Clear prices, tips and tricks, and trusted analysis - so you can spend less and see better. [Subscribe](#/portal/signup/free) ## Why FaceValue exists What seems like forever ago, buying a concert ticket was dead simple. You went to the box office, paid a fair price, and knew what you were getting. Sure, the convenience of modern ticketing allows us to buy stadium seats for Chappell Roan from the comfort of our beds. But with that comfort came a whole slew of nonsense; - Massive queues - Dynamic pricing - Inventory manipulation - FOMO triggers - Prices falling right after you buy I could go on and on, but if you're here, you're probably well aware of it all. The point is, the ticket purchasing experience has turned into a stress machine. It's in the best interest of the promoter & ticketing platform for you to be anxious and panicked while clutching your Mastercard. Panic leads to irrational, emotionally-driven decisions, and by the time you checkout, you're left feeling a rush of excitement, confusion, and shame. You shouldn't have to enter fight or flight mode when buying a concert ticket. ## **That's where FaceValue comes in.** I'm like you. Or maybe I'm not like you at all.. But I'm sure we're at least *a little* alike. If there's one thing we have in common, it's that we love concerts and hate being screwed over. Having been to [**hundreds of concerts**](https://www.concertarchives.org/we-needed-this?ref=facevalueto.ca) in my life, I've accrued a lot of knowledge on the music biz from the consumer side. I built this site as my way of returning that knowledge to the community. Here on FaceValue you will find; - Concert pre-sale breakdowns, giving you the big picture on the most-anticipated tour announcements in the GTA - Clear indicators for whether a show is worth **Buying or Waiting** - Seating prices and how they change over time - Tips and tricks to help you navigate an ever-evolving ticketing landscape What you will **NOT** find is ways to circumvent platform rules, paid or fan-club presale codes, or a playbook on how to scalp tickets. There will be no undisclosed affiliate bias, and if sponsorships ever appear, I'll label them. My goal is ultimately to be a hub for transparent concert information. No more jumping across artists subreddits, scouring social media pages, and constantly refreshing ticket prices. Just one place with the info you need to know. Calm and collected. This is how the ticket buying experience should be. ### **How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** #### Disclaimer Here's another thing we have in common: I can't predict the future. I don't know whether those $450 Zach Bryan seats will be the best deal you can get. What I do know is my own experience, and the second-hand experience of dozens of others concert lovers. I can only give you the facts and my own opinions. πŸ’‘The recommendations I provide are just predictions, they're not to be taken as financial advice. ****I'm not your financial advisor.** I'm just someone trying to make sense of a market I spend way too much time and money in to not at least try. **"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." - Mark Twain* ## This is a work in progress. Over time, I'm going to refine my systems based on your feedback. I want this to be something that can build and grow into something bigger. Hopefully it can even put pressure on platforms to be more transparent. I'm excited to see where we can take this. I hope you're with me on this journey! See you in the pit!🀘 - Dima, *Creator of FaceValue* ## Sign up for FaceValue Toronto Buying concerts, not hype Subscribe Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. No spam.

[Concert Tracker](https://facevalueto.ca/concert-tracker/) ### Privacy Policy URL: https://facevalueto.ca/privacy/ Last updated: 2026-08-07T17:44:11.000Z **Effective date:** August 6, 2026 **Last updated:** August 6, 2026 FaceValue is an independent Toronto concert publication and ticket-intelligence service. This policy explains what personal information FaceValue collects, why it is used, who helps process it, and the choices available to you. This policy applies to [facevalueto.ca](https://facevalueto.ca/), the FaceValue Concert Tracker at [tracker.facevalueto.ca](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/?ref=facevalueto.ca), FaceValue memberships and emails, and any Front Row membership or member-community feature that links to this policy. ## The short version - FaceValue collects the information needed to provide the feature you choose, such as your email address, the shows you save, your alert settings, your membership status, or a question you send to Front Row. - FaceValue and its service providers also receive technical information needed to deliver, measure and protect the services, such as browser, device, IP-address and request-log information. - FaceValue does not sell or rent personal information, and it does not use personal information for interest-based advertising. - FaceValue uses service providers for publishing, membership, hosting, databases, email delivery, payments and optional member-community features. Some of these providers process information outside Canada. - Marking a show Interested or Going does not sign you up for an email alert. Alerts and price targets have their own controls and can be turned off separately. - You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any FaceValue email. - You may ask to access or correct your personal information, or ask FaceValue to delete information it no longer needs, by emailing **hello@facevalueto.ca**. ## 1\. Information FaceValue collects What FaceValue collects depends on the features you use. ### Information you provide FaceValue may collect: - **Contact and account information**, such as your email address, name and account or membership identifiers. - **Email and alert choices**, including the newsletters or concert emails you request, whether an alert or price target is active, and when you turn it on or off. - **Concert activity**, such as shows you mark Interested or Going, shows you save, and the price or section targets you set. - **Membership and billing information**, if you purchase a paid membership, such as your tier, subscription status and billing events. Payment-card details are handled by Stripe through Ghost. FaceValue does not receive your full card number. - **Questions and support information**, such as messages, ticket listings, prices, sections, screenshots or feedback you choose to send. - **Member-community information**, if you join a Front Row member space, such as your Discord account identifier and content you post in that space. Please do not send FaceValue payment-card numbers, account passwords, government identifiers or other sensitive information that is not needed to answer your question. ### Information collected automatically When you visit or use a FaceValue service, FaceValue and its service providers may receive: - your IP address; - browser, device and operating-system information; - the pages or features requested, date and time, referring page and similar request-log information; - cookie or local-storage identifiers used for sign-in, membership and service operation; - first-party website analytics, including page views and short-window visitor counts; - member and signup attribution, such as the page or referral source connected to a signup; and - email activity and delivery events, such as emails sent, opened or clicked, and delivery, bounce, complaint or unsubscribe status. When a logged-in Ghost member visits the FaceValue website, Ghost may record the member ID, membership type and content viewed so FaceValue can understand which content is useful to members. ### Information received from other services Depending on the feature, FaceValue may receive: - a verified member email and membership information from Ghost when you sign in to the tracker; - subscription and payment-status information from Ghost and Stripe if you purchase a paid membership; - email delivery and suppression events from Ghost or Brevo; and - Discord account and activity information if you join or participate in a Front Row member space. FaceValue also links to ticketing, resale, social-media and other third-party sites. Those services handle information under their own privacy policies when you visit them. ## 2\. How FaceValue uses personal information FaceValue uses personal information to: - create and maintain your FaceValue membership or tracker account; - remember the shows you save and whether you marked them Interested or Going; - create, deliver and manage newsletters, below-face alerts, custom price targets and other messages you request; - provide and administer Front Row or another paid membership; - answer questions, provide support, moderate member spaces and respond to reports; - show you account features based on your own saved shows and choices; - understand how people use FaceValue content and improve the services; - operate, troubleshoot and secure FaceValue services; - prevent abuse, fraud, unauthorized access and unwanted email; - maintain unsubscribe and suppression records so FaceValue does not contact people who opted out; - keep records required for billing, tax, legal, security and dispute-resolution purposes; and - comply with law and protect the rights, safety and integrity of FaceValue, its members and others. FaceValue will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without first providing appropriate notice and obtaining consent where required. ## 3\. Your choices and consent ### Newsletters and concert emails FaceValue sends newsletters, concert alerts and price-target messages through the subscription and preference controls connected to those services. You can: - unsubscribe using the link in any FaceValue marketing email; - manage available newsletter preferences through your Ghost member account; - turn an individual below-face alert or price target off in the tracker; or - contact FaceValue for help with your preferences. Marking a show **Interested** or **Going** records your show choice only. It does not sign you up for an email alert. Turning on a below-face alert or setting an email price target is the choice that authorizes that email. FaceValue records the control used, the notice version and the time of the choice so that consent and later changes can be respected. Turning an alert off does not remove the show from your Interested or Going list. Removing a show does not necessarily cancel a separate newsletter subscription. These controls are kept separate so you can manage them independently. FaceValue may still send transactional or service messages needed to administer an account, paid membership, security event or privacy request where permitted by law. ### Withdrawing consent You may withdraw consent to optional uses at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawing consent may mean FaceValue can no longer provide a feature that depends on the information. For example, an email alert cannot be delivered without an email address. ## 4\. Cookies, local storage and analytics FaceValue uses cookies and local storage for service operation, including: - **Tracker session cookie (`fv_session`)**, an essential, secure and HTTP-only cookie that keeps a member signed in to the tracker for up to 30 days. - **Ghost membership and Portal technology**, used for member sign-in, subscriptions, account management and checkout. - **Temporary sign-in handoff storage**, used to complete the sign-in journey between the Ghost website and the tracker. - **Stripe checkout technology**, used when paid membership or payment features are available. Ghost also provides first-party website analytics and member attribution. Ghost's web analytics are cookie-free and do not use persistent browser storage to identify visitors across sessions, browsers or devices. They may count a visitor within a 24-hour window and, when a member is logged in, associate content views with that member's Ghost ID and membership type. FaceValue uses this information to understand readership and improve its content and services. FaceValue does not currently use third-party advertising trackers or personal information for interest-based advertising. If that changes, FaceValue will update this policy and introduce any notice or consent controls required before enabling them. You can clear cookies through your browser. Blocking essential cookies may prevent sign-in, account, Portal or payment features from working. ## 5\. When FaceValue shares information FaceValue does not sell or rent personal information. It shares information only as needed for the purposes described in this policy. ### Service providers FaceValue uses the following providers: - **Ghost** for website publishing, member accounts, newsletters, first-party analytics and paid membership. Ghost may process your email, name, membership status, subscription choices, content activity, signup attribution and billing events. - **Supabase** for tracker account data and preferences. Supabase may process account identifiers, email, saved shows, alerts, consent records and membership status. - **Vercel** for tracker and administrative hosting. Vercel may process requests, IP and device information, service logs and information submitted to tracker features. - **Brevo** for certain transactional and alert emails. Brevo may process email addresses, message content, delivery identifiers and delivery, bounce, complaint or unsubscribe events. - **Stripe** for payment processing through Ghost. Stripe handles contact, billing and payment information. FaceValue receives limited subscription and payment-status information. - **Discord**, if Front Row member-community features are offered, for member rooms and the Ask FaceValue desk. Discord may process account information and content posted in those spaces. FaceValue remains responsible for personal information transferred to service providers for processing. Providers may use their own subprocessors and may process information in other countries. ### Legal, safety and business reasons FaceValue may disclose information when reasonably necessary to: - comply with a lawful request, court order or legal obligation; - investigate abuse, fraud, security incidents or threats to safety; - establish, exercise or defend legal rights; or - complete a sale, financing, reorganization or transfer of all or part of FaceValue, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal protections. ### Member-shared content If you post in a Front Row member room, your content may be visible to other members of that room. Ask FaceValue answers may be shared inside the Front Row room so one answer can help more than one member. FaceValue will not republish your question or screenshot outside the member room without your express permission. ## 6\. Processing outside Canada FaceValue is based in Toronto, but some service providers operate or store information in other countries, including the United States and European Union. Information processed outside Canada may be subject to the laws and lawful-access rules of the country where it is processed. FaceValue remains accountable for personal information transferred to service providers for processing and uses contractual, technical and organizational measures appropriate to the service and information involved. You may contact FaceValue for more information about service providers and cross-border processing. ## 7\. How long FaceValue keeps information FaceValue keeps personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing the service, honouring your choices, resolving disputes, maintaining security and meeting legal obligations. In general: - account, saved-show, preference and membership information is kept while the account or related service is active and for a limited period afterward; - active alert and price-target settings are kept until you turn them off, the related concert passes, the account is deleted or FaceValue determines they are no longer needed; - email delivery and consent records are kept long enough to demonstrate consent, prevent duplicate sends and manage delivery; - a minimal unsubscribe or suppression record may be kept after other account information is deleted so FaceValue can continue to honour the opt-out; - support, Ask FaceValue and moderation records are kept for the time needed to answer the request, operate the member space and handle disputes or safety issues; - billing and transaction records are kept for the period required by tax, accounting and other laws; and - provider backups and security logs are deleted or overwritten according to operational and provider schedules. ## 8\. Safeguards and privacy breaches FaceValue uses administrative, technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. These include access controls, encrypted connections, restricted credentials, signed sessions, database permissions, backups and periodic security review. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. If a privacy breach occurs, FaceValue will investigate and document it. Where required by law, FaceValue will notify affected people and report the breach to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. ## 9\. Access, correction and deletion requests You may ask FaceValue to: - explain whether it holds personal information about you; - explain how that information has been used and disclosed; - provide access to your personal information, subject to legal exceptions; - correct inaccurate or incomplete information; - withdraw consent or change communication preferences; - delete information that FaceValue no longer needs to keep; or - answer a question or complaint about FaceValue's privacy practices. Send requests to **hello@facevalueto.ca**. FaceValue may need to verify your identity using the minimum information reasonably necessary before acting on a request. FaceValue aims to acknowledge requests within seven days and responds to verified access requests within 30 calendar days, unless applicable law permits an extension. FaceValue will explain any lawful reason a request cannot be completed in full. Deleting a FaceValue account may not automatically delete a separate Discord, Ghost or payment-provider account. FaceValue will explain which parts it can handle and which requests must be made directly to another provider. ## 10\. Children FaceValue is intended for a general concertgoing audience and is not directed to children under 13\. FaceValue does not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 without consent that is valid under applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact FaceValue so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate. ## 11\. External links and embedded content FaceValue links to ticketing platforms, resale marketplaces, social networks, videos and other third-party services. Visiting or interacting with those services may disclose information such as your IP address, browser information and the page that referred you. Their privacy policies, not this policy, govern how they handle that information. ## 12\. Changes to this policy FaceValue may update this policy as its services or legal obligations change. The revised page will show a new **Last updated** date. FaceValue will provide additional notice, and obtain consent where required, if a change materially affects how personal information is handled. ## 13\. Contact FaceValue **Privacy contact:** FaceValue Privacy Lead **Email:** hello@facevalueto.ca **Mail:** FaceValue Β· PO Box 99900 KR 529 021, RPO Keele, Toronto, ON M6N 0A5 **Operator:** FaceValue is a registered Ontario sole proprietorship. FaceValue has designated the FaceValue Privacy Lead as the person accountable for its privacy practices. You may request the identity of the person holding that role using the contact information above. If FaceValue cannot resolve a privacy concern, you may contact the [Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada](https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/report-a-concern/?ref=facevalueto.ca). ### Terms of Service URL: https://facevalueto.ca/terms-of-service/ Last updated: 2026-08-07T18:04:03.000Z **Effective date:** August 6, 2026 **Last updated:** August 6, 2026 These Terms of Service (the **Terms**) govern your use of FaceValue's websites, Concert Tracker, free membership, emails, Front Row membership and related community features (together, the **Services**). FaceValue is a registered Ontario sole proprietorship based in Toronto, Ontario. In these Terms, **FaceValue**, **we**, **us** and **our** refer to FaceValue. **You** refers to the person using or purchasing the Services. By using the Services, creating an account or purchasing a membership, you agree to these Terms and the [Privacy Policy](https://facevalueto.ca/privacy/). If you do not agree, do not use the Services. ## 1\. Eligibility and accounts You must be at least 18 years old to purchase Front Row, or have a parent or legal guardian's permission and authorization to use their payment method. Accounts and memberships are for individual use. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. You may not share, transfer, resell or make your account available to anyone else. ## 2\. What FaceValue provides FaceValue provides independent concert-ticket information and editorial guidance. Free Services may include Toronto concert listings, ticket-price information, tracked shows, public Buy, Wait and Tossup verdicts, Deal Checks, alerts and Presale Breakdowns. At launch, Front Row includes: - advice about the concert and exact tickets you are considering; - answers about Toronto venues, sections and the concert experience; - custom get-in and section price targets on shows covered by the Concert Tracker; - member access to Presale Breakdowns before their public release; - a members-only Discord space and the Ask FaceValue desk; and - opportunities to influence which tracked shows receive a deeper read or which member features are developed next. Front Row is designed for decisions you can plan around, not as an instant purchasing hotline. FaceValue normally responds to Ask FaceValue questions within 24 hours, but response times can vary. Price targets are available only for shows supported by the Concert Tracker, and their usefulness depends on the coverage and freshness shown for each event. A Discord account is required to use the Front Row member room and Ask FaceValue desk. Members who do not use Discord can still use available Concert Tracker targets and receive the related email alerts. Front Row does not include ticket purchasing, ticket transfers, custody of tickets or money, guaranteed access to tickets, or private brokerage. FaceValue is not a ticket seller, resale marketplace, broker or agent for you or any ticketing platform. ## 3\. Editorial judgment and no guaranteed outcome Ticket markets change quickly and available data can be incomplete, delayed or wrong. FaceValue's verdicts, answers, targets and other guidance are informed editorial judgments, not guarantees. FaceValue does not guarantee that you will save money, obtain a particular seat or ticket, receive an alert before a listing changes, or achieve any other purchasing outcome. You remain responsible for reviewing a listing and deciding whether, when and where to buy. Any ticket transaction is between you and the third-party seller you choose. ## 4\. Front Row prices and payment The founding Front Row price is: - **Monthly:** $7 CAD, billed each month; or - **Annual:** $60 CAD, billed each year. Both plans are billed in advance and automatically renew at the same interval until cancelled. There is no free trial. All prices are in Canadian dollars unless the checkout says otherwise. Any applicable taxes will be disclosed before you subscribe and shown in your checkout total. Ghost provides membership checkout and account management, and Stripe processes payment. FaceValue does not receive your full payment-card number. You authorize the applicable recurring charge when you complete checkout. If a payment fails, Ghost or Stripe may retry it and access may be limited or ended. ## 5\. Founding rate Your founding rate remains locked while your Front Row membership stays continuously active. If you cancel, allow the membership to expire or lose access because payment cannot be collected, the founding rate is no longer guaranteed. If you join again later, the price then offered at checkout will apply. ## 6\. When access begins Ghost membership access and available Front Row features in the Concert Tracker begin after successful payment. A Front Row Discord invitation is normally provided within 24 hours. Some features depend on third-party services, tracked-show coverage or a current email address. FaceValue cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to every feature. ## 7\. Cancellation You may cancel Front Row at any time through the Ghost member Portal. Cancellation stops future renewal charges. Unless FaceValue tells you otherwise, you will keep access through the end of the monthly or annual period you already paid for. Cancelling Front Row does not automatically delete your free FaceValue account or your accounts with Ghost, Stripe or Discord. See the [Privacy Policy](https://facevalueto.ca/privacy/) for information about privacy and deletion requests. ## 8\. Refunds Payments are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated below. FaceValue does not provide partial refunds for an initial purchase, a monthly payment or time left after you cancel. As a courtesy, if your **annual** membership renews and you did not intend to continue, contact FaceValue within seven calendar days after the renewal charge. FaceValue will refund that annual renewal payment and end the renewed membership. This courtesy does not apply to an initial annual purchase or to monthly renewals. FaceValue will correct confirmed duplicate or incorrect charges. If FaceValue permanently ends Front Row, future renewals will be cancelled and annual members will receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of their current annual term. Nothing in these Terms limits a refund, cancellation or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer-protection law. ## 9\. Member spaces and questions Front Row's member community is hosted on Discord and is also subject to Discord's own terms and policies. Content you post in a member room, including a question, screenshot or ticket listing, may be visible to other members of that room. FaceValue may answer or organize member questions inside the Front Row space so one answer can help more than one member. Do not post payment-card numbers, passwords, government identifiers or information you do not have the right to share. FaceValue will not republish your question or screenshot outside the member room without your express permission. You may not use a FaceValue member space to sell or broker tickets, collect money, harass others, impersonate someone, post unlawful or infringing material, send spam, scrape content or interfere with the Services. FaceValue may remove content or restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect members, the Services or FaceValue. ## 10\. Acceptable use You may use the Services only for personal, lawful purposes. You may not: - copy, republish, sell or commercially exploit FaceValue content without permission; - share member-only content outside the membership; - circumvent access controls or attempt to gain unauthorized access; - use automated tools to scrape, overload or disrupt the Services; - submit false, deceptive or abusive information; or - use the Services in a way that violates another person's rights or applicable law. ## 11\. Intellectual property The FaceValue and Front Row names, lockups, designs, writing, analysis, data presentation and other original materials are owned by FaceValue or used with permission. These Terms give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and revocable right to use the Services. They do not transfer ownership of any FaceValue intellectual property. You keep ownership of content you submit. You give FaceValue a limited licence to host, display, reproduce and use that content only as needed to operate the Services, answer your request, moderate the member space and comply with law. ## 12\. Third-party services and links The Services may rely on or link to Ghost, Stripe, Discord, Supabase, Vercel, Brevo, ticketing platforms, resale marketplaces and other third parties. Their services, prices, availability, terms and privacy practices are outside FaceValue's control. A link, price reference or discussion of a platform is not an endorsement or a guarantee of that platform. ## 13\. Service availability and changes FaceValue may maintain, improve, add, remove or change non-core features. When a change materially affects a paid membership, FaceValue will provide reasonable notice where practical. FaceValue may pause new memberships, place reasonable limits on a feature, or temporarily interrupt access for maintenance, security, technical problems or circumstances outside its control. FaceValue may end Front Row as described in Section 8. ## 14\. Suspension and termination FaceValue may suspend or end your access if payment cannot be collected, you materially breach these Terms, or your conduct reasonably threatens another person, the community or the Services. Where practical, FaceValue will explain the reason and provide an opportunity to correct a remediable issue. You remain responsible for charges incurred before suspension or termination. Any refund will be governed by Section 8 and applicable law. ## 15\. Disclaimers and limitation of liability The Services are provided on an **as available** basis. To the extent permitted by law, FaceValue disclaims implied warranties that can lawfully be excluded, including warranties of uninterrupted availability, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the extent permitted by law, FaceValue will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, lost opportunities, or losses caused by a third-party ticket transaction, changing ticket price, unavailable listing, missed alert or reliance on editorial guidance. To the extent permitted by law, FaceValue's total liability arising from the paid Services will not exceed the amount you paid to FaceValue for Front Row during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. ## 16\. Privacy FaceValue handles personal information as described in the [Privacy Policy](https://facevalueto.ca/privacy/). The policy explains what FaceValue and its service providers collect, how the information is used and the choices available to you. ## 17\. Changes to these Terms FaceValue may update these Terms as the Services or legal requirements change. The revised page will show a new **Last updated** date. FaceValue will provide reasonable advance notice of a material change that affects a paid membership, unless a faster change is needed for legal, security or abuse-prevention reasons. Changes will apply from their stated effective date and will not retroactively change a completed billing period. If you do not agree to a material change, you may cancel before your next renewal. ## 18\. Governing law These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any right you have to bring a claim elsewhere under applicable consumer law, disputes will be submitted to the courts located in Ontario. ## 19\. Contact FaceValue Questions about these Terms, billing, cancellation or Front Row can be sent to: **FaceValue** **Email:** hello@facevalueto.ca **Phone:** 581-727-0007 **Mail:** PO Box 99900 KR 529 021, RPO Keele, Toronto, ON M6N 0A5 **Operator:** FaceValue is a registered Ontario sole proprietorship. ### Welcome to Front Row.

This will mark her second time in Toronto, with the first being only days after this post! That's right, she will be gracing the Cabana Pool Bar on August 1st for a summery, sold-out performance that is sure to warm fans up for the main event this November. Here's everything you need to know before heading into presale, including whether I think Tyla in Toronto will be a **Buy** or a **Wait**.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Toronto has been waiting for its first Tyla show ++ Sure, she'll be here in just a [few days](https://www.livenation.com/event/1718v0G6G5SZZUA/tyla-hosts-cabana-toronto?ref=facevalueto.ca), but that will be for a 19+ daytime club event at the Cabana Pool Bar, far from being a proper tour stop. Her previously scheduled May 2024 Danforth Music Hall show **never ended up happening**, as she canceled the bulk of her tour due to injury. That makes Coca-Cola Coliseum the first real opportunity for fans to have the full Tyla headline experience, now with two full-lengths of hype behind her. ### A theoretical venue jump - On paper, Tyla is moving from the \~1,500-capacity Danforth to just over 7,000 seats at Coca-Cola Coliseum, **nearly a 5x increase**. The distinction is that, well, she never actually played the Danforth. There's no previous box-office result showing how much her local demand has grown. I think that uncertainty shows in the venues she's playing. She's in the 2025 Zara Larsson era of her career, where she hasn't quite had her pop breakthrough moment, so promoters can't tell whether to put her at the 2,500-capacity History or the ambitious 16,000-capacity Scotiabank Arena. So, we're left with the **ugly duckling** booking at Coca-Cola Coliseum instead. ### Coca-Cola Coliseum shows sell badly -- Being the ugly duckling venue, shows at Coca-Cola tend to have a harder time pushing tickets. You don't have to look far back to see the proof. Earlier in March, [FKA twigs](https://facevalueto.ca/fka-twigs-body-high-tour-2026/) saw her prices drop **upwards of $606.77** for her Toronto show at the same venue. 2026 breakout pop artist [Madison Beer](https://facevalueto.ca/madison-beer-the-locket-tour-2026/) was looking like a surefire sellout, only for those prices to collapse days leading up to the show. Both shows I gave a **Wait** verdict to and ended up being right. [Madison Beer Toronto: Buy or Wait? | FaceValueMadison Beer at Coca-Cola Coliseum on July 10, 2026\.

Mind you, she's performing another show in Toronto **THIS WEEK**, and this A\*Pop show is less than four months away. If this album doesn't start popping off **quickly**, while we're in peak summer mode, I find it hard to believe the momentum will pick up in dreary November. ### Some quick-fire factors: - **Only two Canadian dates, with nothing nearby for Toronto +** - **Resale for Cabana is almost $300 +** - **Other venues on the tour are much smaller -** --- ## The verdict I'm expecting Tyla at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto to be a **Wait**. I expect the onsale period to look similar to that of Madison Beer: a hot presale that looks like an instant sellout, followed by several months of above-face resale, and then a price collapse in the days leading up to the show, bringing tickets below face value. ![FaceValue Verdict for beabadoobee - The Powerlines Tour in Toronto: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/fvverdict-wait-stamp-1.png) ## Presale Results **Added*: August 17th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Tyla in Toronto and how they compare to the average prices for each section for all other Coca-Cola Coliseum concerts in 2026. - **GA**: $90.94 (-36%) - **Floor**: $115.94 - $267.79 (-24%) - **100s**: $65.94 – $267.79 (-22%) - **VIP**: $345.57 - $687.17 (+8%) Amazing, consumer-friendly pricing from Tyla for this show.

