section they closed off. Besides tavern and maybe Tim’s, there are no shops. Which made the plan a failure.

Feels like that’s when the great divide started happening. He’s very “free speech, free choice” so I’d guess might have to do with mandating vaccines and that being tied to a “left” view.

Any idea where it ended up?

Failure #376 of this CIty's management. I also subscribe to the conspiracy that they shut Graham down to give True North a "smoking patio" for Canada Life Centre.

I really can’t emphasize enough how big of a piece of trash this guy is.

If he’s with Browaty, that should be enough of a sign.

As per Reddit… no lies

CUPW is losing ground in this battle.