She's hitting the road for her first-ever arena tour, with a **Toronto** stop slated for **October 7th, 2026, at Scotiabank Arena**. Presale starts on June 29th at 10am, with general sale taking place on July 2nd at 10am. Here's everything you need to know before tickets go on sale, and whether I expect beabadoobee in Toronto to be a **Buy** or a **Wait**. Let's jump in. **Presale Results Added*: July 18th, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## Everything you need to know for Toronto's biggest shows Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime. ## The facts - **Who**: **beabadoobee** | Support: Wisp - **When**: Wednesday, Oct 7, 2026 | 8:00PM - **Where**: Scotiabank Arena | 12,735 Capacity - **Why**: Touring behind her upcoming album, *Pylon*, due out Sept 18 - **Last Toronto show**: Coca-Cola Coliseum (9/15/24) - **Nearest stops**: Montreal (10/8) ### Presale Dates - **Artist**: June 29 @ 10AM - **Amex**: June 30 @ 10AM - **Live Nation, Live Insider, Ticketmaster**: July 1 @ 10AM - **General Sale**: July 2 @ 10AM #### Ticket Links Wednesday, October 7: [Ticketmaster](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/beabadoobee-the-powerlines-tour-toronto-ontario-10-07-2026/event/100064D1BDBFF46B?ref=facevalueto.ca) | [Stubhub](https://www.stubhub.ca/beabadoobee-toronto-tickets-10-7-2026/event/161462493/?backUrl=%2Fbeabadoobee-tickets%2Fperformer%2F100375479<=43.676&lg=-79.485&ref=facevalueto.ca) ***Note** *:* Any listings before June 29th are speculative. Do not buy. ### Pricing I was able to get an early look at some of the ticket pricing for Toronto. Here's how it's shaping up: - **100s:** $160.70/133.20/107.95/79.95 - **300s:** $79.95/? - **GA/Floor:** $? As it stands, this would make beabadoobee one of the cheapest Scotiabank Arena shows of the year. Full prices for beabadoobee in Toronto will be added following the presale at the bottom of the blog in a section called **Presale Results**. [Presale Results](#presale-results) ### Community Chatter Curious how fans are feeling about the tour? Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ-jFpooBYS/?hl=en&ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Facebook Announcement](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ak5EdhCiE/) - [/r/indieheads Subreddit Tour Discussion Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/indieheads/comments/1uel6tl/beabadoobee%5Fannounces%5Ftour%5Fdates%5Fwith%5Fwisp/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![beabadoobee Toronto Scotiabank Arena seating map for The Powerlines Tour - October 7, 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-38.png) 1/3 standing GA pit, 2/3 seated floor for beabadoobee ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since the last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Folks seem shocked she's doing arenas -- Over on the /r/indieheads thread created from the tour announcement, doubts are being cast on Bea's ambitions for this tour. The dominating discourse in the thread is centered around whether she has the ability to sell out arenas at her current popularity. ![Reddit comments about the beabadoobee tour](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-39.png) ![Reddit comments about the beabadoobee tour](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-41.png) When I'm checking the online discourse following the tour announcement, I'm trying to gauge the sentiment. Usually, a big announcement will swing in the direction of either *"OMG how am I going to win this ticket war?!"* or *"Uhm.. arenas..?"* So far, beabadoobee looks to have swung to the latter. ![Reddit comments about the beabadoobee tour](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-40.png) ### Prices are looking super affordable ++ Not something you see every day. Early looks at pricing for beabadoobee through season pass holders show prices 25-50% cheaper than Scotiabank Arena averages for 2026\. If these hold true and extend to floor pricing, there isn't a lot of room for tickets to drop lower! ### She's gunning for the limelight + Her upcoming album, *Pylon*, features some serious star power; Deftones' Chino Moreno, fellow label-mates Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975, Turnstile's Brendan Yates, and Hayley Williams of.. Hayley Williams fame! Pairing that with an arena tour and makes it feel less like a gradual rise and more like a deliberate swing at the big leagues. [Turnstile Toronto: Buy or Wait? | FaceValueTurnstile at Woodbine Park on September 12, 2026\. FaceValue says Buy. Here’s why Toronto fans should act fast on Never Enough Tour tickets.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/icon/FV-211fa5e4-77cf-4f9d-8a39-29b9f4e0cd8a.png)FaceValue TorontoDima![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/thumbnail/turnstile-verdict-buy-1-27b41603-206c-4a64-8714-d711a88f33f3.jpg)](https://facevalueto.ca/turnstile-toronto-never-enough-tour-2026/) ### The mass-appeal isn't there yet - beabadoobee doesn't have that feral of a fanbase that can turn enough heads between now and October. At the end of the day, she needs to convince over 12,000 fans to drop \~$80+ on tickets, and that just isn't a guarantee in this day and age with how conscious fans are about ticketing decisions. ### Some quick-fire factors: - **Wisp won't help to sell arena tickets (sorry) -** - **Wednesday shows don't sway casual fans -** - **Montreal the very next day -** --- ## The verdict I'm expecting **beabadoobee** in **Toronto** to be a **Wait**. Low pricing will get her core audience in the door, but I just don't see enough of a rush for a buzzy presale and not enough in the chamber to sustain a slow-burn sellout. You should see cheap tickets available closer to showtime. ![FaceValue Verdict for beabadoobee - The Powerlines Tour in Toronto: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/fvverdict-wait-stamp-1.png) Want updates for beabadoobee in Toronto?

Toronto just missed out on the first part of the tour, which ran in 2025 and passed through Buffalo. Luckily, GTA fans won't have to cross the border this time to jump in the pit of what will certainly be a highly energetic mosh fest. Here's everything you need to know heading into presale and whether Turnstile in Toronto will be a **Buy** or a **Wait**. **Presale Results Added*: July 18th, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## I write breakdowns for the biggest tour announcements Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

[Presale Results](#presale-results) ### Community Chatter Curious how fans are feeling about the tour? Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ75ShWODWL/?hl=en&ref=facevalueto.ca) - [TikTok Announcement](https://www.tiktok.com/@turnstileluvconnection/video/7654636750383500575?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [/r/turnstile Subreddit Tour Discussion Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/turnstile/comments/1udmzay/turnstile%5Fthe%5Fnever%5Fending%5Ftour%5Fpt%5F2/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![Turnstile Toronto Woodbine Park seating map for Never Enough Tour - September 12, 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-13.png) Looks like it'll be just one giant standing GA area for all 10,000 tickets ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since the last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### First Toronto show in four\* years + While they did do an opening set for Blink-182 back in 2023, their last headline performance was in **October 2022 at History**. That's plenty of time for demand to accumulate, especially given their popularity has only boomed since then. ### Four times the capacity - History holds only 2,500, four times less than Woodbine Park. That show was sold out, but I remember being able to get a ticket week of for face value after The Avalanches had canceled their same-day show (☹️). ### Woodbine Park in September - It's an unconventional venue choice for most, but feels perfect for Turnstile. There's room for 10,000 in a space that is entirely GA. The mosh pits will be *glorious* and **plentiful**. The only caveat is that the weather has to play ball. September can be quite stormy in Toronto. Just last September, Twenty One Pilots had to cut their show short at RBC Amphitheatre due to lightning. man I'm still mad we didn't get refunds for this.. ### Turnstile doesn't price gouge their fans ++ Tickets for their 2022 History show were **only $56.70**, and I remember tickets for their 2025 Buffalo show being in the ballpark of 100 CAD. I imagine they had every ability to book RBC Amphitheatre had they wanted to, but I'm seeing the choice to play all GA Woodbine as a sign that they're doing this one **for the kids**. I anticipate pricing to be solid here, maybe 110 CAD tops for a ticket. If that's the case, a sellout feels much more likely. ### Are we near the upper bounds of hardcore crowds? - Can a hardcore band really sell out 10,000 tickets in Toronto? The idea almost feels too *cool* to be true. I'll admit this factor is entirely vibes-based! My gut is telling me it shouldn't be too hard to get tickets for face value, at the very least, day-of. ### But they really are so hot right now + There's no longer any denying it, Turnstile is the biggest hardcore band in the world right now. With marquee Coachella sets, Grammy awards, and some of the wildest crowd footage, it's hard not to cheer them on their hot-streak. > [@goldenvoice](https://www.tiktok.com/@goldenvoice?refer=embed&ref=facevalueto.ca "@goldenvoice") > > giving the people what they want 🫑 hardcore history was made with @TURNSTILE at Exposition Park πŸ‘Š [#turnstile](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/turnstile?refer=embed&ref=facevalueto.ca "turnstile") [#neverenough](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/neverenough?refer=embed&ref=facevalueto.ca "neverenough") [#expositionpark](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/expositionpark?refer=embed&ref=facevalueto.ca "expositionpark") [#losangeles](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/losangeles?refer=embed&ref=facevalueto.ca "losangeles") [#moshpit](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/moshpit?refer=embed&ref=facevalueto.ca "moshpit") > > [♬ original sound - Goldenvoice](https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7557850444811275021?refer=embed&ref=facevalueto.ca "♬ original sound - Goldenvoice") ### Some quick-fire factors: - **Saturday night show +** - **Notable opening acts +** - **Lone Canadian date +** - **Second added date very unlikely +** --- ## The verdict While I'm not expecting tickets to instantly sell out during the presale, I don't think there will be many chances for tickets to fall below face value. I'm calling that Turnstile in Toronto will be a **Buy**. ![FaceValue Verdict for Turnstile - Never Enough Tour Pt. 2 in Toronto: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/fvverdict-buy-stamp.png) **Want updates for Turnstile in Toronto?** Every price I capture for this show lands on its [page on the FaceValue Concert Tracker](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/turnstile-toronto-2026-09-12-8bba0e43?ref=facevalueto.ca), and you can turn on a below face alert there to get an email the moment it drops under face value. - Turnstile Concert Tracker: [Sep 12, 2026](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/turnstile-toronto-2026-09-12-8bba0e43?ref=facevalueto.ca) ## Presale Results **Added*: July 18th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Turnstile in Toronto. - **GA**: $150.00 Significantly higher than I expected, which especially stings considering tickets started at $31 USD (\~$43 CAD) in cities like Miami. > [ View this post on Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/p/DaBEVmcEXFD/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fcampaign=loading) > > [A post shared by FaceValue (@facevalueto)](https://www.instagram.com/p/DaBEVmcEXFD/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fcampaign=loading) Someone in the comments of my Instagram post reached out to Turnstile's manager for more info and we got a few juicy details from it: - They didn't want to do a show where fans were stuck in seats. - That limited their options for venues, which lead to astronomical expenses. - Allegedly, they are **losing** money on the show even at a $150.00 price-tag. - They acknowledge that this plan backfired. - Exchange rate and building the infrastructure for the show at Woodbine Park contributed to costs. As of July 18th, the show is not on pace to sell out, with **over 6,500 tickets still available** for purchase on Ticketmaster (35% sold) and selling about \~10 tickets a day. So far, I've yet to spot any deals, but as it stands, Turnstile in Toronto is shaping up to be a **Wait**.

She followed that format for another 17 shows since then, and now she's announcing a 23-date arena tour under the exact same rules. No new album. No singles. No phones. Good luck. The Lost Tour hits Scotiabank Arena on Thursday, October 1st, 2026, with Alex G opening. A substantial jump since her last Toronto headline at Echo Beach in 2022\. Artist presale runs June 9th and 10th at 10AM, with general sale starting on June 12th. I've collected everything you need to know about Phoebe Bridgers in Toronto right here, including whether I think it's going to be a **Buy** or a **Wait**. Lock up that phone and buckle up. There's a lot to cover here. **Presale Results Added*: June 24th, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## I write breakdowns for the biggest tour announcements Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

In order to access the queue on Day 1, the email address on your Seated registration MUST match the email address on your Ticketmaster account. If they do not match, then you will NOT have access to the queue to purchase tickets. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster account, you must create one with this email address before the presale begins. [Create a Ticketmaster account](https://www.ticketmaster.com/?ref=facevalueto.ca) Tickets are limited and receiving a code does not guarantee your ability to purchase tickets on Day 1 - they are available on a first come, first served basis. If you do not purchase 4 tickets on Day 1, your same code will also unlock tickets on Day 2. Fans selected for Day 2 will receive a unique code that unlocks the ability to purchase up to 4 tickets when the presale begins on June 10 at 10AM local. Receiving a code does not guarantee tickets - they are available on a first come, first served basis. Phoebe Bridgers has also opted to make her tour phoneless. Here's what you need to know about that: #### Phone-free policy ****Yondr Notice:** Phones, cameras, or any devices with recording and filming capabilities are prohibited. This event will utilize Yondr pouches to secure all devices during the performance. Upon arrival, all phones, smartwatches, and related accessories will be secured in Yondr pouches.

Any guest observed using a non-permitted device during the performance will be escorted out of the venue. #### Ticket Links Thursday, October 1: [Ticketmaster](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/phoebe-bridgers-the-lost-tour-toronto-ontario-10-01-2026/event/100064BC980ABF61?ref=facevalueto.ca) | [Stubhub](https://www.stubhub.ca/phoebe-bridgers-toronto-tickets-10-1-2026/event/161301918/?backUrl=%2Fphoebe-bridgers-tickets%2Fperformer%2F1515068<=45.499&lg=-73.57&ref=facevalueto.ca) | [TickPick](https://www.tickpick.com/buy-phoebe-bridgers-tickets-scotiabank-arena-10-1-26-7pm/8028494/?c=CONCERTS&cc=POP%20%2F%20ROCK&ref=facevalueto.ca) Friday, October 2: [Ticketmaster](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/phoebe-bridgers-the-lost-tour-toronto-ontario-10-02-2026/event/100064C4D9AFA712?ref=facevalueto.ca) | [Stubhub](https://www.stubhub.ca/phoebe-bridgers-toronto-tickets-10-2-2026/event/161321557/?backUrl=%2Fphoebe-bridgers-tickets%2Fperformer%2F1515068<=43.709&lg=-79.406&bd=true&ref=facevalueto.ca) ***Note** *:* Any listings before June 9th are speculative.

Here's how it's shaping up: - **100s:** $209.50/204.25/178.50/136.50 - **300s:** $119.50/$104 - **GA:** $? So far, prices are looking pretty fair for Phoebe! Full prices for Phoebe Bridgers in Toronto will be added following the presale at the bottom of the blog in a section called **Presale Results**. [Presale Results](#presale-results) ### Community Chatter Curious how fans are feeling about the tour? Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZNSNKxFqyX/?hl=en&img%5Findex=1&ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Facebook Announcement](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1JkAx91CFj/) - [/r/phoebebridgers Subreddit Tour Discussion Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/phoebebridgers/comments/1txlvu3/the%5Flost%5Ftour%5Fannouncement%5Fmegathread/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![Phoebe Bridgers Toronto Scotiabank Arena seating map for The Lost Tour 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image.png) Two standing GA floor sections, very interesting ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since the last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Phone-free has ruffled some feathers - Her announcement to make the entire tour phoneless has sparked a lot of debate. > phone-free concerts are classist as fuck and i’ll die on that hill [https://t.co/uxAre2PSRT](https://t.co/uxAre2PSRT?ref=facevalueto.ca) > > β€” eilidh (@telephonehigh) [June 6, 2026](https://x.com/telephonehigh/status/2063256635087171676?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=facevalueto.ca) > no phone concerts are very chic & i don't think it's 'inaccesible' considering they allow you to keep your phone out if you need it medically. you're all just big babies who want a good instagram story. > > β€” β˜† (@sunbugclearcup) [June 5, 2026](https://x.com/sunbugclearcup/status/2063008809904177639?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=facevalueto.ca) Her audience skews young, and so the announcement has triggered **noticeable panic** online about being phone-less for several hours. The format isn't entirely out of left field for her; she had just tested it across 18 small promo shows in May and a Madison Square Garden charity show. I've seen some fans poke fun at the situation as a way to dissuade others from buying tickets. > wow the no phones thing is so fucked up everyone should boycott and not buy phoebe bridgers tickets > > β€” keira (@kettlevinyl) [June 5, 2026](https://x.com/kettlevinyl/status/2062948018341507492?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=facevalueto.ca) > im serious and people should especially not buy tickets to the toronto show on october 1st > > β€” keira (@kettlevinyl) [June 5, 2026](https://x.com/kettlevinyl/status/2062991584598085991?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=facevalueto.ca) But honestly, I think it genuinely will filter out a portion of the casual buyer pool who would have shown up for the vibe and the story. It's a fascinating scenario that feels distinctly 2026\. No matter how the sale plays out, it'll be fun to see how the story around the decision develops. ### The cryptic rollout isn't arena-friendly - Her current era started exactly a month ago on May 7th when Phoebe was announced to play a show in Roswell, New Mexico, with one day's notice. The gig was promoted with flyers posted around the city, which fans had to confirm with the venue for its legitimacy. The posters said **no recording devices** would be allowed during the concert. > [ View this post on Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/p/DYFVUawDLMw/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fcampaign=loading) > > [A post shared by OnesToWatch (@onestowatch)](https://www.instagram.com/p/DYFVUawDLMw/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fcampaign=loading) During the 400-capacity show, Phoebe played a set with an extended section of unreleased music. In the weeks since then, she has played another 17 shows, all phoneless, and all with setlists that looked similar to this: ![Phoebe Bridgers setlist at Bloomingtom, IN on May 28, 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-2.png) This kind of mysterious rollout works great when you're a big artist playing a string of tiny shows, but scaling that up to arena-level ambitions is where things get iffy. She has to convince around **15,000 fans in each city** to buy in at arena-level prices for a tour that will be chock-full of songs **they won't even know** at the time of buying, and you're also telling them they can't use their phones. It's a lot of stock to put into an unconventional marketing plan, but it could pay off for her. Her popularity has jumped significantly since her last solo tour, and this strategy could end up winning over more fans than it filters out. ### The pricing is looking fan-friendly ++ While we don't have full pricing details yet, what we do have looks promising. - **100s:** $209.50/204.25/178.50/136.50 - **300s:** $119.50/$104 - **GA:** $? These prices are around 20% cheaper than the average for Scotiabank Arena in 2026\. With care being taken to split artist presale across two dates, her doing a full MSG charity show, and adding a two-week ticket transfer delay, I have a feeling she's going to also opt out of dynamic and Platinum pricing. We'll have to wait and see how GA pricing plays out, but if it follows the pattern of being 20% below average, that would put it at around $220. ### The Boygenius tour had similar ambitions -- This is the most recent and relevant comparison we have to Phoebe Bridgers as an arena-level act. The 2023 tour with Boygenius (her indie rock supergroup with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus) was targeting similarly sized venues with 15-20k capacity. Tickets across the majority of dates ended up plummeting in resale value, making almost all of them (including the Toronto stop at Bud Stage) a **Wait**. ![Boygenius price history for their 2023 tour (ticketdata.com)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-3.png) The difference now is that three years have passed, and Phoebe Bridgers is now more popular than Boygenius ever was. Regardless, it's a clear example that illustrates how dramatically a hype balloon can pop between on-sale and show day. ### Some quick-fire factors: - **Only other Canadian date is Vancouver +** - **Alex G is a solid boost +** - **Ticket buying fatigue heading into summer -** - **Noticeable amount of "how do I get tickets?" buzz +** Wow, this really feels like a tough one to call. For those keeping score at home, we're at a net zero between Buy and Wait signals, which would put this in the realm of **Tossup**. However, I don't want to leave you with an unsatisfying result, so in the spirit of how Phoebe Bridgers is rolling out this tour, I'll lean into the *vibe* and go with my gut here. --- ## The verdict I'm calling that **Phoebe Bridgers in Toronto** is going to be a **Wait**. While the pricing looks great, the marketing is doing more to split the crowd than draw fans in. I expect the buzz to crescendo into a hot presale, with things cooling down in the following weeks. You should start to see tickets fall below face value in the days or weeks leading up to the show. ![FaceValue Verdict for Phoebe Bridgers - The Lost Tour in Toronto: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/fvverdict-wait-stamp.png) Want updates for **Phoebe Bridgers in Toronto?** Every price I capture lands on the show's [page on the FaceValue Concert Tracker](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/phoebe-bridgers-toronto-2026-10-01-09f6113e?ref=facevalueto.ca), and you can turn on a below face alert there to get an email the moment it drops under face value. - Phoebe Bridgers Concert Tracker: [Oct 1, 2026](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/phoebe-bridgers-toronto-2026-10-01-09f6113e?ref=facevalueto.ca), [Oct 2, 2026](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/phoebe-bridgers-toronto-2026-10-02-d1ab13ee?ref=facevalueto.ca) ## Presale Results **Added*: June 24th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Phoebe Bridgers in Toronto and how they compare to the average prices for each section for all other Scotiabank Arena concerts in 2026. - **GA**: $209.50 (-32%) - **100s**: $136.50 – $538.70 (-21%) - **200s**: $93.25 – $126.00 (-8%) Now that the dust has settled following the presale and general sale, this is how ticket inventory is shaping up for **Phoebe Bridgers** in Toronto. ![Phoebe Bridgers Toronto ticket availability as of 6/24 5:56pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-17.png) Both nights appeared to have sold out. The sold out page doesn't tell the full story here though. When tickets went on sale, fans were surprised to see Platinum pricing enabled across the tour. Days later, after enough backlash, she had sent out emails to those that bought Platinum tickets saying that her team would be refunding the Platinum markup, which made up about half of the cost! > [Platinum Tickets Changed to Standard & Pricing Updated](https://www.reddit.com/r/phoebebridgers/comments/1u7ek09/platinum%5Ftickets%5Fchanged%5Fto%5Fstandard%5Fpricing/?ref=facevalueto.ca) > by [u/bkrutled](https://www.reddit.com/user/bkrutled/?ref=facevalueto.ca) in [phoebebridgers](https://www.reddit.com/r/phoebebridgers/?ref=facevalueto.ca) All in all, I've calculated the savings across the whole tour from the refunds to be in the range of $2,500,000 - $5,000,000! That's a hefty chunk of change back in fans wallets for fighting back against Platinum pricing! As for the current state of inventory, I'm greatly skeptical that we're looking at an actual full-on sellout. I'm still expecting tickets to be available closer to show time. If you have a chance to get tickets that were originally Platinum priced (usually the first 5-8 rows of the 100s), swiping those at the newly reduced prices would be a great deal. --- Join the **FaceValue Live Discord** server to know about every concert announcement and verdict as they happen and to chat live music!

Not the 200s, not pit. **Lawn**. My ticket to see *Star Wars: The Force Awakens* in theatres only cost $14.75. That's when I realized Gracie Abrams was more than just J.J. Abrams' daughter. She was actually way more powerful... The question now, though, is she powerful enough to successfully copy Olivia Rodrigo's touring strategy bar-for-bar and sell out two nights at Scotiabank Arena next February? Let's jump right in and see whether **Gracie Abrams in Toronto** is going to be a **Buy** or a **Wait**. Here's EVERYTHING you need to know before joining the queue. **Presale Results Added*: June 24th, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## I write breakdowns for the biggest tour announcements Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DY4olItlsiR/?hl=en&img%5Findex=1&ref=facevalueto.ca) - [TikTok Announcement](https://www.tiktok.com/@gracieabramshq/photo/7644942883929230622?lang=en&ref=facevalueto.ca) - [/r/popculturechat Tour Discussion Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1tq4sbg/gracie%5Fabrams%5Fannounces%5Fthe%5Flook%5Fat%5Fmy%5Flife%5Ftour/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![Gracie Abrams Toronto Scotiabank Arena seating map for The Look at My Life Tour 2027](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/image-21.png) Fully seated floor with a looooong catwalk ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since the last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Resale for her last show here was insane ++ Gracie Abrams' Budweiser Stage (now RBC Amphitheatre) show last July didn't just sell out, it was one of the most in-demand tickets all summer. Lawn tickets, which are typically the cheapest and easiest to grab, were trading north of **$600** for months leading up to the date. That's a staggering entry price for a 16,000-cap venue, and SBA has less space. She's only gotten bigger since then. ![Gracie Abrams price history for Toronto at Budweiser Stage in July 2025](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/image-22.png) Price history for her last Bud Stage show (in USD) (data from ticketdata.com) ### A perfect storm for pop princess mania ++ Opening for **Taylor Swift** on the Eras Tour set out the red carpet for Gracie to reach main-pop-girl status. Sabrina Carpenter blazed that path all the way up to a Coachella headline. Gracie's clearing it on her own timeline. Sure, it's a bit slower and quieter, but her trajectory is aiming the same way. *The Secret of Us* hit #2 on the Billboard 200, and the subsequent tours were massively successful for her. **The moment has arrived for her taking**. ### She's taking some inspo from Olivia Rodrigo's routing + This is the easiest tour-strategy comparison to make. *The* current pop it-girl is playing multiple nights in every city, arenas across the board, deliberately undersized on initial drops to let the demand do the math. We just watched **Olivia Rodrigo** run this exact playbook for the Unraveling tour to great success. Tickets went on sale, instantly sold out, she added more dates, and those too instantly sold out. Gracie's tour routing is following **the same shape**, which tells you what her team thinks the demand could look like. [Olivia Rodrigo Toronto: Buy or Wait? | FaceValueOlivia Rodrigo at Scotiabank Arena on October 26 + 27, 2026\. FaceValue says Buy β€” here’s why Toronto fans should act quick on tickets.![](https://static.ghost.org/v5.0.0/images/link-icon.svg)FaceValue TorontoDima![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/thumbnail/fvverd-OROD-1-629c4561fe18166a0bca8f33c399451799fe2bed31cb7fd3d240890f611e7141.png)](https://facevalueto.ca/olivia-rodrigo-the-unraveled-tour-2026/) **Do you get dΓ©jΓ -vu when she's with you?* Two nights at SBA is just the *opening offer* here. Watch for a third date to get announced if these sell fast. ### She's not there yet -- Yes, I've been comparing her to the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo – pop stars that are *currently* multiple years into **globe-spanning pop domination**. And while it's clear to see how Gracie Abrams could end up reaching that upper echelon, we're still not there *yet*. Her team has clearly laid out the space for tour dates to balloon, but they could also stay as is and be a static representation of where her demand sits. Let's not get ahead of ourselves too quickly! ### Some quick-fire factors: - **Two Montreal dates weekly later -** - **Thursday + Friday slots +** - **Grace Ives is a buzzy opener +** - **Lead time of 9 months +** - One of the first major 2027 announcements, plenty of time for hype to compound --- ## The verdict Yeah, **Gracie Abrams in Toronto** is most likely going to be a **Buy**. I sincerely doubt that pushing Bud Stage LAWN resale over $600 was a fluke. We're in the midst of seeing the seeds planted by Taylor's Eras booking blossom into a full-blown money tree. ![FaceValue Verdict for Gracie Abrams - The Look at My Life Tour in Toronto: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/fvverdict-buy-stamp-1.png) Both Toronto nights have their own page on the FaceValue Concert Tracker, with their own prices and their own alert: [Feb 18](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/gracie-abrams-toronto-2027-02-18-07632bf8?ref=facevalueto.ca) and [Feb 19](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/gracie-abrams-toronto-2027-02-19-a1d67d3e?ref=facevalueto.ca).

Prices are above the average almost entirely across the board. It's worth noting that **every floor ticket** went on sale as VIP. Now that the dust has settled following the presale and general sale, this is how ticket inventory is shaping up for **Gracie Abrams** in Toronto. First for night 1: ![Gracie Abrams Toronto ticket availability on 6/24 at 5:45pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-15.png) And for night 2: ![Gracie Abrams Toronto ticket availability on 6/24 at 5:45pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-16.png) As of late June, tickets appear to have been picked dry for both nights, with sparse single ticket offerings and limited resale. ## Join the FaceValue community Helping you save money on Toronto's biggest concerts Subscribe Email sent!

He will be playing at TD Coliseum in Hamilton on Saturday, October 24th, and Scotiabank Arena in Toronto the very next night. Back-to-back, with around 17,500 capacity each. It puts him right at the upper edge of the GTA's known demand ceiling for an EDM act of his size. Whether both shows sell out depends on a few factors worth digging into: his Toronto track record, the leaked SBA pricing, and learning from the path Martin Garrix just carved at RBC Amphitheatre. Let's get into whether the John Summit weekend is a **Buy** or a **Wait**. Here's everything you need to know ahead of presale. **Presale Results Added*: June 7th, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## I write breakdowns for the biggest tour announcements Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

John Summit is generally considered to be **the biggest tech-house DJ on the planet** right now, so the move to arenas makes perfect sense for him. ### His Toronto track record holds up + Beyond being one of the biggest draws at VELD last August, he sold out two nights at Budweiser Stage (now RBC Amphitheatre) back in June 2024\. There hasn't been a recent Toronto show that hasn't been successful for him, which easily makes the case for at least one arena show. The tougher question is whether his demand scales to two. ### Garrix set the GTA EDM ceiling \~ [Martin Garrix](https://facevalueto.ca/martin-garrix-americas-tour-2026/) is the cleanest local comparison on the calendar (similar genre lane, heavy demographic overlap). I gave his RBC Amphitheatre show a Big Buy rating when it was first announced. As expected, that show instantly sold out. He then announced not one, but two more shows, creating a mini-Toronto residency across the May 29-31 weekend. The second date also sold out, but the third date still has tickets readily available in most sections as of now (days before showtime). This gives us a clear demand ceiling for a top-tier EDM act in the GTA market: around 30,000 tickets cleared across two nights, with diminishing returns past that. John Summit is asking for around 35,000 across his two nights. I'd wager he's a bigger draw in the GTA than Garrix is right now, so I'd give him a meaningful boost above Garrix's baseline. But the Garrix data is the clearest signal we have that this market has a ceiling, and the second of these two shows (whichever sells slower) is where that risk sits. [Martin Garrix Toronto: Buy or Wait? | FaceValueMartin Garrix at RBC Amphitheatre on May 29, 2026\. FaceValue says Big Buy β€” here’s why Toronto fans should grab Americas Tour tickets now.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/icon/FV-f6436987f8dca8d2331dad5780e51f8a9a194065406d2d2d81ab437f252dede8.png)FaceValue TorontoDima![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/thumbnail/americas-tour-2026-1-c042ccedd31ab5ec8228992c974b7a77c2e7c4633ae9a99fe41b8e8528b5560a.jpg)](https://facevalueto.ca/martin-garrix-americas-tour-2026/) ### Scotiabank Arena's pricing is looking good + I was able to get some early pricing data that tips Toronto's night towards **Buy** territory. - **100s**: $188 / $245.75 / $287.25 (SBA's average is between $173 - $622) - **300s**: $? / $72 / $111 (SBA's average is between $102 - $218) - **GA Floor**: TBD Assuming no Platinum tomfoolery (which can never be ruled out!), we're looking at prices noticeably under the typical SBA top. When prices land this far below the venue average, the downside risk of buying early shrinks quickly. There's much less room for prices to drop further. We'll have to stay tuned to see how Hamilton's prices land, as well as Toronto's GA. ### Hamilton is the question mark - Just a few weeks ago, I would have confidently called Hamilton a **Wait**, but then I watched [**KATSEYE**](https://facevalueto.ca/katseye-the-wildworld-tour-2026/) sell out TD Coliseum instantly, even at [ridiculous prices](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/katseye-toronto-2026-11-01-2fa14cfb?ref=facevalueto.ca), so now I'm having to recalibrate. The difference for John Summit is that KATSEYE's K-Pop-adjacent fanbase is built to travel and absorb venue friction in a way that EDM crowds generally don't. Faced with the choice between Hamilton on Saturday and Toronto on Sunday, most GTA-based EDM fans will default to Toronto. [KATSEYE Hamilton: Buy or Wait? | FaceValueKATSEYE at TD Coliseum on November 1, 2026\. FaceValue says Buy β€” here’s why Toronto fans should act quick on THE WILDWORLD Tour tickets.![](https://static.ghost.org/v5.0.0/images/link-icon.svg)FaceValue TorontoDima![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/thumbnail/fvverd-katseye-2-f290bb4cbe6362d9b3c7255f124d184110ef7e0624783b65a462aa1dd830af34.png)](https://facevalueto.ca/katseye-the-wildworld-tour-2026/) That being said, Hamilton has the Saturday advantage, and a meaningful chunk of the Hamilton/Burlington/Niagara audience might prefer the local venue. Since we still don't have the pricing for Hamilton, it remains the riskier of the two shows. ### Some quick-fire factors: - **Montreal the day before -** - **Seated EDM shows don't hit the same -** - **VELD was just a year ago -** - **Peak fall concert season +** --- ## The verdict This is a fun one where the verdict changes depending on which night. **Hamilton (Saturday, TD Coliseum)** is leaning towards **Wait**. KATSEYE proved Hamilton is still able to clear, but the combination of the same-weekend SBA show, the Garrix numbers, and the friction Toronto-based fans have around Hamilton points towards this being the one that sells slower. If you enter the presale and see prices cheaper than SBA's, that could shift it towards being a Buy, but for now, the smart play is to wait and see. **Toronto (Sunday, SBA)** is a **Buy**. The demand is established, the venue is right, and the price makes it a no-brainer. ![FaceValue Verdict for John Summit's CTRL ESCAPE Tour in Hamilton & Toronto: Wait/Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/fvverdict-wait-hamilton-buy-toronto-stamp.png) **Want updates for John Summit in Toronto?** The two nights are at different venues and got different calls, so they're tracked separately: [Oct 24 at TD Coliseum](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/john-summit-toronto-2026-10-24-3c4f6589?ref=facevalueto.ca) and [Oct 25 at Scotiabank Arena](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/john-summit-toronto-2026-10-25-3a6591ed?ref=facevalueto.ca).

They've since pulled a crowd of 90,000 at Coachella, dealt with a member hiatus that's still leading the public conversation, and have now announced a 27-date world tour. They're coming back to the GTA at more than double the capacity. The kicker? It won't be in Toronto. They're playing TD Coliseum in Hamilton on Sunday, November 1st, behind their upcoming EP *WILD* (out Aug 14th). Like BTS, they're going the route of paid Weverse memberships in order to get first dibs on tickets. Everything you need to know ahead of presale is right here, including the FaceValue Verdict on whether KATSEYE in Hamilton is a **Buy** or a **Wait**. Put those gnarly pinkies up and let's jump right in. **Presale Results Added*: May 31st, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## I write breakdowns for the biggest tour announcements Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

Here's what you need to know: - To get access to the presale, you will need to purchase an annual **GLOBAL EYEKONS Membership** before 5 PM EST on May 17th - The membership costs 18.17 USD (\~$25 CAD) - You can buy the membership [here](https://shop.weverse.io/en/shop/USD/artists/206/sales/41565?ref=facevalueto.ca) - Once you register your **EYEKONS Membership**, you will see your **EYEKONS Membership** number (KE+9 digit number) - That number will be your presale code. When you enter the presale and make it through the queue on May 20th at 11 AM, that will be the code you enter to unlock ticket access - Only **EYEKONS Membership** holders who signed up before 5 PM on May 17th will be able to buy tickets during the **EYEKONS Membership** presale - If you do not have an EYEKONS Membership, your first chance at tickets will be during the KATSEYE.WORLD presale.

The get-in resale price never dropped below **$544 CAD** across the entire on-sale window and peaked at **$1281 CAD**. Prices held firm multiple times over face value all the way up to showtime. For a group that was, just six months ago, still considered "rising," that floor is the cleanest possible read on their actual demand versus inventory. And they've only gotten bigger since... ![KATSEYE Price History for Toronto in 2025 (ticketdata.com)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/image-9.png) This was one of the hottest tickets of 2025 (prices are shown in USD) ### The Coachella moment was real ++ Their Coachella set this year pulled a crowd of around **90,000,** and they weren't even headlining. The sentiment coming out of the festival was that they're not just the biggest girl group on the planet anymore; they're one of the biggest pop acts, period. Even without Manon performing, that didn't stop KATSEYE from pulling a gargantuan audience. Speaking of... ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/bruh-the-crowd-for-katseye-is-insane-v0-q4tnza1w8hug1.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/bruh-the-crowd-for-katseye-is-insane-v0-kqw0kc1w8hug1.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/bruh-the-crowd-for-katseye-is-insane-v0-yz3mzb1w8hug1.webp) Post on /r/Coachella showcasing the sheer scale of their Weekend 1 crowd ### We need to talk about the Manon Bannerman situation. -- Manon's "temporary hiatus" is what's leading the conversation around this tour, and it hasn't been a good look since the announcement. She isn't on the tour poster, she was briefly removed from the group's official bio, and the messaging between HxG and Manon herself hasn't lined up. Fans are [openly upset](https://www.reddit.com/r/katseye/comments/1rbsw49/260222%5Fmanon%5Fhiatus%5Fmegathread/?ref=facevalueto.ca) across the announcement posts and the various community subreddits, especially since this is a group whose identity has always been built around six members and the "global" concept. Whether this actually slows down sales is the tougher question. K-Pop fan demand is durable enough that the raw numbers will probably hold, especially for a tour this scarce. But it's been a real shadow on the announcement, and it gives anyone on the financial fence a reason to wait the situation out. πŸ“’ Note: I know KATSEYE classifies themselves as a ***global girl group**. I refer to them here in the context of K-Pop due to the similarities in economics. [Here's](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpoppers/comments/1pdnvay/why%5Fkatseye%5Fis%5Fkpop%5Fno%5Fmatter%5Fwhat%5Fsome%5Fpeople%5Fsay/?ref=facevalueto.ca) a neat thread that is loosely related to the topic. ### The venue jump is justified + Going from a 5,000 capacity theatre to TD Coliseum's 11,200 is just over a 2x step up. After what their last sale looked like, doubling the room is, if anything, on the conservative side. Demand at this scale should comfortably absorb it. ### A new EP, *WILD*, drops two months before the show + *WILD* releases on August 14th, which puts the November 1st Hamilton date right in the era's sweet spot. KATSEYE are no strangers to commanding the spotlight with their releases, and I expect them to push those efforts to the extreme with *WILD*. ### K-Pop fan economics give them a structural floor ++ If I've learned anything from the BTS sale, it's that K-Pop fanbases buy tickets differently than typical pop audiences. They organize, they coordinate, and they sign up for every presale option without flinching at fees. The EYEKONS Membership presale at $18.17 USD is standard practice for the genre. To put it in context: BTS used the exact same paid-presale model for their upcoming Rogers Stadium dates and instantly sold out both nights (over 100,000 tickets sold). KATSEYE isn't BTS yet, but the model works for groups operating well below BTS-tier popularity. If you want an idea of the level of cooperation, check out the [Presale and General Sale Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/katseye/comments/1tcou2o/260514%5Fkatseye%5Fthe%5Fwildworld%5Ftour%5Fpresale%5Fand/?ref=facevalueto.ca) that's up on their subreddit. [BTS Toronto: Buy or Wait? | FaceValueBTS at Rogers Stadium on August 22-23, 2026\. FaceValue says Big Buy β€” here’s why Toronto fans should grab BTS β€˜ARIRANG’ World Tour tickets now.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/icon/FV-18.png)FaceValue TorontoDima![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/thumbnail/bts2627tour-1.jpg)](https://facevalueto.ca/bts-world-tour-2026/) ### HAMILTON?! - Oh brother, if you thought getting to Rogers Stadium was a slog, try a 2-hour commute to get from Toronto to TD Coliseum in Hamilton (shoutout to all my Hamilton-based readers, this is your night, ily <3). That's not to say shows in Hamilton can't sell, just that the added travel for the bulk of Toronto could be enough of a deterrent that leaves fans with the thought of "*I'll just wait for the Toronto date.*" The closest comparison we have is the K-pop group aespa, who play TD Coliseum on September 15th and are currently selling **HORRIBLY**. **HORRENDOUSLY** even. aespa isn't a 1:1 comparison (more established, more touring fatigue, weaker English-language crossover than KATSEYE), but it's a real data point for the venue's pull. Simply put, Hamilton is going to be a drag on this sale in a way that (most) Toronto venues wouldn't be. ![aespa's current ticket inventory in Hamilton as of 5/15/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/image-10.png) The most blatant example of the Blue Stripes Pattern I have ever seen. YOWZA!!! ### Concert ticket price fatigue is hitting the mainstream -- With recent [major tour cancellations](https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/article/whats-going-on-with-top-artists-scrapping-shows-some-say-its-blue-dot-fever/?ref=facevalueto.ca), the [Ontario resale ban](https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ontario-ticket-resale-cap-enforcement-crackdown-9.7198412?ref=facevalueto.ca) putting the spotlight on face value prices (Hi!πŸ˜€), and fans generally being exhausted by the onslaught of high-profile tour announcements, it's never been a better time to choose **Wait** for the majority of big concerts. Maybe it's just my algorithm distorting reality, but I've never seen so much sentiment around the absurd pricing of concert tickets. It really feels like people have been pushed to their limits. Many concertgoers have already had their budgets stomped by the existing spring/summer lineup of shows. That being said, that didn't stop [Olivia Rodrigo](https://facevalueto.ca/olivia-rodrigo-the-unraveled-tour-2026/) from instantly selling out an entire arena tour within days. [Olivia Rodrigo Toronto: Buy or Wait? | FaceValueOlivia Rodrigo at Scotiabank Arena on October 26 + 27, 2026\.

KATSEYE is one of the most dominant forces in the music world right now, and I expect them to continue to grow in the months leading up to their show. KATSEYE in Hamilton is a **Buy**. For ticket buyers, the play will be to buy the EYEKONS Membership for your best shot at tickets. The next best option would be the KATSEYE.WORLD presale later in the afternoon. I would treat the General Public/Amex sale as the last clean chance before surrendering to the hope they add another date. ![FaceValue Verdict for Olivia Rodrigo's Unraveled Tour in Toronto: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-buy-stamp.png) Nervous about the impending Ticketmaster War?

What's interesting is what happened before the sell-out. I made it through the queue about 20 minutes into the presale and saw the floor was completely "sold out", with tickets sparsely available in other sections. If I was dead-set on seeing KATSEYE, this is where I would have panicked and bought the best seat I could find, but then, a few minutes later, I saw this. ![KATSEYE Hamilton ticket availability on 5/20 at 11:25am, 25 minutes into the first presale](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/image-17.png) 25 minutes into presale Suddenly there were entire sections of tickets added, as if from thin air. Then just a minute later. ![KATSEYE Hamilton ticket availability on 5/20 at 11:26am](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/image-18.png) 26 minutes into presale Dozens and dozens more seats on the floor and in the 100s. 20 minutes later. ![KATSEYE Hamilton ticket availability on 5/20 at 11:52am](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/image-19.png) 52 minutes into presale Even more tickets added. The presale seemed to be losing its momentum. I checked in later in the day. ![KATSEYE Hamilton ticket availability on 5/20 at 5:26pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/05/image-20.png) 5 hours and 26 minutes into presale The 200s looked to be selling out but most of the floor and 100s still had plenty of availability. This shows a glimpse into how inventory gets manipulated on Ticketmaster. Put yourself in the shows of someone wanting to buy 25 minutes into the presale. You would think that the show was about to fully sell out before you even had a chance to compare tickets. It's a phenomenon I don't see people often talk about, but it's one of the most potent tools in Ticketmaster's arsenal to get you to panic and overspend. Stay vigilant out there!

Two tours, two instant sellouts, and a resale market that has never once let up for her. She had a clear runway for the jump to stadiums but chose to stay in arenas. She's back at Scotiabank Arena on October 26th and 27th behind her upcoming third album, *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in lov*e (out June 12th), with Wolf Alice opening. We're looking at two nights, but the writing is on the wall for more to be added. What makes this one worth breaking down anyway is the noise around it: there's no artist presale (just Amex), Ontario's brand-new resale law is still finding its footing, and the routing pattern is openly inviting added dates. Let's dive in and see whether Olivia Rodrigo in Toronto will be a **Buy** or a **Wait** (you can probably guess). **Presale Results Added*: May 15th, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## I write breakdowns for the biggest tour announcements Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

Good news for possible last minute ticket drops ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since the last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### She's as close to a guaranteed sellout as arenas get +++ Olivia Rodrigo's last two tours instantly sold out and stayed that way. Her March 2024 SBA shows were **borderline impossible** to get into, with resale prices never dropping below $400 CAD (at least triple the price of face value). The "let's see how the demand shakes out" part of the sale is already out of the question. Her demand is real, persistent, and battle-tested for the exact venues she's booking. ### She's underplaying on purpose ++ Her co-manager at the time, Zack Morgenroth, told [Billboard](https://www.billboard.com/business/touring/olivia-rodrigo-guts-tour-behind-the-scenes-cover-story-1235808631/?ref=facevalueto.ca) following the *GUTS* Tour: **"Live Nation said to us that arenas now felt like an underplay β€” we probably could have done stadiums everywhere."* She knew that and did arenas anyway. Booking 14K-cap rooms when you could fill 50K is an artist-led decision to protect the fan experience. But the side effect for ticket buyers is **brutal scarcity**. The Unraveled Tour is following the exact same playbook, and there is absolutely no scenario where two SBA nights satisfies the actual Toronto demand. That is, if it stays at two nights... ### The routing is openly inviting added dates - A quick scan of the tour itinerary will look familiar if you read my [Bruno Mars Presale Breakdown](https://facevalueto.ca/bruno-mars-the-romantic-tour-2026/). Every major market is already locked in for a minimum of 2 nights, with comfortable gaps between cities. London already had 4 nights at the O2, LA has 4 at the Intuit Dome, and Brooklyn has 4\. Toronto has open routing space for up to 3 days before the announced dates and a clear day after Oct 27th before Columbus. Predicting how many dates she adds is tricky, however. In the very next line from that same interview with Billboard, her former manager adds: **"That being said, there was so much preparation for an arena tour: choosing each venue, making sure we had a good cadence for her. We tended to do only four shows in a week and never three shows in a row."* To be fair, Olivia cut ties with Zack [back in 2025](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/olivia-rodrigo-reportedly-cuts-ties-015813796.html?guccounter=1&guce%5Freferrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce%5Freferrer%5Fsig=AQAAAHBlVx9ipHQELt7FavqQvbKBN-WoI%5FYCJh7g5gzzkHKvmx2AlSDsIjoPJNGXxHKaJn0OfosMzd578xYDkP-5DOmbQv1DVaqHdHkCd4nM4CAMpN9WOCj6HwVRK3gvvfaDtdUI4JA4yQGnZMltMm9HucO6grT8d8I8DT-z6xNS-z-s&ref=facevalueto.ca). Maybe her new manager will have no issues pushing her to her limits with uninterrupted multi-night runs... Regardless, even with **four** nights at SBA, **Olivia will still have no issue selling them all out**. It would just lower the panic slightly during the presale. ### A new album dropping four months before showtime + *"you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love"* (a title that's already living rent-free in my head), is out June 12th, which puts the Toronto dates in the sweet spot of an album cycle. It's long enough for the singles to stick and the album to settle into fans' playlists, but close enough that the tour can catch the cycle at peak. *SOUR* and GUTS were both critical and commercial home runs, so the bar is high, but there's nothing in her trajectory suggesting this one could break the pattern. ### Amex only presale?! - This one's curious... There's no artist presale for the Unraveled Tour, just an Amex presale on May 5th, followed straight by the general sale on May 7th. The conversation across her fanbase has rapidly shifted from "how do I get tickets" to "should I get an Amex just for this presale," and the discourse around it has been fascinating to watch. For ticket buyers, the takeaway is dead simple: **if you have an Amex, use it**. If you don't, treat the May 7th GP sale like it's your only chance, because it functionally is (until new dates are added). Fewer entry points mean more pressure on every single one of them, and a general public sale is going to be one of the most chaotic of the year. ### Some quick-fire factors: - **Peak fall concert season +** - **Monday/Tuesday weeknight booking - (won't matter at all for her fanbase, let's be honest)** - **Montreal dates are close by -** - **Wolf Alice is a sick opener with a devoted fanbase +** ### Resale is still running rampant + We're just a week removed from the [new bill in Ontario](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ticketmaster-delist-resale-tickets-ontario-9.7175775?ref=facevalueto.ca) taking effect, banning resale tickets from being priced above face value. While we've started to see the effect on Ticketmaster, tickets on secondary markets like StubHub are still being priced above face value, with **no signs of enforcement** taking place. ![Olivia Dean resale prices on StubHub as of 04/30/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-50.png) Yayyy!!! Unless anything changes in the coming days, it looks like Olivia's sale will be subject to the same scalping that we've already been dealing with in Ontario... It's disappointing because Olivia's team had the ability to disable ticket transfers or enable Face Value Exchange on Ticketmaster, but it doesn't look like either will be the case. --- ## The verdict This is one of the easiest calls I've ever had to make. Olivia Rodrigo in Toronto is the closest thing arenas have to a **guaranteed sellout**. She's intentionally underplaying a market that would have easily sold out Rogers Centre for her. Even with added dates, even with the Amex-only presale chaos, this is a sale where the only real risk is *not getting* tickets at face value. If you want in, the move is to do everything you can to secure tickets during the May 5th Amex presale or the May 7th General Public sale. Trust that resale will be brutal and Doug Ford won't be coming to save you. You may also have a chance with the limited $20 **Silver Star** tickets when those go on sale. She has [confirmed](https://www.reddit.com/r/OliviaRodrigo/comments/1szvkld/silver%5Fstar%5Ftickets%5Fcoming%5Fback/?ref=facevalueto.ca) that she will be running that program again for this tour! ![FaceValue Verdict for Olivia Rodrigo's Unraveled Tour in Toronto: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-buy-stamp.png) Nervous about the impending Ticketmaster War?

The real knife twist was the fact that she actually didn't end up adding even a single Toronto date, and instead opted for turning her Brooklyn, LA, and London shows as mini-residencies with each of those cities getting 9-10 dates in total. All instantly sold out too. ## Join the FaceValue community Helping you save money on Toronto's biggest concerts Subscribe Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. No spam.

She became the first female Latin artist to sell out Levi's Stadium, the Rose Bowl, and a four-night run at the BernabΓ©u in Madrid. The receipts are real. When Karol G books stadiums, she has been able to fill them. ### Four years since her last Toronto show + Her last concert here dates back to September 2022 at Scotiabank Arena. That's plenty of time for demand to refill, especially with how much her trajectory has accelerated since then (MaΓ±ana SerΓ‘ Bonito, the Latin Grammy run, Coachella; hell, I'd even throw starring in [Fortnite](https://www.fortnite.com/news/superstar-karol-g-brings-the-rhythm-to-fortnite-festival-season-5?ref=facevalueto.ca) in here). ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-28.png) ### Oh my god, why Rogers Stadium... -- You already know the deal. I went into this in detail in my [Bruno Mars Presale Breakdown](https://facevalueto.ca/bruno-mars-the-romantic-tour-2026/): the mile-long walk, the sound/sightline gripes, and the general fatigue of seeing the venue's name mentioned anywhere. Last year's slate was a sobering reminder that **capacity is a liability, not an asset**. System of a Down's two September shows looked sold out before thousands of seats dropped, and floor tickets ended up in the single digits. For Karol G, that becomes the golden question. She has the demand, but does Toronto's Latin music audience have the appetite to fill over 50,000 seats at a venue most concertgoers are actively trying to avoid? ![Rogers Stadium looking all miserable and such](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-31.png) Look at this disgusting thing. It doesn't help that (oh man, once you get me started on Rogers Stadium, I can't stop...) many of the already announced shows there are selling poorly: [Guns N' Roses](https://facevalueto.ca/gnr-2026/) and [Chris Stapleton](https://facevalueto.ca/chris-s-all-american-road-show-2026/) have tens of thousands of unsold tickets for their dates, [Post Malone's](https://facevalueto.ca/post-malone-the-big-ass-stadium-tour-part-2-2026/) ticket map remains a sea of blue, and even [Bruno Mars'](https://facevalueto.ca/bruno-mars-the-romantic-tour-2026/) five-night bash has been seeing resale prices drop below face value. Yes, there have been smash hit successes like [BTS](https://facevalueto.ca/bts-world-tour-2026/) and [Noah Kahan](https://facevalueto.ca/noah-kahan-the-great-divide-tour-2026/), but the sell-out rate is far below what you'd want relative to the quality of talent they're booking there. ### Karol G is the first major sale of Ontario's new resale era \~ This one is genuinely a wildcard and might be the most interesting factor on the list. Resellers may or may not be shaking in their boots right now. On Thursday, April 23rd (three days after this tour was announced and four days before the presale), Ontario [passed and enacted a bill](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ticketmaster-delist-resale-tickets-ontario-9.7175775?ref=facevalueto.ca) banning resale above face value. Ticketmaster has already pulled above-face-value resale listings in the province, though StubHub and other third-party platforms are still listing as usual. How this actually plays out in practice is, at this point, anyone's guess. ![Doug Ford standing in front of a giant Ticketmaster logo](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-30.png) Oh god dude, don't turn around. Resellers tend to set the pace of a sale more than people realize. A Ticketmaster queue flooded with 30,000 bots/reseller accounts isn't just annoying; it **signals demand**. It makes a show look more in demand than it really is, and that perceived scarcity pushes regular fans into panic buying. If that flood of resellers gets meaningfully thinned out by the new law, the **entire landscape of the presale changes**. Sales pace slows down, FOMO loses some of its bite, and the show's actual demand has nowhere to hide. The catch is that nobody knows how aggressively this is being enforced or how much of the resale market just shifts to StubHub and other platforms outside Ontario's reach. The Karol G presale is uniquely positioned to be a real-time stress test for the new system, and whatever happens here could **set the tone for every major sale this summer**. If I had to lean, this factor in particular points towards **Wait**. Less reseller pressure should, in theory, create a more transparent read on demand, and a more honest read on demand for a 50K-cap stadium booking is exactly the conversation that has historically resulted in lowered prices closer to showtime. Holy YAP, how about **some quick-fire factors:** - **Only Canadian date with no nearby alternatives +** - **During peak summer +** - **Wednesday night booking -** - **Lead time of only 3 months -** - **There's space for added dates -** There's one more factor I can't stop thinking about looming over this presale: ### Bad Bunny set a worrying precedent -- Despite all the superstardom and accolades, we actually have a clear point of comparison for a Latin artist that tested his Toronto demand following a critically acclaimed Coachella set: **Bad Bunny**. Let's look at the timeline: - He headlined Coachella on April 14th and 21st, 2023 - He announced the tour dates for the Most Wanted Tour on October 19th, 2023 - He performed at Scotiabank Arena (capacity: 16,937) on April 4th, 2024 - All tickets ended up selling out - The tour went on to gross **$314.4 million**, barely edging out Karol G to become the **third-highest-grossing tour from a Latin artist of all time**, with only 43 shows Despite all of this, you may be shocked to find out that his Toronto show actually ended up being a **Wait**. [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/BadBunnyPR/comments/1buxoj8/the%5Fmost%5Fwanted%5Ftour%5Fmegathread%5Ftoronto%5Fon%5F2049/?ref=facevalueto.ca) [threads](https://www.reddit.com/r/BadBunnyPR/comments/1bkjwkz/toronto%5Ftickets/?ref=facevalueto.ca) document fans frustrated by prices collapsing well below presale levels in the days leading up to the show. There were hundreds of dollars to be saved for fans that chose to wait. ![TicketData price history for Bad Bunny in Toronto 04/04/24](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-29.png) This would never happen again... right? Let me frame it this way: if a global-tier Latin superstar couldn't sustain pricing at an *arena*, it's an even tougher sell that Karol G (at a stadium more than three times that size) will. I'll concede that her audience and Bad Bunny's aren't a 1:1 overlap, and her Latin pop catalogue might convert better with Toronto's demographic than his reggaeton-leaning material did. But the past shows us that even shows with all the right cards in play can still end up a **Wait**. It's looking like all eyes will be on the April 27th artist presale to get a read on how aggressively she prices these tickets. If she leans hard into the post-Coachella momentum and prices well above the average, the math on this gets ugly fast. --- ## The verdict The post-Chella glow is real, and her stadium credentials from MaΓ±ana SerΓ‘ Bonito are some of the strongest of any artist on the calendar. But Rogers Stadium has a certain... *je ne sais quoi* for killing momentum, and the Bad Bunny precedent is the closest comp we have for exactly this kind of test. With uncertain times ahead of us in the wake of the new ticket resale bill, the best call for the Karol G Toronto presale is to **Wait**. Expect the presale to feel buzzy and for prices to soften in the summer, especially for the floor seats away from the stage or anything in the North Stands. If you just want to be in the building, this should work in your favour. If you want premium seating, watch how the first wave of ticket sales moves before committing. ![FaceValue Verdict for Karol G in Toronto: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-wait-stamp.png) ## Presale Results **Added*: April 30th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Karol G in Toronto and how they compare to the average prices for each section for all other Rogers Stadium concerts in 2026. - **General Admission**: $600.00 (-9%) - **Floor**: $154.69 – $1319.10 (-21%) - **Side Stands**: $154.69 – $741.00 (+8%) - **North Stands**: $129.69 – $449.10 (+28%) - **VIP**: $841.38 – $2301.90 (+22) Now that the dust has settled following the presale and general sale, this is how ticket inventory is shaping up for **Karol G** in Toronto. ![Karol G Toronto ticket availability on at 12:27PM on 4/13](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-48.png) Ticket availability as of 12:27PM on 4/30/26 Presale in other cities was much buzzier than it was in Toronto. There were reports of Miami having over 300,000 fans in queue. Despite this, tens of thousands of seats still remain for Karol G in Toronto following the general sale. It appears that the furthest floor sections have been disabled to funnel fans towards the pricier tickets. The call still stands that Karol G in Toronto is a **Wait**. ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: July 31st, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Karol G tickets really get? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved. ![FaceValue Verdict for Karol G - Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour in Toronto: Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call I made on April 25th, 2026, before artist presale had started was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in April. 🎟️ ****Karol G β€” Rogers Stadium** Jul 29, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $617.70 ****Floor**: $154.69 – $1,319.10 ****Side Stands**: $154.69 – $741.00 ****North Stands**: $129.69 – $449.10 ****VIP**: $841.38 – $2,301.90 The Karol G ticket situation ended up being a game of chicken with the resellers than went down to the wire! As of just a few days before the show, over 12,000 tickets (25% of the venue's capacity) were still available for purchase on Ticketmaster. It was the ideal scenario for prices to start falling, and just when we thought it wouldn't happen... ![Karol G get-in prices in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-23.png) It did. The dam broke late on July 27th, two days before the concert. From there, the prices started to fall. ![Lowest recorded prices per section for Karol G in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-22.png) The premium tickets (GA and VIP) didn't budge, but everything else did. Floor tickets dropped by 20% on the low end. Side Stands fell by 23%, and North Stands (the cheapest ticket into the show) fell by 36% down to $83. It might not look like the deepest of savings, and I'll admit I expected it to go even lower, but keep in mind the upper ranges of each section's pricing: Side Stands was as high as $741.00\. Floor went up to $1,319.10\. Tickets in the upper ranges fell even harder. There were still around 5,700 tickets still left on Ticketmaster by the time the concert started. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Karol G Toronto** ****Floor**: $31.00 - $800.00 ****Side Stands**: $36.00 - $550.00 ****North Stands**: $47.00 - $275.00 I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.

Announcing an extensive arena tour two days later is the move you make when you feel what's coming. Last October, he played the Phoenix Concert Theatre to a packed room. Just over a year later, he'll be back at Scotiabank Arena with **Dove Cameron** opening and new music on the way. Whether this jump from 1,200 seats to 14,000 is bold confidence or sheer inevitability is exactly what I'm here to work out. Let's dive in and see whether Sombr in Toronto will be a **Buy** or a **Wait**. **Presale Results Added*: April 30th, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## I write presale breakdowns for the biggest shows Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### He's fresh off his Coachella debut + Sombr has already been on the rise, but his Coachella set on Saturday is the kind of gig that can change the trajectory of a career. He brought out Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins for a gorgeous cover of "1979", which earned a spot on [Billboard's best moments of Day 2](https://www.billboard.com/lists/coachella-2026-day-two-best-pinkpantheress-jack-white/sombr-duets-with-billy-corgan/?ref=facevalueto.ca) list. Announcing a massive arena tour just days after playing the biggest festival is the move you make when you feel the gust about to carry you to the sky. One thing is for sure: the timing of his announcement was no accident. ### The buzz is real ++ We're not looking at an artist riding a TikTok moment anymore. Sombr has blown right past 50 million monthly Spotify listeners (58M as of now), and "Back to Friends" is approaching 2 billion streams. There's a difference between an artist who feels popular and one that can actually prove it with hard numbers. The demand pool is clearly there. The question, as always, is how much of it shows up at Scotiabank Arena on a Monday night in November. ### The arena jump deserves *some* skepticism -- Only half a year ago, Sombr played the Phoenix Concert Theatre (capacity: 1200). Sold out. Now he's headlining SBA with over 11 times the capacity. Even artists with longer track records have miscalculated this jump. Sure, the streaming case is strong, but streaming listeners and arena ticket buyers are not the same person. ### Buffalo could split the fans - KeyBank Center seats 13,500, and Sombr plays it just two days before Toronto. Buffalo is a cheaper market than Toronto, **which usually results in lower ticket prices**, even factoring in the conversion rate. This could be enough of a difference maker to convince fans to make the hour-long drive and ease the congestion for the SBA show. ### 'Moment' artists do very well at Scotiabank Arena ++ Artists like [Olivia Dean](https://facevalueto.ca/olivia-dean-the-art-of-loving-live-2026/), Olivia Rodrigo, and Tate McRae have all sold out Scotiabank Arena and immediately buried any doubts that they jumped to arenas prematurely. Sombr is definitely in the camp of hot pop names that will define 2026\. ### Dove Cameron is a big get + For this stretch of the tour, Dove Cameron is on the bill. She's a pop singer with her own dedicated following and has multiple songs with hundreds of millions of streams ("Boyfriend" is nearing a billion on Spotify). Surprisingly, this will be her **first concert in Toronto, ever**. If there are fans on the fence, a stacked double bill could tip them over. Bedroom pop artist Hannah Jadagu rounds out the support. While she's a smaller name, she brings a consistency to this leg that feels right. With Dove Cameron, the full bill matters here more than it typically does. --- ## The verdict For the Sombr Toronto presale, it's leaning towards being a **Buy**. He's been on an arena trajectory for a hot minute, and his Coachella set was confirmation. Sombr is one of the 'moment' artists that will define 2026, and I expect his presale to be especially buzzy. ![FaceValue Verdict for Sombr in Toronto: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fv-verdict-buy-w.png) ## Presale Results **Added*: April 30th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Sombr in Toronto. - **General Admission**: $449.44 - **Floor**: $183.45 – $578.59 - **100s**: $142.20 – $578.59 - **100s Side**: $237.70 (added after sale, sometime before 4/30) - **300s**: $96.43 – $143.79 - **VIP**: $449.44 – $591.22 **Note**: GA Pit tickets were only available at VIP price at $449.44.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### The hottest opener in rock right now ++ Warming up the stage for Jack White on exclusively the Toronto show is the Quebecois experimental rock group **Angine de Poitrine**. If you've yet to have your face melted off and covered up with paper machΓ©, do yourself a favour and check out their recent KEXP performance, which has since become the fastest-growing video the channel has seen. Bow down to your new microtonal overlords. The virality of this performance has led to the announcement of a show at Mod Club (capacity of 600) on July 14th, with two more dates added. All three were instantly sold out, with tickets reselling at over 10 times the original price. ![Angine de Poitrine ticket resale on April 9th, 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-18.png) Zooweemama, that's a steep ticket! **Wait, July 14th?! The same day as their show with Jack White?* That's right. Angine de Poitrine will be performing **TWICE** in Toronto on the very same day. I'm not sure how they'll manage to time the performances, but pulling it off would only be maybe the sixth craziest thing they've accomplished this year (going viral off experimental microtonal guitar music is no small feat, no matter how striking their visual aesthetic is) Seeing that they're still far from meeting their demand in Toronto, this RBC Amphitheatre show with Jack White will be the perfect opportunity to see them for anything less than a gazillion dollars this year. Expect many fans to buy just to see Angine de Poitrine as they continue their hot streak. ### He historically prices his shows fairly + White's not generally known to rip off his fans. Tickets weren't priced outrageously for his last visits, and I expect prices to be even lower with such a massive venue. He's also doing a solid for the kids. Mirroring a similar gesture he made back during his last visit, Jack White will be offering $30 tickets to students, available only at the RBC Amphitheatre box office on July 14\. ### Passionate, dedicated fanbase + Amassing a loyal fanbase from his time with The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather in addition to his solo career, Jack White is one of the most beloved and respected rock stars in the industry. He's well enough into his career where he'll never have to worry about an empty crowd, no matter where he plays. ### It's still RBC Amphitheatre - Selling out 16,000+ seats is no small feat, especially for an artist folks are used to seeing in theatres (or in one of his past bands). Torontonians have been pumping the brakes with recent announcements like [Muse](https://facevalueto.ca/muse-the-wow-signal-tour-2026/) and [Empire of the Sun](https://facevalueto.ca/empire-of-the-sun-ask-that-god-afterlife-tour-2026/), both of which are selling a little worse than anticipated. ### Tickets go on sale fresh after an electric Coachella set + Jack White timed the announcement perfectly. He had just brought the house down with a surprise performance early Saturday afternoon at Coachella. The response has been universally positive, with fans now gearing up to buy his tickets just two days later. --- ## The verdict For the Jack White Toronto presale, it's looking like a **Buy**. Amidst an already stellar summer amphitheatre lineup, Jack White is giving the people what they wanted: more jams, more seats, and more *Angine*. We could be looking at the hottest rock bill of the summer. ![FaceValue Verdict for Jack White in Toronto: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fv-verdict-buy-w.png) ## Presale Results **Added*: April 30th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Jack White in Toronto. - **General Admission Floor**: $167.50 - **200s**: $167.50 – $322.80 - **300s**: $130.50 – $250.80 - **400s**: $96.50 – $165.00 - **Lawn**: $69.00 Now that the dust has settled following the presale and general sale, this is how ticket inventory is shaping up for **Jack White** in Toronto. Here is how the ticket map looked 3 minutes after the Fan Presale had started. ![Jack White Toronto ticket availability at 12:03PM on 4/13](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-40.png) 12:03PM on presale day It didn't take long for most of those tickets to vanish. ![Jack White Toronto ticket availability at 12:08PM on 4/13](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-41.png) 12:08PM ticket availability But then just a few minutes later, at 12:15PM, a bunch more tickets popped up around the 400s. ![Jack White Toronto ticket availability at 12:15PM on 4/13](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-42.png) 12:15PM ticket availability Put yourself in the shoes of the thousands of fans scrambling for tickets during that window. This kind of ticket inventory manipulation is exactly what Ticketmaster does to funnel people towards the overpriced Platinum options. It's exactly why I take these screenshots and it's what I want you to look out for in every amphitheatre/arena/stadium presale going forward. Let's fast forward a couple of hours. ![Jack White Toronto ticket availability at 2:25PM on 4/13](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-43.png) 2:25PM ticket availability More tickets pop up throughout the 400s and 200s. And now let's take it to present day (at least when I'm creating this update): ![Jack White Toronto ticket availability at 11:48AM on 4/30](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-44.png) 04/30 ticket availability All that remains are lawn tickets for $69.00\. This presale was quite the frenzy, and we got to see how ticket inventory evolves in such a short time. If you've held off until now for tickets, lawn at that price is a solid price! The verdict still stands that Jack White in Toronto is a **Buy**. ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: July 18th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did tickets for Jack White in Toronto really get? This is where I breakdown the aftermath of the show to see how the sale played out from start to finish. ![FaceValue Verdict for Jack White Toronto Incorrect](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-INCORRECT-stamp-1.png) The call to **Wait** that I made on April 12th, 2026, before tickets had went on sale was **Incorrect**. Jack White in Toronto ended up being a **Wait**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in April. 🎟️ ****Jack White - RBC Amphitheatre** Jul 18, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA Floor**: $167.50 ****200s**: $167.50 – $322.80 ****300s**: $130.50 – $250.80 ****400s**: $96.50 – $165.00 ****Lawn**: $69.00 Prices ended up being quite affordable for Jack White. Despite inventory looking non-existent by the end of April, there were still deals to be found in most sections. Only around 50 tickets were left by showtime. ![Ticket inventory for Jack White in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-14.png) ![Per-section resale pricing lows for Jack White in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-13.png) Lawn went as low as $54, the 400s as low as $66, 300s as low as $89, and the 200s went as low as $102\. The only section that saw no deals was GA, which stood film at $167.50. I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.

He will be stopping by Toronto at RBC Amphitheatre on September 15, 2026, and will be joined by special guest Jonah Kagen. It wasn't that long ago that Kennedy played a sold-out show to 2,500 fans at History, which saw resale prices climb into the thousands. The question for fans now is: will there be enough demand for Dermot Kennedy to make tickets an instant **Buy**, or will ticket fatigue claim another victim as more concertgoers choose to **Wait**. Let's jump in and take a look at the big picture. **Presale Results Added*: April 9th, 2026* [How did the sale actually play out?](#presale-results) ## I write presale breakdowns for the biggest shows Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

Prices never went under $290CAD resale and even hovered at **an earth-shattering $1,255CAD** for months leading up to that show. If the goal was to boost demand for his larger gigs, then boy did it do the job. ![Dermot Kennedy History resale prices for 2025](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image.png) Remember, these are in USD too.. (ticketdata.com) ### The last amphitheatre show sold poorly -- Dermot Kennedy is playing the same stage he graced back in 2023\. The conditions were prime: mid-June on a Saturday night. Yet, price data shows that resale dropped **as low as $26** for get-in tickets and never went above $83\. That suggests that the demand just isn't there for a sellout. ### There isn't enough interest in Canada - ![Google Trends data for Dermot Kennedy in Canada from 2019 - 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-1.png) Google Trends chart for Dermot Kennedy in Canada Google Trends suggests there aren't many people talking about Kennedy around Canada. It's troubling if he's hoping to sell more seats than he did in 2023\. We can see the bump from the underplay run in 2025 near the end, but it doesn't look like it'll be enough. Well, alright, he's Irish. Let's see if it's a different story overseas. ![Google Trends data for Dermot Kennedy in Ireland from 2019 - 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-2.png) Google Trends chart for Dermot Kennedy in Ireland Uh oh. ### Amphitheatre ticket fatigue -- I'm sitting here looking at [Muse](https://facevalueto.ca/muse-the-wow-signal-tour-2026/) tickets sitting ice cold on the Ticketmaster page following their disastrous presale. We're talking about a band that is universally adored and critically scorned that couldn't pack out the same venue that Dermot Kennedy expects to sell out. ![Muse ticket inventory as of April 1st](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-3.png) Blue stripes = numerous hidden tickets = this is selling worse than it looks Maybe wallets have been fully tapped. Maybe ticket greed has crossed a threshold. Maybe people's entire concert budgets went towards [Pitbull](https://facevalueto.ca/pitbull-im-back-2026/). ![dril tweet about Pitbull Toronto tickets](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-4.png) Would you believe me if I told you that's how much tickets in the 400s were.. --- ## The verdict For the Dermot Kennedy Toronto presale, it's shaping up to be a **Wait**. While the History warmup saw ridiculous prices, the numbers just don't add up for a mid-September amphitheatre sellout. Expect to see discounted tickets in the weeks leading up to the concert. ![FaceValue Verdict for Dermot Kennedy in Toronto: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/fv-verdict---wait-3.png) ## Presale Results **Added*: April 9th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Dermot Kennedy in Toronto. - **General Admission Floor**: $165.50 - **200s**: $127.50 – $299.40 - **300s**: $105.50 – $246.60 - **400s**: $83.50 – $246.60 - **Lawn**: $72.50 Now that the dust has settled following the presale and general sale, this is how ticket inventory is shaping up for **Dermot Kennedy** in Toronto. ![Dermot Kennedy at RBC Amphitheatre Toronto ticket availability as of 3PM on April 9th, 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-17.png) Dermot Kennedy Ticket availability as of 3PM on 4/9/26 It's looking to be selling pretty well! Lawn is still well available, as well as seats across the 200s, 300s, and 400s in varying supply. There are some unusually lengthy uninterrupted rows of resale tickets to be seen. There's also a completely unsold row of seats in the 300s near the middle-left of the photo. This is puzzling to see. Why would that entire row be unsold while we're lead to believe almost every other seat in that section was snatched up? I'm thinking there's a healthy amount of ticket manipulation happening with the Dermot Kennedy sale. The verdict still stands that Dermot Kennedy at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto is a **Wait**.

Her theatre tour looked like a runaway success, with gargantuan queues and instant sellouts. It makes sense that her next move was to scale it up. But instead of building on that momentum, **the hype for *West End Girl* has started to wobble**. Prices for those same theatre shows have been slipping, and now she's jumping from 2,800 to 16,000 seats before those dates have even happened. The question isn't "*can she sell tickets?*" anymore; we already have that answer. It's whether she can sell this many. Let's break down the tour and see whether you should **Buy** tickets for Lily Allen's *West End Girl* tour right away or **Wait** for a better deal. **Presale Results Added*: April 9th, 2026* [How did the sale really go?](#presale-results) ## I write presale breakdowns for the biggest shows Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Massive venue upgrade -- Lily Allen will be jumping from the 2,800-capacity Massey Hall to 16,000 at RBC Amphitheatre. It's a substantial upgrade but not entirely unwarranted given the initial demand for her theatre run. ### Her theatre tour sold out instantly + Back in December, she announced a run of *West End Girl* shows at a number of theatres, including 2 nights at Massey Hall. Both shows instantly sold out, with queue numbers in the **tens of thousands** across all dates. At the time, it was looking like Lily Allen was shaping up to be the next it-girl for pop. Until... ### Resale plummeted for that tour -- Even before the amphitheatre tour was announced, prices across the board were **steadily dropping** for the theatre dates. Some shows were even dropping below face value with weeks to spare. The amphitheatre announcement only amplified the effect. ![Lily Allen resale price history for Toronto (ticketdata.com)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-28.png) Prices have been in freefall for Toronto This is the strongest signal that she's overestimated her demand. It suggests to me that the announcement was rushed out to capitalize on the remaining hype in hopes of mirroring what happened with Hilary Duff – who had announced and subsequently sold out a pair of RBC Amphitheatre dates immediately following her mega-sold out History shows back in January. ### The album-only format isn't resonating - Allen has been leaning on the strength of her latest album to generate demand. *West End Girl* has amassed critical acclaim and propelled her career to new cultural heights, but solely performing newer songs is a tougher sell to the casual audience needed to pack out amphitheatres. You need hits to incentivize casual buyers. *West End Girl* has none. If demand doesn't meet expectations, I could see her announcing an expanded setlist where *West End Girl* only makes up one act of a larger show. ### Buyer fatigue is really setting in -- I've been noticing it more than ever recently, with shows like [Muse](https://facevalueto.ca/muse-the-wow-signal-tour-2026/), [Jungle](https://facevalueto.ca/jungle-sunshine-world-tour-2026/), and [The Pussycat Dolls](https://facevalueto.ca/the-pussycat-dolls-toronto-pcd-forever-tour-2026/), that concertgoers are about at their limit for overpriced tickets. Ticket maps are bluer than ever for shows that have been selling worse than anticipated. Playing in September isn't helping her case either. There's only so much hurt our wallets can take... ### Resellers set the pace + Don't underestimate the power that resellers wield. After an instant sell-out tour with 50k+ queues, scalpers could be watching this run with bated breath. If they choose to bot the sale, that could set the precedent that maybe she is an amphitheatre-sized artist now. --- ## The verdict For the Lily Allen Toronto presale, my best advice would be to **Wait**. Prices for the impending theatre dates have been moving in the opposite direction you would expect them to go following an amphitheatre concert announcement, and that spells bad news for the demand for more *West End Girl* shows. ![FaceValue Verdict for Jungle in Toronto: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/fv-verdict---wait-3.png) ## Presale Results **Added*: April 9th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Lily Allen in Toronto. - **General Admission Floor**: $230.50 - **200s**: $175.50 – $208.00 - **300s**: $138.50 – $175.50 - **400s**: $127.50 – $150.50 - **Lawn**: $72.50 - **VIP**: $496.80 – $712.20 Now that the dust has settled following the presale and general sale, as well as her two shows at Massey Hall, this is how ticket inventory is shaping up for **Lily Allen** in Toronto. ![Lily Allen RBC Amphitheatre Toronto ticket availability as of 3PM on April 9th, 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-16.png) Lily Allen Ticket availability as of 3PM on 4/9/26 Oh my... Whatever the plan was for ticket demand following two sold-out Massey Hall shows, it clearly hasn't panned out. We're starring at over 10,000 tickets still available for Lily Allen at RBC Amphitheatre. There will need to be a major announcement like a massive opening act or an extended set, because it's clear at this point West End Girl won't be enough to sell out 16,000 seats. The verdict still stands that Lily Allen at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto is a **Wait**.

Signal Tour (2026) URL: https://facevalueto.ca/muse-the-wow-signal-tour-2026/ Last updated: 2026-07-30T18:56:14.000Z ![FaceValue Verdict for Muse - The Wow!

Signal*, due out June 26, which they announced by literally [launching a music video into space](https://www.jambase.com/article/muse-new-album-the-wow-signal-be-with-you-single-space?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com), because of course they would. Their subsequent tour announcement tells a different story, though. Instead of arenas again, they're veering back to amphitheatres with a Toronto stop at RBC Amphitheatre. On paper, the scale looks similar. But the reality is that amps change the demand calculus for shows. Don't get it twisted, Muse are a proven major act with hundreds of sold-out arena and stadium shows under their belts. But they're far from their peak, and this tour sits in the dark matter between space: strong fanbase, mixed urgency. You have the hype of a well-timed new era and their live reputation on one side, and a venue downgrade and a crowded summer calendar on the other. Let's break it all down and see whether you should **Buy** Muse tickets the moment they go on sale or **Wait** for a bargain. **Presale Results Added*: April 9th, 2026* **Post-Show Verdict Added*: July 18th, 2026* [Presale Results](#presale-results) ## I write presale breakdowns for the biggest shows Helping you get the best prices on tickets Subscribe Email sent!

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Muse has established arena demand ++ None of their gigs in the past have outright sold *poorly*. They're a safe booking with a dedicated fanbase and substantial casual appeal. We can safely rule out the possibility of another [Empire of the Sun](https://facevalueto.ca/empire-of-the-sun-ask-that-god-afterlife-tour-2026/#presale-results) situation. ### Moving from arenas to amps lowers anticipation - While there isn't much of a change in capacity (Scotiabank Arena seats 13,000 and RBC Amp fits 16,000), there is a noticeable change in quality between arena and amphitheatre shows. Arena shows feel more like premium events, while the lawn and outdoor nature of amp shows give them more of a casual vibe. That vibe shift makes a big impact on fan excitement. There are numerous comments pointing out the implications of an amp show, ranging from limited stage production to the difference in GA pit sizes. ### Last show was a Wait - Their last performance at Scotiabank Arena with [Evanescence](https://facevalueto.ca/evanescence-world-tour-2026/) saw get-in prices drop as low as $50, and Evanescence in 2023 had way more pull than Bloc Party in 2026\. That show also had the benefit of a warm-up run where they played History to 2,500 fans just 5 months prior, which would have only added to the demand for the subsequent arena show. ### Muse's time is running out -- The band has entered the fringe territory where being called a legacy act can rustle more than a few feathers. Accepting they're a legacy band means accepting they're long past their cultural peak. The cold hard truth is they're not going to have the same demand that they did in the 2000s/10s. That reflects in their shift from arenas to amphitheatres. The buzz is still there, but The Wow! Signal will have to pack some serious wow factor to get casual fans through the door. ![Google Trends for Muse in Canada from 2004 to present](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-27.png) They just keep dippin' and dippin' ### Summer is packed with same demographic conflicts - Take a look at some of these concerts in store for Toronto around Muse's July 15th date: - July 14: **The All-American Rejects** - July 15 (same day as Muse): **Poppy** - July 17: **Goldfinger** - July 18: **Billy Talent** - July 19: **Death Cab for Cutie** - July 21: **The Black Crowes & Whiskey Myers** - July 22: **MΓΆtley CrΓΌe** - July 25 + 26: **Tame Impala** - July 26: **311** That's a lot of dough to spread around if you're a Gen-Xer rocker with bills to pay. If you're as genre-adventurous as Muse has been over their careers, your conflicts look even worse with acts like Angine de Poitrine, Chris Lake, Zeds Dead, and Tim McGraw in town that week. ### Quick fire factors: - **Wednesday show, yuck -** - **Very low chance of an added date +** - **Limited nearby dates +** - **Bloc Party's gotta be worth something, right? +** --- ## The verdict For the Muse Toronto presale, this is shaping up to be a **Wait**. The venue selection is key here: capacity is increasing while the quality is decreasing. Expect to see cheap last-minute tickets as the market realizes Muse is far from their heydays. ![FaceValue Verdict for Muse in Toronto: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/fv-verdict---wait-3.png) ## Presale Results **Added*: April 9th, 2026* Here's how prices shaped up for Muse in Toronto. - **General Admission Floor**: $320.50 - **200s**: $263.00 – $726.60 - **300s**: $127.50 – $270.60 - **400s**: $105.50 – $270.60 - **Lawn**: $83.50 - **VIP**: $605.10 – $910.20 Now that the dust has settled following the presale and general sale, this is how ticket inventory is shaping up for **Muse** in Toronto. ![Muse RBC Amphitheatre Toronto ticket availability as of 2PM April 9th, 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-15.png) Ticket availability as of 2PM on 4/9/26 We're still looking at readily available lawn and 400s tickets. Floor tickets took a while to sell at a steep face value price of $320.50\. Now, only $605.10 VIP tickets show as available for floor. I expect floor to return on sale for $320.50 at some point and maybe even drop below that face value price. As for everything else, I'm seeing a lot of blue stripes which suggest to me that numerous rows are disabled. This is done to give off the appearance of a show selling out faster than it really is, creating a sense of urgency to pressure fans to buy. The verdict still stands that Muse at RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto is a **Wait**. ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: July 18th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Muse tickets really get? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved. ![FaceValue Verdict for Muse - The Wow! Signal Tour in Toronto: Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call I made on March 30th, 2026, before artist presale had started was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in March. 🎟️ ****Muse β€” RBC Amphitheatre** Jul 18, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****General Admission Floor**: $320.50 ****200s**: $263.00 – $726.60 ****300s**: $127.50 – $270.60 ****400s**: $105.50 – $270.60 ****Lawn**: $83.50 ****VIP**: $605.10 – $910.20 Well, this one plummeted in price, but not for a reason anyone could have expected. On the morning of July 15th, the day of the concert, a thick haze of wildfire smoke coated Toronto, resulting in the city having the [worst air quality in the world](https://guelph.ctvnews.ca/toronto/weather/article/orange-haze-envelops-toronto-as-wildfire-smoke-expands-across-southern-ontario-live-updates-here/?ref=facevalueto.ca). Environment Canada recommended outdoor events be cancelled, and [some did](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/fifa-watch-parties-cancelled-smoke-poor-air-quality-9.7271161?ref=facevalueto.ca), leading to fans being worried that the outdoor Muse concert would too be cancelled. ![Scenes in Toronto on July 15th, 2026 (Global News)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-20.png) Apocalypse Please? The show ended up going on without a hitch, with a cheeky comment from Bloc Party's singer Kele Okereke: "*we're not going to let a little shitty air quality bring us down, are we?*" Ticketmaster gave fans the option to refund their tickets no-questions-asked by calling their support line. This lead to hundreds of tickets flooding back into inventory, with over 1,500 tickets still available by the time Muse took the stage. This made for a unique situation for resellers, who now had the chance to make away with their failed scalps Scott-free. Here's how the inventory map looked an hour before showtime. ![Muse Toronto ticket availability on 7/15/26 at 6:01pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-19.png) Ticket availability an hour before showtime Despite this, prices still fell under face value across the board. Lawn tickets were offered for $30 during Live Nation's Summer of Live promotion. And if that wasn't cheap enough, I was able to spot Lawn for as low as $18.65 (-78%) on Ticketmaster! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-18.png) Lawn for $18.65 day-of GA Floor saw deals as low as $240 (25% off). ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-17.png) GA Floor for $244.94 day-of Here's a graph showing how ticket availability and get-in prices fluctuated in the weeks leading up to the show. The dotted line represents the initial get-in price of $83.50\. The white line is the cheapest available ticket across Ticketmaster, StubHub, and TickPick. The grey line is the total remaining inventory on Ticketmaster. The green area represents how much cheaper tickets got compared to the original cheapest face value ticket price. ![Muse get-in prices in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-15.png) And here is how low prices got on a per-section basis. ![Lowest recorded prices per section for Muse in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-16.png) Prices across all sections crashed.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Face Value Exchange enabled + This one surprised me to see. Jungle has opted to use Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange (FVE) for their tour. This means that tickets will be non-transferable and will only be able to be resold on Ticketmaster at face value. Usually, FVE is enabled for artists that have previously established massive demand. To give you an idea, here are some artists that have recently used FVE for their tours: - Billie Eilish - Fred again.. - Noah Kahan - Neil Young While they're far from being an underground act, they don't exactly have a history of instant sell-outs like these artists have developed. It's especially puzzling considering some of these other factors. ### NA venue sizing is all over the place -- Check out the end-stage venue capacities for some of the surrounding stops: - Minneapolis's Armory: 8,400 - Chicago's United Center: 13,500 - **Toronto's Scotiabank Arena: 12,979** - Boston's Agganis Arena: 7,200 - Washington's Anthem: 6,000 - Brooklyn's Barclays Center: 19,000 - Nashville's Pinnacle: 4,500 - Houston's 713 Music Hall: 5,000 Just within the first batch of dates, we can already see wildly different venue sizes for Jungle. They're playing a mix of theatres, small arenas, and big arenas. This suggests mixed levels of confidence in their demand and is a major sign that their big arena dates could have trouble selling out – including Scotiabank Arena. ### Rising, but not explosive demand - ![Jungle's Google Trend showing interest over time from 2013 - 2026 in Canada](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-16.png) Ah, my new favourite go-to for measuring demand.. Good ol' Google Trends Jungle has been steadily growing in popularity over the past several years, but there hasn't been anything to suggest their demand can support the jump from the 5,000-capacity RBC Echo Beach to nearly 13,000 seats at Scotiabank Arena. ### Some quick-fire factors: - **The show is on a Saturday +** - **Late summer/early fall buyer fatigue -** - **No room for added dates +** - **Montreal & Vancouver dates spread the Canadian demand -** ### Fully GA floors usually have last-minute drops - This factor goes with just about any section in arena shows, but especially so with GA floors. Because GA doesn't require exact seating assignments, it's a lot easier to quietly inject additional tickets into the system without affecting previously sold inventory. I've seen it happen with numerous arena shows, and I expect the same to be the case for Jungle. I've even seen it happen with Oasis, which had [record-breaking presale demand](https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/ticketmaster-hit-by-billions-of-bots-in-oasis-ticket-sale-and-3-other-things-michael-rapino-said-at-bloombergs-screentime-event/?ref=facevalueto.ca). They also had FVE enabled for the tour, but you were able to easily find GA at or even below face value for both nights in Toronto. --- ## The verdict Here's the bottom line for the Jungle Toronto presale: they don't have the demand to sell out SBA with the same level of fervor as a Noah Kahan or a Billie Eilish. I expect a buzzy presale, maybe even premature calls of a sell-out. But mark my words, you will be able to find tickets at or even below face value closer to showtime. The question for you becomes: would you rather pay the same price for tickets today or in September? Technically, inflation would suggest that your money is worth less in the future. So even at identical prices, the cost is still cheaper to **Wait**. ![FaceValue Verdict for Jungle in Toronto: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/fv-verdict---wait-3.png) ## Presale Results Here's how prices shaped up for Jungle in Toronto. - **General Admission Floor**: $176.00 - **100s**: $92.75 – $349.28 - **300s**: $66.75 – $101.02 Wow. That's a lot less hype than I anticipated. We're now a week removed from the presale and there are over 10,000 tickets still available for Jungle at Scotiabank Arena. The only section that looks to have sold out is the GA Floor. If you held off on those tickets, don't fret, they will almost surely be available at or below the $176.00 face value price by showtime. For everybody else, you can comfortably look forward to a price drop for Jungle in Toronto! ![Jungle Toronto ticket availability as of 04/02/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-5.png) Ticket availability as of 1PM on 4/2/26 You can get an email whenever I find a deal for Jungle in Toronto by opening [the show's page on the FaceValue Concert Tracker](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/jungle-toronto-2026-09-12-feff0d70?ref=facevalueto.ca) and turning on the below face alert, which is the only thing I'll ever email you about for this show. ## Join the FaceValue community Helping you save money on Toronto's biggest concerts Subscribe Email sent!

This one feels... a little more complicated. **The Pussycat Dolls** are returning to Toronto for the first time in nearly two decades, which normally screams demand. But this comeback comes with baggage: a shortchanged lineup, lingering band drama surrounding lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, and a summer schedule already packed with late-2000s nostalgia tours. The group booked a comeback tour back in 2020, when a global pandemic decided to **put the Pussy on Pause**. The band fallout was somehow even more disastrous, with the Cats fighting over tour splits and a legal dispute that would ultimately lead to the tour's cancellation in 2022\. The dispute would later be quietly settled in 2024, paving the way for the tour now on our horizon. The signals are as mixed as the public reactions. Let's dissect the hype and see whether you should **Buy** as soon as tickets go on sale or **Wait** to grab tickets at a discount.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Only three members? And the crowd goes mild.. -- Initial reactions to the announcement have been.. lukewarm, to say the least. Take a look at some of the most liked comments on TikTok: πŸ˜… **"Not interested if Melody Thornton is not part of it"* 😑 **"No Jessica, no carmit, no melody...no tour"* πŸ˜‘ **"unfortunately it's only 3 of the pussycat dolls"* 😭 **"I can't imagine this selling out"* Comment boxes for big tour announcements are usually filled to the brim with ticket anxiety. Instead, the Dolls find themselves in an uphill PR battle to convince fans that 3/6 rounds up. ### 17 years since their last visit ++ That's nearly two decades of pent-up demand. Fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time. That drives up the FOMO factor significantly. ### Late-2000s nostalgia is in + With recent tour announcements from [Pitbull](https://facevalueto.ca/pitbull-im-back-2026/), Ne-Yo & Akon, and Hilary Duff (all of which are also performing at RBC Amphitheatre this summer), we've seen a resurgence in nostalgia for the same era of late-2000s pop that The Pussycat Dolls promise to bring. While we're still months away from those shows, their presales have been super buzzy. All three currently appear to be "sold out," but so did [Conan Gray](https://facevalueto.ca/conan-gray-wishbone-2026/) until pit tickets dropped for a fraction of the price day-of... If the Dolls can ride the same nostalgia wave, they can at least give off the appearance that their presale is selling well. [Conan Gray Toronto: Buy or Wait? | FaceValueConan Gray at Scotiabank Arena on February 23, 2026\. FaceValue says Big Wait β€” here’s why Toronto fans should hold off on Wishbone tour tickets.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/icon/FV-17.png)FaceValue TorontoFaceValue![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/thumbnail/wishbone-1-1-2.png)](https://facevalueto.ca/conan-gray-wishbone-2026/#post-show-verdict) See how the Verdict played out for Conan Gray ### The controversy is not on their side -- Sometimes, being shrouded in controversy can boost sales (you know the saying "no press is bad press"). For The Pussycat Dolls, the controversy just.. **makes you feel bad as a fan**. It's the kind of controversy that leads to having to settle for only seeing three of the six Dolls. This can be attributed to internal band tensions, particularly centered around lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. Instead of fueling excitement for a triumphant return, the narrative around this tour tends to highlight what's missing instead. When fans think about the band, the conversation has been quick to shift from the music to the lineup changes and past disputes. That dynamic weakens the nostalgia advantage that reunion tours typically rely on. For some fans, the comeback still scratches the itch; for others, it could feel more like a partial reunion instead of a full-circle moment. ### Some quick-fire factors: - **The show is on a Friday +** - **In peak summer +** - **Nearby dates spread the demand -** - **They're competing with an already stacked summer lineup -** - **Canada Day weekend thins it out even further -** It's looking pretty close... it all boils down to: **price**. ### Prices for nostalgia acts have been BRUTAL -- The gall of these artists to be charging the prices they're charging.. - [**Sean Paul x Farruko**](https://facevalueto.ca/price-index/#sean-paul-x-farruko%5F2026-08-28): $240.50 for GA pit (30% over the average) - [**Pitbull**](https://facevalueto.ca/price-index/#pitbull%5F2026-09-05): $104.50 for **lawn** (the most expensive single artist's lawn ticket at RBC this year) - [**Hilary Duff**](https://facevalueto.ca/price-index/#hilary-duff%5F2026-08-12): Seats in the 200s going up to $606 - [**Ne-Yo & Akon**](https://facevalueto.ca/price-index/#ne-yo-akon%5F2026-07-31): Seats in the 100s going up to $725.70 Some of these artists are getting absolutely smoked on the market (over **10,000 tickets** still available for Sean Paul as of the time of writing this), while others are raking in the profits. The golden question is: how will The Pussycat Dolls price these tickets? If I fit them along the line paved by their contemporaries (or should I say: *contemporary R&B rarities* \- hit that subscribe button right now), I'd say fans are in for a sticker shock on Wednesday. --- ## The verdict For The Pussycat Dolls Toronto presale, this one leans toward being a **Wait**. If ticket prices land in the same territory we've been seeing from other nostalgia tours, **the risk of overpaying is very real**. The demand may exist, but it doesn't look strong enough to guarantee scarcity, especially with nearby tour stops and a stacked summer calendar. The odds are good that better deals will appear once the initial presale hype settles. ![FaceValue Verdict for The Pussycat Dolls: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/fv-verdict---wait-3.png) --- ## Presale Results Here's how prices shaped up for The Pussycat Dolls in Toronto. - **General Admission Lawn**: $83.95 - **400s**: $117.45 - $150.95 - **300s**: $117.45 - $208.45 - **200s**: $230.95 - $1,041.90 - **100s**: $275.95 - $1,201.20 As soon as presale started, we saw the [infamous blue stripes pattern](https://facevalueto.ca/how-to-win-the-ticketmaster-war/) – clearly indicating that we weren't seeing the full picture of ticket availability. ![Pussycat Dolls ticket map on presale day at 10:06am](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-21.png) 10:06am on presale day And then just 7 minutes later: ![Pussycat Dolls ticket map on presale day at 10:13am](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-22.png) 10:13am You would think you were about to miss your chance to see The Pussycat Dolls, and that your only options would be sparse VIP or overpriced singles.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Thirteen years since their last visit ++ You read that right. If you've been following them for that long, you've *felt* that wait. Empire of the Sun's last Toronto show dates back to September 9, 2013, when they played the Danforth. This will undoubtedly be the biggest factor influencing the sale. This show has a severe exclusivity element to it, especially considering this will be only the fifth time the band has performed in Canada in their careers. ### Resale history looks steep for them + Glancing over on Ticketdata.com, we can see that the get-in prices for their 2025 dates have often stayed in the hundreds, even at some of the comparably sized venues. ![Resale history for Empire of the Sun sourced from ticketdata.com](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-12.png) ### Toronto audience not established -- The other side of them rarely performing in Canada is that it suggests the crowd for them might not exist to the same degree as it does in the U.S. or globally. RBC Amphitheatre is a huge venue, around ten times larger than the Danforth by capacity. Being that this will be their first amphitheatre show here, we don't have any frame of reference for whether they can fill the venue. ### They're far from their peak - ![Google Trends data for Empire of the Sun in Canada](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-13.png) Google Trends data for Empire of the Sun in Canada The Google Trends data shows there isn't as much interest in EOTS nowadays compared to 2013 when they last visited. ### Osheaga stole the spotlight - They don't have the advantage of being the first Canadian EOTS show to be announced, as they popped up on the Osheaga festival poster last month. I could imagine that some superfans have already booked their trip to Montreal. ![Osheaga 2026 lineup poster](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-14.png) How about that lineup, eh? ### The summer is already packed - Empire of the Sun have to compete with a fair amount of shows in the months leading up to the August concert, with fans' wallets already at their limits with the sheer number of concerts announced recently. --- ## The verdict For the Empire of the Sun Toronto presale, my recommendation is to **Wait**. Despite being their first visit in over a decade, we've yet to see evidence that they can pack out venues this big in Canada. Expect the presale to be buzzy, but for prices to ultimately drop before showtime. If you're planning to go, set a price alert below and I'll keep you posted when prices shift.

By showtime, the total count of unsold tickets was around 529\. Discounted tickets were available for almost every section. ![Empire of the Sun Toronto get-in prices in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-22.png) Get-in prices tracked over time. The dotted line is the original lawn price The single cheapest ticket that I was able to see was a $36.44 seat in the second row of the 200s. This is one of the best spots in the house as it's only two rows from the pit while still being elevated above everyone in the pit area.

But there is one box they *do* love putting themselves into: playing Scotiabank Arena in early October every 4 years! Their new album, *The Mountain* mutates their formula once again, introducing Hindustani classical music and worldbeat into their already kaleidoscopic palette. It's been getting a rush of critical praise and is shaping up to be their most celebrated album in over a decade. Unlike 2020's *Song Machine*, fans won't have to wait two years to hear it live. But can that buzz push them into **Buy** territory, or are you better off **Waiting** for a better deal? Let's get into it. ## I write presale breakdowns for the biggest shows Subscribe to be the first to read them Subscribe Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup. No spam.

All three have been at Scotiabank Arena in early October. It's a consistent schedule, but the conditions are much different. Despite a lengthy absence from the city, you almost get the sense that Toronto is used to the wait. ![Gorillaz concert history in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-5.png) Gorillaz 🀝 Leap years 🀝 Blessing Toronto every 4 years ### Only two Canadian dates + A tale as old as the nation itself: the entirety of Canada is funneled into either Toronto or Montreal if they want a chance at seeing Gorillaz without crossing borders. ### The new album is *hot* **and** fresh+ While it's too early for Billboard sales figures, we do know that *The Mountain* is shaping up to be Gorillaz's most critically acclaimed work since 2010's *Plastic Beach*. Fans are heralding it as a return to the inventive, psychedelic sound that defined their early works. It also has the advantage of arriving in such close proximity to the tour. 2020's COVID project *Song Machine, Season One* was no slouch in critical acclaim too, but it took two years following its release for fans to enjoy it live. By that point, it had fallen out of flavor enough to only make up [two songs in the tour setlist](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/gorillaz/2022/scotiabank-arena-toronto-on-canada-13b1d5a9.html?ref=facevalueto.ca). ![Gorillaz critic and user scores from AOTY.org](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-7.png) Critic and user scores aggregated on AOTY.org ### The promo has been stellar + Damon and Co. have been on fire with regards to the promo cycle for *The Mountain*: - They ran an exhibition in LA called *House of Kong* that reignited cultural buzz around the group. - They played a pair of sold-out shows at the Hollywood Palladium, where resale hovered around an eye-watering 400 USD just to get in the door. - They'll be making their SNL debut this weekend, performing just two days before the general sale. They couldn't have timed the tour announcement any better. Well, unless they had a time machine... ### They're still far from their cultural peak -- ![Google Trends for Gorillaz in Canada](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-9.png) Google Trends for Gorillaz in Canada Yes, they're musical and cultural landmarks with global influence, but they're still a long shot away from the relevance they had back in the *Demon Days*. The casual fan to this day is still going to be most energized by the prospect of hearing generational classics *Feel Good Inc.*, *Clint Eastwood*, and *On Melancholy Hill*.Beyond just lacking a radio hit, *The Mountain* is a project that's more meditative and spiritual. It's an album that's more likely to pack out three nights at Massey Hall than one that forces an instant SBA sell-out. ### 2022's show went below face value - It was a surprise to me when I was checking Ticketmaster on show day back in 2022 to see unsold seats and reports of people trying to get rid of their tickets at a loss. So surprising that I still hang onto the memory. To be fair, then-rising star, now-superstar Fred again was performing the same night at History, which potentially whisked away the exact number of fans that would have guaranteed a clean sell-out for Gorillaz. I would know, I was one of them! ### Pricing is looking solid + Something I've noticed when looking back at older threads for the 2022 tour is how shocked fans were by ticket prices. 😑 **"$180 for pit?? Are they out of their mind?" - An approximation of a 2022 Reddit comment I am now too lazy to dig up* How times have changed... $180 for pit sounds like a borderline steal for arena shows by today's standards. The Amex sale for Gorillaz took place today and gave us an early look at ticket pricing. Here's how they compare to the 2026 Scotiabank Arena average: - **Pit**: $194.75 (34% below average) - **100s**: $147.50 - $693.68 (average) - **300s**: $95.50 - $165.60 (7% below average) - **VIP**: $493.64 - $701.72 (25% below average) Not bad! Especially considering how much **concert** you get from a Gorillaz show (if you've seen them before, you know!) Having a fully GA floor drastically brings down the average floor ticket cost compared to seated floors, which often top out in the thousands. With prices this good, it lowers the amount you can potentially save by waiting, making a compelling case for buying early. --- My recommendation is to **Buy**. While I do think there will be some opportunities to score below face value, the affordable pricing and new album buzz make for a compelling case to lock in early. ![FaceValue Verdict for Gorillaz: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/fv-verdict-buy-w.png) ![Gorillaz The Mountain Tour 2026 US & Canada dates poster](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/646017323_18436142482115467_562902229625711803_n.jpg) ## Track Gorillaz prices Every price I capture for this show lands on its [page on the FaceValue Concert Tracker](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/gorillaz-toronto-2026-10-04-95ab1a2c?ref=facevalueto.ca).

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### 2023 Scotiabank show didn't sell out -- Joji's last SBA show was a far cry from a full sellout. Tickets were readily available at or below face value, and any fan that chose to **Wait** could have saved hundreds of dollars. Given that his upcoming tour is nearly identical to his last, we should look at his trajectory since then. ### The Joji Plateau -- Let's look back at how his albums did on the US Billboard 200's: - **Ballads 1**: Debut and peak of 3 - **Nectar**: Debut and peak of 3 - **Smithereens**: Debut and peak of 5 - **Piss in the Wind**: Debut and peak of 5 Suffice to say, the new album hasn't moved Joji up in the ranks. What's more troubling is that this era completely lacks a smash hit to hook casual fans in. *Ballads 1* had "SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK," *Nectar* had "Sanctuary," and *Smithereens* had "Glimpse of Us." The closest thing *Piss in the Wind* has to a hit is the rage-influenced opener "PIXELATED KISSES," a far cry from radio hit material. Past resale history for his 2023 arena tour (which shares nearly identical markets and venues) shows low get-in prices across the board. Without a defining single to re-energize casual fans, this tour cycle looks to be relying on retention over acquisition. Put bluntly: it will be an uphill battle for Joji to sell out Scotiabank Arena. ![Joji price history for his 2023 arena tour](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-3.png) Only one date staying above $100 get-in (data from TicketData.com) ### Space for added shows - Similar to [Bruno Mars](https://facevalueto.ca/bruno-mars-the-romantic-tour-2026/), Joji's schedule suggests a second show could be in the cards. The biggest stops on the American tour all have 2-3 days of padding around them, with 2 before Toronto, 2 after New York, 3 between Atlanta and Austin, and 2 following LA. It's not enough for any city to stretch into three nights, but perfect for slipping in an added night wherever they find a market that has the hots for Joji. ![Joji tour dates for Solaris 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image-2.png) Some interesting tour gaps there... ### Nearest stops in Newark and Montreal + Toronto and Montreal make up the only two Canadian stops for Joji on his upcoming tour. For Canadian fans who aren't crossing the border to see him, these will be the ones to see him. With no Buffalo or Detroit dates, Toronto is it for the Ontario market. Expect some hurting Vancouver fans who were snubbed by the announcement to make the flight over too. ### Supporting acts are niche - Nate Sib and Corbin have both charted paths in their respective underground scenes but are unlikely to be big draws in their own right for Toronto. ### A growing list of shows competing for wallets - This is something that every summer show yet to go on sale will face: people's concert budgets are spent. June already featured concerts from: Don Toliver, ROSALÍA, Megan Moroney, James Blake, bbno$, Kesha, Lorde, MGK, Post Malone, Noah Kahan, and more. Some of those fanbases will crossover with Joji's more than others, but the point stands. It's a privileged spot to be in, as we're lucky to have so many options in this city, but fans will have to make some tough choices here. --- My recommendation is to **Wait**. Joji's career remains at a plateau. His last show didn't sell out, and the summer is already packed with so many shows competing for people's money. Expect to save a solid chunk of cash by waiting for prices to drop. ![FaceValue Verdict for Joji: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/fv-verdict---wait-1.png) ![Solaris World tour dates for Joji](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/image.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: June 25th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Joji tickets really get?

This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in March. 🎟️ ****Joji β€” Scotiabank Arena** Jun 19, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $174.00 ****Floor**: $184.25 – $433.94 ****100s**: $141.75 – $433.94 ****300s**: $67.00 – $153.55 ****VIP**: $406.11 – $652.93 Here's how inventory shook out after a few hours of the Amex presale. ![Joji Toronto ticket availability on 3/3 at 2:20pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-22.png) 4 hours into Amex presale And then the next day during after the Artist presale started. ![Joji Toronto ticket availability on 3/4 at 6:13pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-23.png) 8 hours into Artist presale It was clear from the get-go that Joji at Scotiabank Arena wasn't going to be an instant sellout. Though, Ticketmaster would like you to think it was going to. Here's how it looked one day later. ![Joji Toronto ticket availability on 3/5 at 2:27pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-24.png) 1 day after Artist presale You would think from looking at that map that tickets sales were starting to accelerate. But almost two months later, Live Nation announced their Summer of Live promotion, where they offered $30 all-in tickets to hundreds of shows. Joji in Toronto was part of that list. Take a look at how much more inventory is somehow available months after the last photo. ![Joji Toronto ticket availability on 4/29 at 10:05am](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-25.png) 1 month later, during the Summer of Live promotion. Every dark blue dot is a $30 ticket. Here's a graph showing how ticket availability and get-in prices fluctuated in the weeks leading up to the show. The dotted line represents the get-in price of $67\. The white line is the cheapest available ticket across Ticketmaster, StubHub, and TickPick. The grey line is the total remaining inventory on Ticketmaster. ![Joji get-in prices in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-26.png) Almost 3000 tickets still left 2 weeks before the show And here is how low prices got on a per-section basis. ![Lowest recorded prices per section for Joji in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-27.png) Deep savings were found across all sections except for GA. Here are some screenshots I took the morning of the concert (6/19) at 9:27am.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Face Value Exchange Enabled It's a beautiful thing to see artists opt into consumer-friendly practices like Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange. According to [Noah](https://noahkahan.com/pages/tour?ref=facevalueto.ca), tickets for his shows will only be available to buy or sell at the original face value price. In some cases, I have seen tickets for FVE shows drop below face value. Oasis had enabled this when they visited Rogers Stadium last August, and that show **did** see tickets fall below face value shortly before showtime. So while FVE adds friction to reselling, I would still consider it neutral in terms of affecting the **Buy**/**Wait**. ![Noah Kahan talking about Face Value Exchange](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-10.png) When was the last time you saw an artist so excited about their tour that they put out a press video talking about how fan-friendly they're making it?! ### Tickets will be non-transferrable ++ Another consumer-friendly option enabled by Noah Kahan's team. This will add significantly more friction to reselling than FVE alone. It might still be possible for resellers to skirt around the restriction by using [SecureMyPass](https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2025/10/12/ticket-resale-why-non-transferable-doesnt-work/?ref=facevalueto.ca), so the solution isn't completely bulletproof, but it's a step in the right direction. ### Limited room for added dates + It's a snug squeeze for Toronto having only a few days available before or after the 28th to add another date. Anything's possible. I mean, [Chris Stapleton](https://facevalueto.ca/chris-s-all-american-road-show-2026/) ended up tacking on another night at Rogers Stadium a full month after the first. ![Noah Kahan's tour dates around Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-8.png) Hey Noah, room for one more? ### Nothing remotely close by + The nearest date to Toronto is Pittsburgh, a full six-hour drive away. It's geographically the prime spot for any fans in Ottawa, Montreal, Detroit, Buffalo, or surrounding the GTA. ### Weekend summer night + Nothing brings in casual listeners more than a nice concert on a warm summer night. Sure, Sunday is technically a work night – it's no Saturday, and definitely no Friday. But it's also sure not Monday.. ### Two years of anticipation + It's far from the longest gap in touring, but somehow feels especially long nowadays. It's long enough for ample excitement to build as fans await his return to touring. Looking back at the resale data for his last shows in June/July 2024, his get-in prices climbed into the hundreds. ![Resale for Noah' last shows in 2024 (ticketdata.com)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-9.png) Resale for his last shows in 2024 (ticketdata.com) Stadiums are a sizable step up from arenas and amphitheaters, so I wouldn't expect him to hit these numbers again. ### It's still Rogers Stadium - At the end of the day, it's the last place Toronto wants to see him. There are so many undesirable seats that feel miles away from the performance. These would be the first to breach below face value, along with floor seats all the way in the back. --- There are a lot of smaller factors adding up to make this a **Buy**. It's great to see Noah Kahan putting the fans first by restricting ticket transfer and enabling FVE. Let's just hope that spirit is reflected in his prices. ![FaceValue Verdict for Noah Kahan: Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/fv-verdict-buy-w.png) ![North American tour dates for Noah Kahan ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/626306423_18564413530036037_2510757549619018656_n.jpg) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: June 25th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Noah Kahan tickets really get? This is where I breakdown the aftermath of the show to see how the sale played out from start to finish. ![FaceValue Verdict for Noah Kahan - The Great Divide Tour: Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call to **Buy** that I made on February 5th, 2026, five days before tickets had went on sale was **Correct**. Noah Kahan in Toronto ended up being a **Buy**, with tickets staying completely sold up for the entire time leading up to the show. Here's how face value prices looked when tickets first went on sale in February. 🎟️ ****Noah Kahan β€” Rogers Stadium** Jun 29, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $350.00 - $484.80 ****Floor**: $140.00 - $484.80 ****Side Stands**: $106.19 - $484.80 ****North Stands**: $68.69 - $484.80 Face Value Exchange was enabled. Ticket transfers were disabled. ***Note** *: The upper bound limit for each sections price were marked as Make a Difference tickets.* The day of the concert, there were a few dozen Make a Difference tickets available on the floor for \~$300-500, but tickets did not fall below face value in any section. ![Noah Kahan Toronto sold out ticket map for Rogers Stadium](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-43.png) If you could make it past the 'Sold Out' screen, this is what you were often greeted with. ![Noah Kahan StubHub listings at 1:19pm on 6/28/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-42.png) StubHub listings the day of the concert This show stayed sold out with secondary market prices well above face value for the entire time leading up to the concert.

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DUQaYUvFLYq/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Facebook Announcement](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1HezE5CBVr/) - [/r/PostMalone Reaction Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/PostMalone/comments/1qtveqt/hard%5Fpass/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![Seat map for Post Malone at Rogers Stadium](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-6.png) Fully seated floor and a B Stage for Post Malone ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Jelly Roll isn't sitting well with folks - It's telling that the biggest thread on the /r/PostMalone subreddit surrounding the tour has to do with Jelly Roll's involvement as a supporting act. There are countless scornful negative comments, calling him cringe, a Christian propagandist, inauthentic, and racist. Suffice it to say, Posty could have landed on a more agreeable opener. ![Reddit comment about Jelly Roll](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-2.png) ![Jelly Roll with his Grammy's](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-7.png) ### Back so soon? - The concert comes only a year after his last stadium date here at Rogers Centre. A lot of casual fans will be turned off by the idea of paying hundreds to see an artist they've seen so recently. ![Post Malone concerts in Toronto history](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-4.png) Talk about oversaturation. ### Last show didn't sell well -- It's especially confusing that Post is coming back already, considering his Rogers Centre show didn't even do well enough to justify it. Resale data shows prices collapsed close to showtime, with many fans able to get in for a bargain – and that was at Rogers Centre. He'll have an even tougher time convincing fans to make the trek to the despised Rogers Stadium. ![TicketData price history for Post Malone at Rogers Centre](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-3.png) Free fallin'. ### On a Tuesday - Boo. It's one of the worst days to have a stadium gig. ### Added date potential - There's a four-day gap on either end of the Toronto stop to allow for another night or two to be added. If demand is steep for the first show, more will be added, allowing for even more room for prices to fall. --- My recommendation is to **Wait**. You should be able to find discounted tickets closer to showtime. This is an identical show with identical guests. Expect identical results. ![FaceValue Verdict for ASAP Rocky: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/fv-verdict---wait.png) ![Post Malone Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2 tour poster](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/02/image-5.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: June 25th, 2026* Was the call right?

This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in February. 🎟️ ****Post Malone β€” Rogers Stadium** Jun 16, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****Floor**: $168.13 – $1200.00 ****Side Stands**: 168.13 – $738.00 ****North Stands**: 105.63 – $221.40 ****VIP**: $700.50 – $2583.00 Post Malone jumped the gun a bit with tickets going on sale a few days earlier than the posted Feb 4th date. This gave us an early glimpse at the just how much of the floor was reserved for VIP. ![Post Malone Toronto ticket availability on 2/4 at 3:11pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-32.png) Every yellow dot is VIP Unfortunately for Posty, sales never really took off, with some dates in his tour [ending up cancelled](https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/post-malone-suddenly-cancels-6-37239690?ref=facevalueto.ca) due to poor ticket sales. Fans in Toronto were worried his Rogers Stadium show would end up getting cut to, but the show ended up going on as expected. This is how the ticket map looked 40 minutes before showtime on June 16th. ![Post Malone Toronto ticket availability on 6/16 at 6:21pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-33.png) Nearly 10,000 unsold tickets the day of the concert A complete sea of blue over at Rogers Stadium. Here's a graph showing how ticket availability and get-in prices fluctuated in the weeks leading up to the show. The dotted line represents the initial get-in price of $106\. The white line is the cheapest available ticket across Ticketmaster, StubHub, and TickPick. The grey line is the total remaining inventory on Ticketmaster. The green area represents how much cheaper tickets got compared to the original cheapest face value ticket price. ![Post Malone get-in prices in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-34.png) And here is how low prices got on a per-section basis. ![Lowest recorded prices per section for Post Malone in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-35.png) Prices across all sections crashed in dramatic fashion.

She continues to stay out of the limelight, having only performed a handful of private gigs since her *Anti* tour wrapped up in 2016 (oh, and the Super Bowl). Some fans speculate she could be involved in Rocky's upcoming tour. Personally, I think it's about as likely as something incredibly unlikely to happen. It could still have a small impact on sales, as casual fans could treat the possibility akin to buying a lottery ticket. ![Rihanna](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-36.png) It's been 84 years... ### Prices look steep -- The Amex sale gave us a glimpse into both the prices and early demand for the show. Pit was around $250, the lower bowl around $200-900, and the upper bowl around $100-300\. Much of the lower bowl and pit was allocated to pricey VIP options that remain readily available a day later. We can also see the ["blue stripes"](https://facevalueto.ca/how-to-win-the-ticketmaster-war/) pattern here, with plenty of rows alternating between unsold and unavailable. Overall, with so many Amex tickets still available a day later, it's the strongest suggestion that this show will be a **Wait**. ![ASAP Rocky's ticket availability on Ticketmaster after the Amex presale](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/Screenshot-2026-01-22-at-17.18.33.png) The current state of Amex presale as of 01/22 at 5:00 PM ### Contained to a single date + With [The Guess Who](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/the-guess-who-takin-it-back-toronto-ontario-05-30-2026/event/1000636695B376C8?ref=facevalueto.ca) occupying Scotiabank Arena the day before and Rocky performing in Montreal the day after, we can confidently lock in that Rocky at SBA will be a one-night affair. Unless, of course, he adds a date a full month later like Chris Stapleton did. [Chris Stapleton - All-American Road Show (2026)You know what would hit the spot in Toronto in the wake of escalating tensions with the U.S.?

He’ll be stopping by this August at Rogers Stadium, which is already filling up![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/icon/FV-9.png)FaceValue TorontoDima![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/thumbnail/614066659_1462609712536591_7193572773707104283_n-1.jpg)](https://facevalueto.ca/chris-s-all-american-road-show-2026/) ### New album getting lukewarm buzz - Fans have waited almost eight years for the follow-up to his last album, *Testing*. So far, the reception has been generally positive, but nothing outstanding. An aggregate of critic scores has it sitting around 72/100, with fan sentiment nearly matching that. If the tour ends up selling out, it won't be off the merits of the album itself. ![Don't Be Dumb on AOTY.com](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/Screenshot-2026-01-22-at-17.28.38.png) AOTY.com is a great site for gauging sentiment around a particular album ### Rocky hasn't captured the moment - Zooming out past *Don't Be Dumb*, it feels like Rocky's popularity has been at a plateau. His music hasn't connected with younger audiences to the same degree as someone like Travis Scott or Playboi Carti has so far in the 2020s. Even closer contemporaries like Tyler, the Creator have had more success – stacking up Grammy wins, a streak of critically acclaimed albums, and consistently sold-out tours. I'm sure anybody who's actively **raising a family with Rihanna** doesn't give a single shit about any of that. --- My recommendation is to **Wait**. Tickets look especially pricey, and signs are already pointing to the demand not being able to match them. Be on the lookout for tickets that fall below face value closer to the date. ![FaceValue Verdict for ASAP Rocky: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/fv-verdict---wait.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: June 7th, 2026* Was the call right?

How, despite queues being random, you keep ending up ticketless? That’s because Ticketmaster isn’t random; it’s a skill ladder. Most people think buying tickets is about luck, when luck is only a tiny piece of the game. In reality, **it’s a learnable skill**. It’s a skill that anybody can master with enough practice and determination. I’ve put together the definitive guide on mastering Ticketmaster to help you get the tickets for the concerts you want the most. This is a guide on how to use the platform to its fullest advantage by teaching you: - How Ticketmaster works - The technical tricks that give you an edge - The prep work and oversights people commonly make - The psychology of the sale - The most gatekept secrets - What scalpers pray you never learn ![Iceberg showing 6 levels of Ticketmaster Mastery](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/ticketmaster-iceberg.png) The Ticketmaster Mastery iceberg ### The iceberg format The guide has been structured in the form of an iceberg. You might have seen this format used before in [memes](https://i.imgur.com/yofZYlY.png?ref=facevalueto.ca) or [videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bptr7UvrCbQ&ref=facevalueto.ca). They’re used as a visual metaphor to rank topics from common knowledge (the surface) down to increasingly niche or obscure details (the depths). In the context of Ticketmaster, each level of the iceberg shows different degrees of understanding. At the surface are the basics that everyone knows (and still loses with). As you descend, you learn more and more tactics and behaviors that give buyers an advantage. The further down you go, the stronger your chances of **winning the war**. ### To be definitive means to include the basics Yes, some of these earlier tips are going to feel *painfully* obvious. But remember, this is a numbers game. In every presale, there will be people losing the battle at **every level of the iceberg**. Each bit of advice you can absorb puts you ahead of more and more people. The key to winning is arming yourself with the preparation and knowledge to beat out not only your fellow queue combatants but Ticketmaster itself. I made this guide as resource-rich as possible to help you get tickets. I'm not simplifying it for clicks or convenience because **the reality of ticket buying is *messy***. Understanding that mess is the first major advantage. That also means it'll be a lot of information at once. If you get to a point where you think, *"I don't want to think this hard about concert tickets,"* that's probably your exit point. Use this as a reference for when you feel like you've been losing out on tickets more than you'd like. Last thing: the rules of war constantly evolve. If these tips change, or if I learn anything new, I’ll update this document accordingly. If you have any of your own tips, feel free to leave a comment or reach me on Instagram [@facevalueto](https://www.instagram.com/facevalueto/?ref=facevalueto.ca), and I can update. Now, let's bundle up and jump into the first level of the iceberg. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/lvl1-n-2.png) ## Level 1 ****The Easiest Things** ***People Still Miss** ### Create your account ahead of time Your account needs to be made and ready to go well before the onsale. If you don't already have an account and wait until the last minute, you're setting yourself up for failure, as you're bound to hit a snag somewhere in the process. You would also be unable to participate in most artist presales, as they require you to register at least a day before the sale. Make your account by visiting [ticketmaster.com](http://ticketmaster.com/?ref=facevalueto.ca) or by downloading the app and registering. ![Ticketmaster welcome screen](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-22.png) Yep, you're already ahead of a bunch of people just by doing this.. ### Set up your account properly Register using an email and phone number that you have access to. Your Ticketmaster account is tied to your phone number, and you will need to have quick access to it during presales. Some queues require you to confirm your account by sending a code to your phone. Make sure your email and phone number are both verified and that you're in the correct country/region. Log out and log back in to ensure your credentials work. ### Keep your info up to date Recently moved? Changed phone numbers? Switched credit cards? Check to see that everything is up to date on your account. ### Set up your payment information There will be more advanced tips further down the iceberg, but for now, let's keep it simple: pre-save your credit card or other payment method. I wouldn't recommend PayPal here, as that will take more clicks to process. Every click and every second counts for some sales. Check that your billing address matches your card so that Ticketmaster doesn't throw you an error. ### Memorize your CVV If there's one piece of information you'll probably have to type out in the panic of a ticket purchase, it's your credit card's CVV. Even some autofills won’t populate this field, and you’ll have to manually type it out each time. Make sure you know this number like the back of your hand. Better yet, have the physical card next to you before you checkout and reserve the mental bandwidth for answering the *real* questions, like whether you *really* want to spend $850 on that VIP add-on... ### Sign up for the earliest possible presale As soon as you hear about the tour, look for a sign-up link to the presale. Generally, the artist will tell fans where to find it in the tour announcement post (e.g., β€œSign up link in my bio”). Follow the instructions to sign up, and note down when the presale will take place. Once you get the presale code, copy it to your phone/computer right before the sale so you can quickly paste it in when prompted. ![Ticketmaster modern presale sign up layout](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-21.png) Been seeing more in this presale signups in this style lately ### Log into your account It seems obvious, but Ticketmaster will randomly force you to re-login all the time. The last thing you want is for 10 AM to hit, you try to cart the perfect tickets, and you lose them because it decided you're now a stranger. C'mon Ticketmaster, after all we've been through? ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/lvl2-n-1.png) ## Level 2 ****What** ***Regular People** **Learn the Hard Way** ### Have your information saved to Autofill The last thing you want after carting tickets is to be stuck manually entering fields on the checkout page. Thankfully, in today’s Ticketmaster, there aren’t many fields to enter on the checkout page, but you could find yourself in a situation where you’ll wish you had it. The autofill feature allows you to pre-enter commonly used information like your address, phone number, email, and credit card details, and have it automatically entered when your device thinks it’s on a page where that information is being requested. #### Setting up Autofill Autofill information is saved to either your Google or Apple account. [Google](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142893?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&ref=facevalueto.ca): Open Chrome and go to ****Settings > Password and Autofill**. [Apple](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/iphone/iphccfb450b7/ios?ref=facevalueto.ca): Go to ****Safari > Settings > AutoFill**. It’s up to you which information you want saved to autofill. I would recommend at least your credit card or primary payment method, as that’s typically the hardest to memorize. To use autofill, you just select the field, and you should either see it automatically fill or show a pop-up suggesting autofill. I would recommend practicing ****before** a stressful presale to make sure it works as expected. If you already have autofill set up, this would be a good time to review yours and clean out any old addresses, expired cards, or any other outdated information. ### Find as many presale codes as possible When a tour gets announced, you’ll often have multiple presales. The artist presale is the most common one. This is the one where you usually go to the artist’s website or a seated.link URL, type in your information, and sign up to be informed before the sale starts. In this case, the artist will send you a text or email containing your presale code. Sometimes there will be venue or platform-specific ones like Live Nation, Spotify, or Rogers Stadium presale. These will often use generic codes that work for multiple concerts. Since there can be so many different presale types, a good rule of thumb would be to Google each one and see if you can find a recent post mentioning what the code is. Check the event page to see which presales the concert will have. If you’re going into a presale that has two or more of these in play, you will want to write them down in your Notes app so you can quickly copy and paste them as needed. Note that refreshing will make you re-enter any of the codes you used. ### Set an alarm for 20 minutes before the presale Around 15-30 minutes before a presale, a waiting room will open up on Ticketmaster. This is where you can chill before the sale starts. You’ll want to join the waiting room or (if there isn’t one) be ready for the sale at least 15 minutes before it starts. This gives you time to get your bearings straight, lock in with friends, and mentally prepare. To avoid being the person who overslept the presale and missed out on tickets, set the alarm as soon as you know when the presale is going to be. If it’s at 10:00 AM, open your clock app and make an alarm for 9:40 AM and name it after the artist. ![Alarms set for BTS](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-25.png) **"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."* \- Benjamin Franklin ### Have a reliable internet connection Losing connection, even for a moment, could be the difference between getting the tickets and facing a Sold Out screen. Whichever connection type is most reliable for you – whether it be Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, or going to a cafΓ© – make sure you’re set up with the best internet connection possible ahead of the presale. ### Your queue spot is random\* A common misconception is that it matters when you join the waiting room: this is false. Your odds of getting a good queue position don’t change if you enter 2 hours before the sale or 2 seconds before. As long as you are in the waiting room before the sale begins, you will have the same chances of getting in faster. Everyone who joins the waiting room gets shuffled and assigned a random number. Well, it's not actually random, but we'll get to that further down the iceberg. ### Don't refresh in the waiting room It doesn't move you closer in line, and it can flag your account as a bot if you do it too much. ![<1 Minute waiting room screen](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-35.png) Hooooold... hoold... ### Stop being baited by speculative resale Whenever a major concert is announced, without fail, you will always have people freaking out about tickets β€œalready on sale” then sharing a screenshot of StubHub. Some will take the bait and go buy these tickets; some will treat the listed prices as official. The whole thing always ends up a mess. Here’s what to know: those aren’t β€œreal” tickets; they’re speculative tickets where the buyer is betting that they can get you those tickets when they actually go on sale. They will **always** be a bad deal because nobody is going to sell them for anything less than profitable for them. Ignore these and wait for the official sale to start. Check the event page for the on-sale dates. ![Pitbull spec tickets](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-26-1.png) This concert hasn't even gone on sale yet. These are all spec tickets ### Close background apps to maximize device performance You don’t want to deal with performance issues in the middle of a stressful presale. Whether you’re on a computer or mobile, close any unnecessary tabs, apps, or programs so you can give your undivided attention to the presale. Closing them will boost your device’s performance and make it smoother for you. ### Some presale codes are account-locked Not all codes are created equal. Sometimes an artist presale code will be generic (one code that anyone can use). Sometimes they’ll be unique and account-specific (only you can use it). Sometimes they’ll be unique but not account-specific. In these cases, it’s good to coordinate with friends who also sign up so you can share codes with one another. Ticket sales can get buggy, and your code could stop working for whatever reason, so you can use a friend’s in those cases to get you back in. ### Make sure you have the funds Ensure you have the money on your payment method ahead of time. This can be tricky, especially if you don’t know prices ahead of time or you’re buying multiple tickets at once. As a rule of thumb, I like to have at least double the worst-case scenario cost loaded up. ### Have your phone by you Ticketmaster can make you re-verify at every step of the ticket-buying process. It can happen when you register for presale, when you join or rejoin the waiting room, and even when you're checking out. I wouldn't be surprised if they send me a 6-digit code to check if I'm breathing. You'll also sometimes have artists send you presale info through SMS. Some could be delayed and sent after the presale has already started. It's best to keep your phone within view so you can see these notifications as they come up. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/lvl3-n.png) ## Level 3 ****Where** ***Preparation** **Starts Beating Luck** ### Zoom out and look at the big picture for the sale There is a wealth of knowledge to gain from researching a tour. Knowing the venue capacity, how big it is compared to their last time in the city, how long it's been since then, how much their popularity and demand have changed since then, and how likely added dates are – this is just scratching the surface of what you can learn. The point is, knowing these factors will help you make better decisions when buying tickets. If an artist is playing a venue that's way too big for them, wait for prices to drop. If they have a bunch of gaps in their scheduling between cities, take it as a sign that more dates are coming and to wait until after the presale. This is the premise behind my [Presale Breakdown](https://facevalueto.ca/gnr-2026/) posts. Read a couple of those to develop a sense of how to do the research.

I just woke up from a dream... 🎢 And just like that, we’re starting off 2026 with a bang, with two major Rogers Stadium announcements: Bruno Mars and Chris Stapleton.

I’ll use this space to succinctly explain each one: - **Standard Ticket**: your baseline, typical blue dot ticket. These can still be misleading; they can be partially obstructed, have limited legroom, or have any number of additional details. Check the ticket description to know what you’re getting - **Standard Ticket - Wheelchair Accessible**: Standard tickets that are reserved for those with accessibility needs - **Artist Presale**: tickets that become visible after entering an artist presale code, usually the same price as Standard - **Other Presale Tickets**: will be named after whichever presale you’re entering (Ticketmaster, Spotify, etc.) - **Official Platinum**: the most common dynamically priced ticket you’ll see, priced for people who don’t care about cost - **Verified Resale Ticket**: pink dots. Tickets that are listed and priced by someone else using Ticketmaster. These can go under face value in very limited circumstances (has to be enabled by Ticketmaster). Usually, the seller is prevented from pricing their tickets below face value - **Front Of The Line Amex Reserved Ticket**: anybody can add these to their cart. You just need to pay using an Amex card in order to checkout with them - **VIP**: concert-specific VIP packages marked with a yellow dot and a star in it. Usually the most expensive ticket options. You can see what each VIP package comes with by clicking the β€˜i’ icon. Sometimes, VIP tickets are found in a separate event listing - **Limited View/Obstructed View**: you won’t have a complete view of the performance. These are usually priced lower to reflect the lower quality - **Aisle Seating**: tickets that are priced at a premium because they are immediately next to an aisle. Most concerts won’t have this - **Preferred Seating**: a completely meaningless indicator. Normal seats that were given a fancy name to make you pay more ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/data-src-image-49e30053-b83f-4f74-a2cb-7a8a27b278ee-1.png) What is **β€œPreferred”* about a seat in one of the furthest rows at RBC Amphitheatre? It’s not even an aisle seat! There are tickets closer to the stage and closer to the aisle that are cheaper here. ### Price changes happen silently Prices can feel especially muddy nowadays. In waiting rooms for big shows, you’ll sometimes see a Ticketmaster notice displaying a price range, and then you get in and the low-end tickets are nowhere to be seen, while the high-end tickets are even more expensive than advertised. The ambiguity of prices works in Ticketmaster’s favour to get you to spend more. Price manipulation happens discreetly with Standard Tickets. Close to showtime, you’ll find the prices of these tickets could drop, even multiple times. A telltale sign that Standard Ticket prices are being changed is when they end with random cent values, like $442.27. ![Iron Maiden ridiculous ticket price](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-27-1.png) Being in ALL CAPS doesn't make it a better deal. ### Treat the first presale like it's your only chance I often see people say, *β€œDon’t worry, there will be more in the general sale,”* only to be disappointed when there’s nothing left. It’s never been made clear how many tickets are reserved for different sales. The first artist presale will basically have the entire available inventory and should be treated as your best chance. ![Redditor misconception about presale](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/FALSE.png) ### Have multiple payment methods ready to go As a fail-safe, it’s good practice to have different payment methods set up with funds added. However many you add, make sure each is saved to your autofill. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/paymentmethod-1.png) Under My Profile > Billing Information ### Ticketmaster prioritizes mobile sales Since scalping bots don’t work on mobile, your chances of getting tickets are higher on mobile. A computer does have the performance advantage of being quicker to browse tickets and checkout. Since Ticketmaster can recognize the device you’re on, it’s in your best interest to choose accordingly. ### Make sure your main payment method doesn’t require additional confirmation I’ve lost multiple tickets by trying to pay with a card that forced me to enter a 6-digit code from my phone. Every second matters, and waiting for a code and punching it in is 10 to 30 seconds that can easily be saved by using a different card or payment method. ### Have a plan for which sections you'll target Your window of opportunity when getting through the queue could be small. You’ll need to plan ahead and be able to execute quickly with intention. To do this, open the Ticketmaster page for a different concert at the same venue, preferably one with plenty of tickets still available, and put together a small list of the areas you want to buy tickets for. Get a general sense of the relative cost difference between those areas and then rank them in order of priority. If you’re having other people help you, share that priority list with them. If tickets aren’t available for your #1 choice, be ready to accept #2 and so on. Use [aviewfrommyseat.com](http://aviewfrommyseat.com/?ref=facevalueto.ca) to get a sense of what different sections look like. ### Set a budget You want to have a reasonable budget for how much you expect to pay for tickets. It’s up to you how flexible you want to be (e.g., your budget is $250 but the ticket you want is $255). Try to avoid FOMOing into tickets if they’re outside of your budget. Before you buy, ask yourself: will this be the cheapest a ticket like this will go for, from now all the way until showtime? ### Your psychological mindset defines your decisions If you’re high-strung and thinking that you won’t survive if you can’t get tickets during presale, that’s going to reflect in your ticket purchasing decisions. You’ll be prone to buying overpriced Platinum tickets and paying double or more than you were anticipating. You don’t want to be left feeling ashamed when you see the next batch of tickets pop up. Be wary of the sunk-cost fallacy or the β€œjust get anything” mindset. Remember that artists will come back, especially when the demand is there for them. Try to put yourself in a more relaxed, focused mental state before presale. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/lvl4-n.png) ## Level 4 ****Why Some Fans** ***Always** **Win** ### Don't lose hope too early This is a tip that will immediately put you ahead of thousands in the queue, even those who got in before you. Many will see zero blue dots, give up, and close the page. People’s carts could run out, forcing tickets back in stock. Ticketmaster could drip-release inventory, adding new rows. They will manipulate inventory to force people to make decisions, but that will no longer work on you. You will exercise patience and learn to beat the FOMO. Keep the page open and watch. Sometimes the countdown ends, and you refresh only to see *"The Next Sale Will Begin on..."* Refresh (sparingly). Tickets could be added shortly after the timer ends. ### Coordinate with friends and family to increase your chances You want to assemble a super team of friends or family. Each person who knows how to play the queue is a flat multiplier on your chances of getting the tickets you want. As a bare minimum, make sure each person has their Ticketmaster account set up and is registered for the presale (Level 1). Coordinate by sharing exactly what your priority order, budget, and target number of tickets are. Jump on a call together for the fastest communication. This will hinge on your communication skills with your group, and you will get better at it with more practice. ### In tense sales, pick the second-best choice Have you ever been in this situation: you make it through the queue and see blue dots rapidly vanishing? You hone in on the best tickets left and try carting them. You’re greeted with a β€œThese tickets are no longer available” pop-up, then panic to add the next best tickets. The same thing happens. In those cases, if there are multiple options, just pick the second-best one. ![Example of best ticket choices ranked](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/data-src-image-9e0dc746-4a04-4924-9706-32c1c9ab8836-1.png) Assuming tickets are flying and you want to lock in quick, don’t try for that pair on the right close to the stage. Try for option #2, or better yet, option #3 before someone else gets the same idea. ### You can add tickets to your cart and still return to the tickets page Here’s a hot tip that some won’t want me to share: on your computer, you can add tickets to your cart, Ctrl + Click the back button when on the checkout page, and continue to browse tickets while keeping the other ones in your cart. This lets you shop for different sets of tickets at the same time, checking out only the ones you need. As far as I know, there isn’t really a limit on how many times you can do this, so take advantage of it to lower the urgency of a sale. There isn’t currently a method to do this on mobile. ![Ticketmaster carting trick](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-29.png) Tickets carted in one tab, still browsing in another ### Know how to game multiple-night runs One of the most powerful tools in Ticketmaster’s FOMO arsenal is the prospect of added dates. Artists will always have each date for a venue booked out in advance, so when two shows go on sale and then three more nights are added over the next few days, know that was the plan all along (looking at you, Bruno). If you can determine when there’s a high chance of added dates, you can walk into the first presale calm and with the plan of seeing which seats you want and how much they cost. If they sell out before you get them, you can rest a little easier with the confidence that there will be more dates. A good way to tell whether there will be more dates is to look at the full tour dates for the artist. See if there’s space in their schedule for shows to be added. Pay attention to major stops like New York, LA, Chicago, Toronto, and London. Those will be the cities most likely to add dates. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-30-1.png) Bruno's initial tour dates Here's how Bruno Mars' dates looked upon announcement. Notice the gaps between each city. Notice how each leg of the tour starts and ends with a major city. There is a month between Toronto and Paris, and between London and New Jersey (NYC's market). The new dates were already set in stone well in advance. I called this in my [Presale Breakdown](https://facevalueto.ca/bruno-mars-the-romantic-tour-2026/) before a single show was added. ![Bruno Mars tour dates after all shows were added](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-31.png) And after all the dates were added. ### Befriend those with fan club access Some artists will have a paid fan club membership with ticket access before everyone else. I’ve seen it with BTS, Avenged Sevenfold, and Linkin Park, though I’m sure there are more. If you can afford to buy the membership, you’ll guarantee the best chances at tickets. If not, you could try to make friends with someone who does and have them get tickets for you. Just be sure to buy them a drink if you go to the show with them! ### If there's no waiting room, refresh right on time For shows that don't use a waiting room and just have the countdown timer, you will want to refresh or reopen the ticket page as soon as the timer hits zero, maybe even a second or two before to account for loading times. These shows are slower to auto-refresh (in many cases, Ticketmaster won't auto-refresh it at all), so you'll want to be ahead of it. ### Refresh sparingly and don't spam click tickets Ticketmaster's bot detection has been getting more cutthroat lately. They will softban your account (lock you out of buying tickets) if you refresh too many times or try adding the same tickets to your cart over and over. You’ll want to avoid refreshing unless absolutely necessary. If you get an error after trying to cart tickets more than once, you’re better off treating those tickets as unavailable. ### Learn the ways to β€œsoft” refresh Instead of hard refreshing, there are a number of tricks you can use to force Ticketmaster to refresh tickets without raising flags for their bot detection. ![Ticketmaster price slider](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/data-src-image-9544b79a-f33c-48f3-98e9-f260e7873c59.png) Dragging the price slider ![Ticketmaster quantity dropdown](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-14.png) Toggling between different ticket quantities ![Ticket filtering options](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-16-1.png) Opening Filters and changing which Ticket Types are visible ![Ticketmaster List/Map toggle](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-17-1.png) Switching between Map and List view ![Lowest Price/Best Seats switch](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-18.png) Switching between Lowest Price and Best Seats ![Unlock button](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-19.png) Entering Unlock codes ### Map and List views can be deceiving You’ll often see a mismatch between tickets across the two views. Some will show on the map but not in the list, and vice versa. Try to use both views when picking tickets. If they’re only showing in one, that could be a sign that they won’t last long. ### Click the grey box Tickets in GA areas (Floor, Lawn, etc.) won’t show up as blue dots but rather as a blue box indicating the space. When it turns grey, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s sold out. Click on the section and see if a pop-up appears allowing you to add them to your cart. I would say a good 30% of the GA tickets I’ve gotten so far were carted like this. Many will see grey and assume it’s sold out, but not you anymore. ![Ticketmaster "No Seats Available"](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/data-src-image-4d2d5d81-41fd-4bbe-9f23-1afe09790864-1.png) Yes, even times when you hover over and it says **β€œNo Seats Available.”* ### Go to the box office Sometimes, the best way to beat the system is to try it the old-fashioned way. I’ve heard success stories of fans lining up for hours at the box office on show day and walking in with amazing tickets for face value. You won’t get much information on what’s available until you wait in line, so there is the risk of wasting hours, but just know that the box office does work. Plus, you might get a hard copy ticket as a souvenir! ### Be ready to only get 1 ticket If you’re working to get tickets with friends and carting 2+ isn’t working, but 1 is, just take the single. Not only will it allow your group to focus their efforts on securing fewer tickets, but since many others will be shopping for pairs, it’ll be easier to find single tickets after the sale. If you’re looking to get multiple seats in a row but end up with a bunch of scattered singles, you could sell them and use the funds to buy a consecutive group. ### Be ready to walk away entirely It can be the hardest pill to swallow in a tense presale. You could walk in with a plan and see every seat you wanted out of stock. When that happens, sometimes the best course of action is to just let it be. Sticking to your guns will benefit you in the long run as you develop a tolerance for patience. The Ticketmaster War is a brutal one that preys on your emotions and wants you to overspend. Don’t let it beat you. You have time before concert day, and you will find a way to make it work. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/lvl5-n.png) ## Level 5 ****What Scalpers** ***Pray** **You Never Learn** ### Calm down. Ticketmaster and scalpers prey on your heightened emotions to make the biggest buck. That’s why resale prices will always be at their highest before presale (when nobody has had access to tickets) or immediately after. As an exercise, open the StubHub page for a major show during its presale (try for a show you have zero emotional stakes in). Look at the prices before the sale starts, then refresh every 5 minutes during the presale. Once the show starts looking sold out and that uneasy feeling of FOMO starts kicking in, check StubHub again. Then check again every 10 minutes, then a few hours, and a few days after. You’ll see the same pattern time and time again as the resale price stabilizes. ### Sellers panic too. You can destroy them at their own resale game Added dates are especially a reseller's nightmare. Overnight, the supply for a concert can double or triple, forcing them to panic and sell at face value to safeguard against a loss. Ever wonder why so many people online seem to end up with β€œextra” tickets when that happens? If you can stay a step ahead of scalpers by having a better pulse on an artist's pull, you can win the Ticketmaster War without ever stepping foot on the ticket page. Scope out platforms like StubHub or TickPick for tickets that fall under face value, especially as the concert day gets closer. You can track how well a show is selling using [ticketdata.com](http://ticketdata.com/?ref=facevalueto.ca). I’ve also had luck by setting up [Distill](https://distill.io/?ref=facevalueto.ca) to send me alerts when tickets fall under a specified threshold. ![Ticketdata.com screenshot of FKA Twigs tickets](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-32.png) Watching FKA Twigs tickets drop on TicketData ### Get an Amex card Amex cards give you access to Front Of The Line presale tickets, often before any other presale takes place. I’m surprised to still see this misconception, but you don’t need a Gold or Platinum Amex card to access the benefit. You can use any Amex card, including the no annual fee Green Card. Beyond first dibs on tickets, it also gives you other benefits like skipping the line at select venues as well as lounge access. You can sign up for a card using [this link](https://americanexpress.com/en-ca/referral/green-card?ref=dMITRdV7lP&XLINK=MYCP). ### Find the people in your circle with β€œGolden Ticket” queue luck Remember in Level 2 when I said that your queue position is random? Well, that’s not exactly true. It’s been found that Ticketmaster can like to play favourites. This is why you’ll see some people in your circle that seem to always get good queues. Try to identify who in your group has the best queue luck by noting down queue positions across various presales. Have them buy the tickets for the most competitive shows. It’s not clear exactly how long this β€œGolden Ticket” flag lasts when Ticketmaster gives it to you, so take advantage of it when you start to notice a hot streak in queue luck. ### Learn how to maneuver softbans Well, you hoped it wouldn’t happen to you, but then it did: you got the dreaded *"Your Browsing Activity Has Been Paused"* screen. ![Ticketmaster "Your Browsing Activity Has Been Paused" screen](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/tmpaused-1.png) Don't panic, you can get around this most of the time There are a number of ways I’ve found to get past this error. Any number of these could work: - Switching to Wi-Fi if using data, or switching to data if using Wi-Fi - Switching between phone, computer, or any other device - Disabling VPN if you’re using one - Turning off Private Relay if on iOS - Physically moving to a different location, away from your home or wherever you’re trying - Resetting your cache and cookies - Opening Ticketmaster in incognito/private mode (this has been reliably working for me after everything else above stopped working) - If you only get the error once on the checkout page, copy the full URL and open it in an incognito tab - Waiting. This is often a temporary marker that’s put on your account and could go away the next day - Have someone else buy the tickets ### Some sales allow you to enter the queue on multiple devices It’s not clear ahead of time which will allow for this, but you can try opening Ticketmaster on different devices at the same time, and even just different browsers on the same device (Chrome, Safari, Edge). If you get a pop-up making you choose between the original device and joining at the back of the queue, then it won’t be possible for that show. If, however, it lets you into the waiting room on both devices, then you should be okay. ### Tickets without a timer are not on hold For this one, you won’t be able to tell until you’re on the checkout page. If you see a timer in the upper corner, your tickets are safe, and you have that much time to buy them; otherwise, they will be released for someone else to get. If there isn’t a timer, it means your tickets are not locked down, and someone could buy them before you. I’ve seen this happen with last-minute ticket drops, but it could happen in other scenarios. ![Ticketmaster timer](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-28-1.png) Clock's ticking ### The inventory you see on Ticketmaster is a lie Ticketmaster is in control of how many tickets it makes visible in a given sale. When you see the map with all its blue and pink dots, don’t assume that it’s an accurate representation of how many tickets are truly left. There’s a lot of β€œinvisible” inventory with every concert. Some get reserved for specific groups or businesses, some for production holds, and some are held back by Ticketmaster to make the show look more sold out than it really is. If you see entire blue rows alternating with grey ones, that’s exactly what’s happening. These are tactics used by Ticketmaster to nudge you towards the tickets it wants you to buy. For example, seats in the 300s being turned off at Scotiabank Arena to push you to buy the pricier seats in the 100s. Learning to spot when this happens is crucial to differentiating a show with substantial demand from one that Ticketmaster is blowing smoke on. There are a number of different methods they use, enough to constitute a separate blog post. A simple takeaway here would be this: if you see the β€œblue stripes” pattern, assume that prices will likely fall. !["Blue stripes" pattern on Ticketmaster example](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/data-src-image-17012589-0d8d-4ff5-969a-eaab15dc8b64.png) A clear example of the β€œblue stripes” pattern used to show fewer tickets than there really are. ![Bring Me The Horizon Toronto ticket availability](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-33.png) Only the back rows in the 300s are available for this show in an effort to clear out less desirable tickets. ### Subscribe to FaceValue This may seem like a shameless plug, but wanting to win the Ticketmaster War is what led me to create FaceValue. Most major concerts **don’t even require you to participate** in the battle. You can secure the tickets you want not by playing the presale, but by playing Ticketmaster itself. By identifying ahead of time which concerts are overhyped or being propped up by artificial demand, you can make the call to **Wait** on sales and buy closer to showtime – saving yourself hundreds of dollars in the process. Subscribing and staying up to date with FaceValue is the missing key that FOMO-driven promoters don’t want you to hold. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/lvl6-n.png) ## Level 6 ****Becoming What You Sought to Destroy** ### Let's talk ethics There comes a time in every concert lover's life when their desire to get sought-after tickets forces them into a deep ethical dilemma. This is where your desire to have concert tickets and your humanity part ways. These are the tips that essentially turn you into a bot, scalper, or even a criminal. That isn’t what I started FaceValue to be, and frankly, I’m confident you can win any sale without having to cross these lines. However, it’s at least important to be aware that this ugly underbelly exists. ### The bottom And with that, we’ve reached the very bottom of the β€œWinning the Ticketmaster War” iceberg. We’ve come a long way. So, like any deep-sea diver, we must take care to *depressurize* as we float back to the surface. A great way to do that would be to scroll back up and jot down 3-5 tips to arm yourself for your next ticket battle. Remember, getting tickets is a skill, and just like any skill, most people never get past the basics. Every tip you can adopt puts you closer to the winner's circle. Now get out there and secure those tickets. ![Ticketmaster "You Got 'Em" screen](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-34-1.png) **Sweet, sweet victory.* ## Sign up for FaceValue Toronto Toronto's no BS source for concert intel Subscribe Email sent!

In 2023, he came with Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin on *The Trilogy Tour*, which stopped for two nights at Scotiabank Arena. Just four months later, he returned with the same trio on *The Trilogy Tour: The Party Continues*. Then, before the bald caps could even collect dust, he was at the Great Canadian Casino in November. I guess, relative to his '23/'24 pace, it's been a while, but have we really started to miss Pitbull that much? What should have been nostalgia-baiting marketing direction just comes off as amnestic. ![Last 4 Toronto Pitbull concerts](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-11.png) Has he ever left? ### Recent popularity surge + Maybe it's the Lil Jon pairing, maybe it's the recession in the air. Shit, maybe it's [Maybelline](https://www.tiktok.com/@maelys.ami/video/7515385786166955286?ref=facevalueto.ca). The truth is: Pitbull is so hot right now. As of writing this, he's sitting at a comfy 66 million monthly listeners on Spotify, putting Mr. Worldwide within reach of the top 25\. This could be a situation where collectively, we find the difference between loving Pitbull and wanting to spend $150+ to see him. Or, every co-worker within three hours of the GTA will be fighting for tickets. The need for a designated Ticketmaster presale sign-up seems to suggest a level of confidence in his current demand. ### Historically prone to price drops - Call it a consequence of being too early on the new hype or too late on the 2010s hype, but his past concerts weren't smash successes. Pitbull has typically seen his ticket prices drop closer to showtime for past Toronto shows. He doesn't drive the same level of enthusiasm as a [main pop girl](https://facevalueto.ca/olivia-dean-the-art-of-loving-live-2026/) or a [K-Pop star](https://facevalueto.ca/bts-world-tour-2026/). It could continue to be the case for this show. ### Potential for an added night - They've left enough space before and especially after the show for an additional night or two to be added. - Thursday, Sep 3: **Holmdel, NJ** - Saturday, Sep 5: **Toronto** - Wednesday, Sep 9: **Clarkston, MI** The 6th or 7th are the most likely candidates here, as the 6th lands on a Sunday and the 7th still leaves a day buffer for border crossing. I'd be shocked to see a third date considering most of the tour routing already runs tight, but a second night isn't out of the question. --- My recommendation is to **Wait**. If the demand is substantial, a second or third date will be added, and prices will fall. If not, this would be the perfect ticket to scoop up during [Concert Week](https://exclaim.ca/music/article/live-nation-s-30-ticket-to-summer-includes-avril-lavigne-pulp-weird-al-yankovic?ref=facevalueto.ca). ![FaceValue Verdict for Pitbull: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/fv-verdict---wait.png) ## Track Pitbull prices Every price I capture for this show lands on its [page on the FaceValue Concert Tracker](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/pitbull-toronto-2026-09-05-989dd645?ref=facevalueto.ca).

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DTdPDb0EbMb/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [TikTok Announcement](https://www.tiktok.com/@madisonbeer/photo/7594884435980471583?lang=en&ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Facebook Announcement](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17XVge58Sn/) ### Seating Map ![Seating map for Madison Beer at Coca-Cola Coliseum](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-8.png) Map is subject to change. This looks like a placeholder ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### The buzz isn't there yet -- While her popularity is rising (with a recent Hot 100 entry), Beer's ambitions are a bit lofty with these venue choices. She is jumping from a \~2,500 capacity theatre tour to mini-arenas with around 5,000-8,000 capacity. There's even Kia Forum and Madison Square Garden dates in there?! Heh... more like Madison *Beer* Garden.. if you're Square. *(PLEASE DON'T UNSUB PLEASE DON'T UNSUB!!)* Anyway, she's yet to prove that she can sell venues of this caliber. Maybe her team is anticipating an Addison Rae or Zara Larsson level of rise in the coming months. ![Resale prices for Zara Larsson's upcoming tour](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-9.png) Resale prices for Zara Larsson's upcoming tour We can see with Larsson the drawbacks of booking reservedly. Her upcoming theatre tour quickly sold out, with resale in the hundreds for all dates following a recent surge in popularity. The problem is, as her booking team, you can't really plan for that kind of spike. ### It's on a Friday, summer night + Weekend-anchored shows will almost always outperform early/midweek ones. It's an easier commitment for casual fans. By parking Toronto's stop in the middle of July, it makes it an even easier buy. ### Will be limited to one show + Beer will be in Detroit the night before and has a date with Boston on the 12th, leaving only the 11th open for an additional Toronto date. It's very unlikely for another night to be added, given it would force her into a 5-night stretch with two border crossings. Not ideal! ### Coca-Cola shows don't tend to sell - The venue itself is an awkward middle child for shows too big for History but too small for Scotiabank Arena. I associate shows booked at Coca-Cola Coliseum with a lack of confidence. Past concerts have shown us that it's fairly easy to scoop up a last-minute ticket for cheap. Even Doechii, who was slated to become a megastar in 2025, saw tickets drop below face value. --- My recommendation is to **Wait**. I'm sensing a slow-sellout approach for this tour, meaning you'll have ample opportunity to buy tickets at face value. If it holds, you can expect discounted tickets closer to July. If you start seeing Madison Beer's popularity surging, that'll be your sign to calmly lock in on those tickets. ![FaceValue Verdict for Chris Stapleton: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/fv-verdict---wait.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: July 13th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Madison Beer tickets really get? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved. ![FaceValue Verdict for Evanescence - World Tour: Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call I made on January 13th, 2026, a week before artist presale had started was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in January. 🎟️ ****Madison Beer β€” Coca-Cola Coliseum** July 13, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $140.75 ****Floor**: $115.00 - $286.04 ****100s**: $80.25 - $289.30 ****Suites**: $127.25 Prices held strong for **Madison Beer in Toronto** for most of the time between presale and the concert. The ticket map looked sold out and for the longest time, it was looking like the **Wait** verdict would have been wrong. But in the month before the show, the cracks were starting to show. Here's a graph showing how ticket availability and get-in prices fluctuated in the weeks leading up to the show. The dotted line represents the initial get-in price of $80.25\. The white line is the cheapest available ticket across Ticketmaster, StubHub, and TickPick. The grey line is the total remaining inventory on Ticketmaster. The green area represents how much cheaper tickets got compared to the original cheapest face value ticket price. ![Madison Beer get-in prices and inventory in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-10.png) On June 26th, that's when we first saw prices breach below face value, and from then on, it was like the dam burst. Prices completely collapsed in the days leading up to the show! Here's how low I was able to record prices for each section. ![Lowest recorded prices per section for Madison Beer in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-11.png) GA got as low as $85 (-40%). Floor was $63 (-45%), with a single price observation spike at $60\. 100s were over half off at a low of $39 (-52%), and Suites went down to $55 (-57%). No matter what section you wanted to be in, you were able to get deals of around 50% for Madison Beer in Toronto. **Wait** was the right call. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Madison Beer Toronto** ****GA**: $56.00 ****Floor**: $52.00 - $223.04 ****100s**: $41.00 - $209.30 ****Suites**: $72.00 I tracked this one myself the whole way, capturing prices every few hours until doors.

There's a lot of information floating around, but I'll simplify it to what you need to know for Toronto: - To get access to the presale, you will need to purchase an annual **GLOBAL ARMY Membership** before 6PM on January 18th. - Do **not** buy the US or Japan ARMY Membership, you need the **GLOBAL** one - The membership costs 19.67 USD (\~$27.33 CAD) and must be registered under the **same email** used for your Ticketmaster account. - You can buy the membership [**here**](https://shop.weverse.io/en/shop/USD/artists/2/categories/18?subCategoryId=30&ref=facevalueto.ca). - In your application, you can select up to three cities to participate. Select Toronto. If you would like to try for two other cities, select those as well. - Upon completion of your membership registration, you will get an **ARMY Membership Number**; this will be your presale code to use on January 22nd. - Only ARMY Membership holders who signed up before 6PM on January 18th will be able to join the queue for the presale. - Anticipate **all** tickets selling out during the ARMY Membership presale. - You can find more information regarding presale [here](https://btsworldtourofficial.com/?ref=facevalueto.ca) and [here](https://weverse.io/bts/notice/33091?ref=facevalueto.ca).

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### It's BTS +++ This will be one of, if not the single biggest presale of the year. BTS is a group with gargantuan global popularity and demand, driven by their deeply passionate fanbase (called ARMY). The band has been away for the last few years in order to participate in mandatory military service. In that time, anticipation for their comeback hit fever pitch. To give a sense of the scale of demand, there were [recent rumors](https://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/live/the-count-column-2026-01-09?ref=facevalueto.ca) that HYBE (the company managing BTS) was offering the entire tour to AEG Presents (the largest promoter in the world after Live Nation) in exchange for **50% interest in Coachella**. The deal fell through, and now Live Nation is responsible for the tour. A full tour sellout is practically a certainty. Casual fans will take interest. ARMY fans have had enough time to prepare that they've gotten jobs to financially support following the boys on as many dates. We *may* be looking at a tour that could go band-for-band with Swift's [Eras](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-eras-tour-highest-grossing-all-time-1-billion-1234921647/?ref=facevalueto.ca). ### They will be using a 360Β° stage layout The in-the-round setup will allow for increased capacity. This technically will make it *easier* to get tickets. But with how massive the demand is, it doesn't push the needle towards *Wait* in the slightest. The layout has yet to be seen at Rogers Stadium, so it will be interesting to see how many more seats they'll be able to accommodate and if other acts mirror the setup. To give you a sense of how it could look, I made a detailed illustration. ![How BTS in-the-round could look](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-7.png) --- My recommendation is to **Big Buy**. Even factoring in the $27 paywall for presale access, don't expect tickets to be available post-presale nor for prices to fall. Good luck, ARMY. πŸ«‘πŸ’œ ![FaceValue Verdict for BTS: Big Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/fv-verdict-big-buy-w.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: August 25th, 2026* Was the call right? Did BTS tickets ever drop in price? This is where I breakdown the aftermath of the show to see how the sale played out from start to finish. ![FaceValue Verdict for Megan Moroney - The Cloud 9 Tour: Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call to **Buy** that I made on January 13th, 2026, before tickets had went on sale was **Correct**. BTS in Toronto ended up being a **Big Buy**, with tickets staying completely sold up for the entire time leading up to the show. Here's how face value prices looked when tickets first went on sale in January. 🎟️ ****BTS β€” Rogers Stadium** Aug 22 + 23, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****Floor**: $318.13 – $1,215.60 ****Side Stands**: $143.13 – $845.40 ****North Stands**: $118.13 – $305.40 Both BTS shows in Toronto stayed completely sold out with resale prices staying well above face value for the entire time leading up to the concerts. Buying when tickets first went on sale was the best option for BTS in Toronto.

Luke Combs occupies nearly the same demographics as Chris Stapleton, though Combs has two dates at Rogers Stadium compared to Stapleton's one. We can see below the Ticketmaster maps showing the current inventory for both nights. Neither is sold out, though if it were contained to a single night, it wouldn't be out of the question for it to be sold out by now. Though how likely is it for Stapleton to add a second night? ![Luke Combs Night 1 - Rogers Stadium ticket availability](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-6.png) Luke Combs Night 1 - Rogers Stadium ![Luke Combs Night 2 - Rogers Stadium ticket availability](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-5.png) Luke Combs Night 2 - Rogers Stadium ### No room for added dates + Well... not likely. On the front end, Stapleton is boxed in by [Guns N' Roses](https://facevalueto.ca/gnr-2026/) on the 5th, leaving only the 7th open before he sets up shop in Detroit. Given the production demands of a stadium show, I'd say it's unlikely for a second night to be added. ### An All-American Road Show? Now? - It's no secret that Canadian/American relations have been... burdensome, to say the least. It's an unfortunately timed and named tour for the two Canadian cities added to the itinerary. Many Canadians have proudly stopped buying American products, and while American entertainment hasn't seen the same level of boycott, there's something more *direct* about supporting a tour that wears its patriotism so visibly. Expect some fans to choose to spend money elsewhere. Speaking of... ### Back-to-back-to-back Stadium Shows -- The Civic Holiday week is loaded up with three consecutive nights featuring three different concerts: - **August 4**: [Foo Fighters with Queens of the Stone Age](https://facevalueto.ca/foo-fighters-take-cover-2026/) - **August 5**: [Guns N' Roses](https://facevalueto.ca/gnr-2026/) - **August 6**: Chris Stapleton That's a lot of white men with guitars feeding on Gen X/Boomer wallets. There's also [AC/DC](https://facevalueto.ca/ac-dc-power-up-2026/) just a month later, and who knows who'll get added in the coming months. While Stapleton's audience doesn't crossover as neatly as the other three groups do, I still expect casual fans to be more selective. --- My recommendation is to **Wait**. There aren't enough factors pushing Chris Stapleton over the Rogers Stadium hurdle.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### First tour in 8 years ++ Finally unshackled from his [Las Vegas residency](https://www.complex.com/music/a/alex-ocho/bruno-mars-extends-las-vegas-residency-yet-again?ref=facevalueto.ca), this will be most fans' first opportunity to see him live since 2018\. The Scotiabank Arena (then Air Canada Centre) shows were smashing successes, though they were plagued by controversy as fans were subjected to [misleading pricing tactics](https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ticketmaster-prices-scalpers-bruno-mars-1.4826914?ref=facevalueto.ca). It remains to be seen whether ticketing will be similarly controversial, and if so, to what degree. I recommend reading the CBC News piece to get a sense of how the last Toronto stop went. ![CBC News article on Bruno Mars 2018 concert in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-4-1.png) Some things never change... ### Wide net for additional shows - Toronto's dates are in the fortunate spot of being dead last on the first NA leg, with nearly a month gap before he kicks off the EU dates in Paris. With a 3-day buffer before the previous stop in Columbus, we're looking at a substantial window for Mars to add more dates in Toronto, depending on presale demand. Looking at the dates in full, it looks like the routing already factors in added dates for almost every city, but especially the biggest markets on the itinerary: - **Las Vegas** at the start of the tour, a massive revenue stop with an established affinity for Mars after performing there [**131 times in 15 years**](https://www.setlist.fm/stats/concert-map/bruno-mars-bd5153a.html?ref=facevalueto.ca) - **Toronto** last, with a month gap afterwards - **London** ending the EU/UK leg with a month gap afterwards - **East Rutherford** (representing the NY/NJ market) to start off the second NA leg - **Inglewood** (representing the LA market) with a cozy week before and afterwards Added dates completely change the dynamic for ticket pricing, and this is one of the most telegraphed itineraries I've seen for dates to be added. Of course, more dates means more tickets. While that does mean tickets will be easier to get, it doesn't necessarily mean it will be *easy*. That brings me to probably the most detrimental factor for Bruno's success in Toronto. We need to talk about Rogers Stadium. ### Everybody hates Rogers Stadium -- I know, *boooo* Rogers Stadium. It's a massive, airstrip-sized zit on an otherwise spotless complexion of Toronto venues. People are sick of shows being booked there. But can I present to you an alternative way to look at it? That 15... call it 25-minute walk, and the gripes about sound and sightlines, and everything wrong with the venue: those inconveniences may be your best chance at getting these tickets for a good price. They very well may prevent enough people from buying tickets for you to secure the win. Not just during presale, but in May when enough people realize they'd rather just... not go and sell their tickets at a discount. It happens more than you'd think. Sucks for them, but fantastic news for you. The late May dates also suggests that Mars could be the first show to kick off the Stadium's season (Stray Kids opened up 2025's on June 29th). **If** the venue manages to make some massive PR wins and sways favour, that's unlikely to take effect until later concerts. Many will be especially skeptical of the first shows and wait for reviews or a well-executed marketing campaign. ### Rogers Stadium shows are not selling well\-- So far, of the four artists on sale for the upcoming season, only one of two shows from one artist is *looking* to be a big success: Luke Combs' Saturday show. I say "*looking"* with italics because System of a Down's two shows in September 2025 also *looked* the same, only for hundreds of standard-priced tickets to be available for **both** dates closer to September, obliterating the resale market and leading to floor tickets being sold in the single digits. Every other show (Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC,) looks even worse. ![Guns N' Roses Rogers Stadium ticket availability](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/01/image-3.png) The current state of Guns N' Roses tickets at Rogers Stadium Bruno Mars is likely to sell more tickets than these groups, but it's sobering to see just how much of an effect the venue choice can have on sales. I think this will particularly have an effect floor seats closer to the back, and North Stands tickets. Nobody liked being that far away from the action, and resellers struggled across 2025 to unload tickets in these sections. If you just care about getting into the venue, these will be the tickets to look out for. --- ## The verdict Here are the two most likely scenarios I can see playing out: #1 Tickets are decently priced ($150 for an average ticket) and most tickets instantly sell out. 1-3 more dates are added. Platinum tickets are dangled in front of fans for months. They go for a full tour fast sellout, and we're left playing a game of chicken with scalpers. #2 Tickets are priced outrageously ($300+ average floor ticket) and Toronto pumps the brakes. New dates aren't added. They go for a slow-sell approach, and the map stays bluer than most would expect. In Scenario #1, buying only makes sense if you secure a standard-priced ticket that you're satisfied with. Dynamically priced Platinum and panic purchases should be avoided entirely. Trust that more dates will be added. In Scenario #2, the right move is to wait. The elevated pricing combined with venue fatigue points towards a prolonged on-sale period and eventual price softening. As a general recommendation, including and beyond just these two scenarios, my verdict is: **Wait**. Stay calm and exercise caution. If tickets are well-priced, try to secure them. If not, it's okay. Do not FOMO into the Platinum and dynamically priced tickets that **will** pop up. More dates will be added, and you will have more opportunities to get tickets for cheaper.

This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in October. 🎟️ Face value prices (fees included): ****Floor**: $143.13 - $2399.40 ****Side Stands**: $143.13 - $959.40 ****North Stands**: $93.13 - $185.40 It looks like Scenario #1 is the one that ended up closest to reality! Three additional dates were added shortly after presale had started, and within days the markets were FLOODED with people trying to get rid of their "accidentally purchased" Bruno Mars tickets. This is how the average Bruno Mars Rogers Stadium ticket map looked for the months leading up to the show, after on-sale hype had cooled. ![Bruno Mars ticket availability for Night 3/5 as of 3/13/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-11.png) With 250,000 tickets available, you were bound to find deals for most of the dates, and that's exactly what ended up happening. Thousands of tickets remained unsold across the five dates and resellers were forced to eat substantial losses. Standard price tickets (blue dots) had dropped multiple times, with tickets in the front rows of floor that were originally selling for $2400 dropping to several hundreds. The entry price of $93.13 - $143.13 didn't really budge, but the deals for any ticket that wasn't a nosebleed were plentiful. Week-of, $118.13 rear GA tickets were added for all five shows, and that became the new "entry" price anchor. We even saw tickets in the 5th row of the side stands going for $118.13\. These tickets would have originally been sold for upwards of $959.40 during presale. ![Bruno Mars 5th row Side Stands tickets for $118.13 for the May 31st Toronto show](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-12.png) Of the five shows, the Saturday, May 30th show was the closest one to being actually sold out, and even that one was not truly sold out. The opening night May 23st show ended up being postponed due to weather, which lead to many refunding and creating a major oversupply of tickets that trickled all the way into the new date of May 31st. In summary, here's what you would have saved on **Bruno Mars** Toronto tickets by choosing to **Wait**. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Bruno Mars Toronto** ****Floor**: $25.00 - $1950.00 ****Side Stands**: $21.75 - $841.27 ****North Stands**: $15.00 - $67.40 I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Four years since *Motomami* ++ This will be RosalΓ­a's first show in Toronto since her *Motomami* stop at Budweiser Stage in 2022\. The show wasn't a full-blown sellout, but her popularity has only grown since then. Four years is a great sweet spot where it's long enough for hype to mount but still short enough for fans to remember missing her. ### LUXury tax? - There's a level of *richness* to the LUX era. Everything about the rollout feels lavish and elegant and ornate... dare I say, *expensive*? It seems like a targeted effort to assign RosalΓ­a's image to that of opulence. Even looking at the seating map feels too rich for my poor eyes. I fully expect tickets to reflect this affluent vision and for many fans to be priced out. ### Sole Canadian Date, No Close Alternatives + The nearest date will be in New York at Madison Square Garden. While it could siphon some fans looking for the most luxurious LUX experience, I don't expect it'll make much of a dent. ### Summertime Saturday Slot + One of the best times to book an arena show. This could definitely influence impulse buys the week of. ### Latin & global pop is booming in Toronto ++ Bad Bunny, Shakira, and Rauw Alejandro are just a few artists who have recently graced Scotiabank Arena. All were massive financial successes. It's yet to be established whether a 2026 RosalΓ­a can have the same gravitational pull, but a sellout would only extend what is becoming the new norm. ### That Fred again clip was crazy.. + This one's mostly for fun, but c'mon... Surely there are a few people out there that saw the viral clip of Fred again and Four Tet spinning *LUX* lead single, Berghain (which completely beguiled a crowd of thousands to remove the stickers from their cameras to start filming), and thought, "Yeah, put me down for 6 tickets of whatever ***that*** was."

The words *discount* and *LUX* are incompatible with one another.

How cheap did RosalΓ­a tickets really get? This is where I breakdown the aftermath of the show to see how the sale played out from start to finish. ![FaceValue Verdict for Bruno Mars: The Romantic Tour Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call to **Buy** that I made on December 9th, 2025, before tickets had went on sale was **Correct**. RosalΓ­a in Toronto ended up being a **Buy**, with tickets staying almost completely sold up for the entire time leading up to the show. Here's how face value prices looked when tickets first went on sale in December. 🎟️ ****ROSALÍA β€” Scotiabank Arena** Jun 13, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $649.77 – $1027.03 ****Floor**: $238.25 – $1359.92 ****100s**: $228.00 – $397.21 ****100s Side**: $228.00 ****300s**: $89.50 – $119.00 ****VIP**: $649.77 – $1023.73 Tickets flew quick for this show.

Closer to the concert date, there was some movement, with dozens of blue dots popping up in the 100s. All of these tickets were between $228.00 - $238.25, matching the same prices that they were originally. ![RosalΓ­a Toronto ticket availability the day of the concert on 6/13/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-19.png) Ticket availability day-of Over on StubHub, there were some tickets that fell below face, but these deals were sparse. ![RosalΓ­a Toronto Stubhub resale prices the day of the concert on 6/13/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/06/image-20.png) StubHub prices day-of In short, if you just wanted to get in the room, the original entry price of $89.50 was unbeatable. There were some savings possible in the floor and 100s, but these deals were too hard to come by to make this a Wait.

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [/r/MartinGarrix Subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Martingarrix/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DR2INmzCPtv/?hl=en&ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Facebook Announcement](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17df264gEf/) ### Seating Map ![Martin Garrix RBC Amphitheatre Seating Map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/image-5.png) 400's have been replaced with GA seating ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Established demand in Toronto + This will be Garrix's first show here since his marquee, fest-closing set at VELD in summer 2024\. He was the biggest pull on the lineup, helping to carry the festival into a sellout. Two years is *just* long enough for fans to start clamoring for his return. ![Reddit post complaining about no Martin Garrix on 2026 VELD lineup](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/image-9.png) **Don't you worry child. See, Martin's got a plan for you.* ### Simultaneously his biggest tour and limited + It's miraculous how he managed to pull it off. This is being marketed as his *biggest tour ever*, with cutting-edge production and exclusive new music. But it's still fairly limited, hitting only 16 markets across the entirety of North America. ### Big-name EDM does well at RBC Amp ++ Historically, it's been tough to find cheaper tickets for major DJs at the venue. Here's how comparable shows have fared over the last two years at (the previously named) Budweiser Stage. - 09/26/25 Slander: Prices dropped below face - 08/09/25 Above & Beyond: Dropped well below face - 07/29+30/25 RÜFÜS DU SOL: Stayed mostly around face - 07/11/25 Fisher: Stayed around face - 09/06/24 Dom Dolla: Stayed around face - 06/15+16/24 John Summit: Stayed around face The closest parallel to Martin Garrix's popularity here is John Summit, who sold out two dates at the venue at roughly the same time of year. You could easily make the case that Garrix is a bigger draw than all of these artists. Speaking of John Summit, I was able to find this information for how tickets were priced (tax and fees included). I wouldn't expect Garrix's prices to match these, but it's helpful to know how prices compare when the sale goes live. πŸ’Έ **Price Reference - John Summit* June 15th, 2024 ****Pit**: $240 ****200s**: $155 ****300s**: $110 ****400s**: $77.50 ****Lawn**: $54 ### Smart routing and scheduling + Every show on his tour takes place on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. May/June puts him in prime time for the summer break rush. He also made sure to leave room for a Saturday show to be added for Toronto. It's clear that his team was in their bag when mapping out this tour. --- My recommendation is **Big Buy**. We're looking at a potential **touring logistics masterclass** here with Martin Garrix. Returning at just the right time for Toronto, on the cusp of summer break, on a Friday night. The cards are stacked in his favour. While not impossible, I think you'll be very hard-pressed to find discounted tickets for this show. ![FaceValue Verdict for Martin Garrix: Americas Tour Big Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/fv-verdict-big-buy.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: June 7th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Martin Garrix tickets get? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved. ![FaceValue Verdict for Martin Garrix: Americas Tour Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call I made on December 7th, 2025, days before tickets had went on sale was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in October. 🎟️ Face value prices (fees included): ****GA Floor**: $180 ****200s**: $122 ****300s**: $100 ****400s:** $84 ****Lawn**: $73 I was right to call a Saturday show being added, but I didn't anticipate a third one being added for Sunday! Garrix ended up selling out Friday and Saturday easily, with tickets remaining available for Sunday all the way until show day. Despite this, there were no discounts available for any of the three shows and the call ended up standing for all three dates. Buying early ended up being the best play for securing Martin Garrix tickets for the lowest price. I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime. Each night has its own record: [May 29](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/martin-garrix-toronto-2026-05-29-65f60f61?ref=facevalueto.ca), [May 30](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/martin-garrix-toronto-2026-05-30-923de562?ref=facevalueto.ca), [May 31](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/martin-garrix-toronto-2026-05-31-520ff060?ref=facevalueto.ca). ## Sign up for FaceValue Toronto Get the big picture for all major tour announcements Subscribe Email sent!

No announcement, no presales, and less than 24 hours of lead-up before on-sale begins. Call it a soft launch of what will almost certainly be next year's biggest country show.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### A silent announcement - Fans were surprised to see Toronto's dates quietly appear on Ticketmaster with zero announcement from Zach or his promoters. With no presales and less than 24 hours of lead-up time before the public on-sale, it's a baffling approach for a stadium-scale artist. This suddenness could soften early demand simply because many fans *don't even know the shows exist yet*. ### The Great American Stadium Standard ++ Zach is one of few modern artists with the pull to comfortably sell out stadiums off fan loyalty alone. He recently set the record for the largest ticketed concert in the U.S. with an eye-watering crowd of [112,408 fans](https://people.com/zach-bryan-sets-new-record-for-largest-ticketed-concert-in-the-us-11820775?ref=facevalueto.ca) at Michigan Stadium. His recent tours have been massive success stories with sellouts across the board and resales comfortably in the hundreds. ![Zach Bryan's crowd in Michigan](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/image-7.png) Looks a bit packed, yeah ### Proven Track Record in Toronto ++ Zach's last rodeo in Toronto was a pair of Scotiabank Arena shows in March 2024\. Both cleanly sold out. Cheap seats were extremely hard, if not impossible, to come by. The demand is clearly proven, and Zach's popularity has only grown since then. ![TicketData for Zach Bryan's last Toronto concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/image-8.png) Cheap tickets for Zach's last Toronto run were near impossible to find ### Pricing: the biggest wildcard - Zach has a... *hate-accept* relationship with dynamic pricing. In 2022, he dropped a live album titled *All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster*. The very next year, he capitulated: **"One guy can't change the whole system. It is intentionally broken and I'll continue to feel absolutely horrible about the cost of tickets in an unfair market." - Zach Bryan* He's one of few major artists to force a spotlight on his ticket prices. His fans pay attention. They love him for speaking openly about pricing and judge him hard when the numbers don't match his ideals. Here's the problem for Toronto: we have little clues what tickets will cost. No verified fan vetting, no tiered releases, nothing. I can see tomorrow's on-sale going one of two ways: 1) A feel-good "Zach keeps tickets fair" moment, or 2) The Blue Jays were just in the World Series? Welcome to the *Premium* market, Toronto! --- My recommendation is **Buy**. Zach Bryan is one of the safest bets in live music, but do keep your guard up on prices. If they land fair, tickets will evaporate. If they're steep, demand could cool and force a late-game price cut. ![FaceValue Verdict for Zach Bryan: With Heaven On Tour Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/fv-verdict-zach-bryan.png) ## Track Zach Bryan prices Both Rogers Centre nights are tracked separately, each with its own prices and its own alert: [Sep 21](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/zach-bryan-toronto-2026-09-21-f02ba0cc?ref=facevalueto.ca) and [Sep 22](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/zach-bryan-toronto-2026-09-22-e15dfe8d?ref=facevalueto.ca).

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [/r/FKAtwigs Subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/FKAtwigs/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Tour dates announcement thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/FKAtwigs/comments/1pbf6ti/body%5Fhigh%5Ftour%5Fdates%5Freleased/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DRumJgUjFsH/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![FKA twigs Coca-Cola Coliseum Seating Map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/image-2.png) May or may not be a placeholder map. ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### A rare sighting in Toronto + FKA twigs bookings in Toronto are rare, which naturally heightens demand. This will be her first date in Toronto in over six years and her fourth show ever in the city. Since her last visit, she has released a mixtape and two albums, each more accessible than the last. Fans will have plenty to celebrate ***if*** she makes it to the show. And that's a pretty big if... ### I'm tired of broken promises... -- Twigs does have a dedicated fanbase, but her fans may be exhausted when it comes to her reliability. She's notoriously flakey, which may have an impact on interest. Earlier this year, she cancelled both her March dates at History, along with the bulk of her North American and European shows – citing visa issues. Twigs promised her fans that she would reschedule, but sadly **it took until another album rollout to rebook her shows**. Some dates got rescheduled into the summer, but Toronto felt especially burnt. Her shows were postponed with just days' notice, and the cancellation silently arrived months later. When the new dates did drop, Toronto was nowhere to be seen.. ### Double Album, Double Anticipation + Twigs had a busy year, dropping not just one but two albums within the *Eusexua* universe. She's riding the high of multiple rollouts, which may explain the confidence behind her venue choices. With year-end album list season in full swing and fans reminded of *Eusexua's* critical acclaim, it's the perfect time for her to push tickets. ![Pitchfork's score for Eusexua](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/image-3.png) This is one of the highest scores Pitchfork has given out this year. ### Does experimental pop sell arenas? -- Her music, while recently leaning a bit more accessible, is still fairly experimental. Coca-Cola Coliseum seats about 7,000, which is considerably larger than the sum of her prior bookings at History (5,000 total). Her popularity continues to grow, but she may have bitten off more than she could chew. Look at it this way. Addison Rae, who makes much more radio-friendly pop music, played the same venue two months ago and was unable to sell it out. Floor tickets dropped to under half of her original asking price by the time she took the stage. --- ### The verdict My recommendation is **Wait**. Shows at Coca-Cola rarely hold their ticket value, and it would be shocking for a left-field, experimental, art-pop artist to break that norm. ![FaceValue Verdict for FKA twigs: Body High Tour Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/fv-verdict-wait.png) --- ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: April 2nd, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did tickets really get? I got all the receipts right here for you, so you can see just how much readers that took my advice saved on tickets. ![FaceValue Verdict for FKA twigs: Body High Tour Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp.png) The call I made on December 2nd, 2025, before tickets had went on sale was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in December. 🎟️ Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $164.75 ****Floor**: $125.50 – $223.47 ****100s**: $80.25 - $164.75 ****Lower 100s**: $152.40 - $226.73 ****VIP**: $423.33 - $690.52 Platinum Pricing: Disabled ### Immediate sticker shock Fans were taken aback by prices when they first went on sale. GA was priced nearly double that of her ill-fated History shows, and seats were well into the hundreds. Tickets were slow to move from the start, and the momentum never built in the months leading up. ![FKA twigs Toronto ticket availability on 12/02/25](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-7.png) FKA twigs Toronto ticket availability on 12/02/25 ### Prices dropped multiple times There were multiple instances where prices for the concert dropped on Ticketmaster. On Jan 29, seats in the 100s dropped to $68.50 - $140.75. On Feb 25, GA tickets appeared for the first time since presale dropped to $104.75 (a $60 drop). On Mar 19, seats in the 100s dropped again to $58.00 - $83.75. That's a massive drop in price and a brutal sting for fans that paid upwards of $226.73 for those same seats. ### VIP tickets converted to Standard Check out the VIP tickets available in the front rows of the floor. This photo was taken on February 25, 2026. ![FKA twigs Toronto ticket availability on 02/25/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-8.png) FKA twigs Toronto ticket availability on 02/25/26 Now look at those rows on March 25th, 2026. ![FKA twigs Toronto ticket availability on 03/21/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-6.png) FKA twigs Toronto ticket availability on 03/21/26 Days before showtime, seats that were initially reserved for $400-$700 VIP options were converted to Standard Tickets and priced well below even the cheapest floor tickets that were available during presale. If you wanted front row floor tickets, that means **waiting would have saved you $606.77** vs. buying the VIP tickets that would have been needed to get those seats. In summary, here's what you would have saved on FKA twigs Toronto tickets by choosing to **Wait**. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- FKA twigs Toronto** ****GA**: $60.00 ****Floor**: $41.75 - $606.77 ****100s**: $22.25 - $142.98 Every price behind that call came from my own capture, running every few hours right up to showtime.

Joining them will be Canadian metalcore juggernauts Spiritbox and English rock duo Nova Twins. While the nostalgia factor is undeniable, Evanescence don't seem keen on leaning on it. Unlike other alt acts mining anniversaries and full album performances, Evanescence have their sights set forward with a new record expected early next year. It's a bold move that places the *Weight Of The World* on their next chapter. With a brutal Monday timeslot and a growingly patient fanbase, this presale could play out in a number of interesting ways. Here's what's shaping the Toronto stop. **Post-Show Verdict Added*: July 1st, 2026* ## Sign up for FaceValue Toronto Stay in the know for the biggest tours coming to Toronto. Subscribe Email sent!

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [/r/Evanescence Reaction thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Evanescence/comments/1pbe7wa/tour%5F2026/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DRuZ7mKEfaa/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Facebook Announcement](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1G5RqQiFR1/) ### Seating Map ![Evanescence RBC Amphitheatre Seating Map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/image.png) Mostly standard arrangement, with pit shaved down to create a 100's section ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### First solo headline, standard Toronto show in 15 years ++ Their last show would have been opening for Muse in 2023\. Before that, a co-headline with Lindsey Stirling on the same stage in 2018 and an orchestral set in 2017\. You have to go all the way back to the Sound Academy days in 2011 to remember Evanescence's last solo headline rock gig. Fans have been awaiting a show like this for ages. ### Strong, buzzy support + Though it seems they're not confident enough to stand alone on this tour. Canadian metalcore outfit Spiritbox appears on the poster with arguably more prominent typography than Evanescence. They've been on a steady upward trajectory, dominating hard rock playlist placement and being no stranger to Toronto with 5 shows here in the last 4 years. English duo Nova Twins, who have also been on a steady incline, will be joining as well. ![Spiritbox Toronto concerts](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/image-1.png) What a range too! (Spiritbox's concerts in Toronto) ### Fanbase isn't the type to FOMO in -- In contrast to pop acts whose core fanbases will jump on presales the second they open, Evanescence's audience have been around long enough to know better. They're less likely to bite on lavish VIP packages and will wait for prices to make sense or even shop around nearby dates. Expect more tepid presale urgency here. ### Uphill battle to regain momentum -- The band's early catalog has pierced its talons across multiple generations at this point. But the band doesn't seem keen on cashing in on the nostalgia. What could have easily been an anniversary tour, Evanescence has opted to tour under more general, modern branding, with only sparse mentions of a new album anticipated in early 2026\. The band finds themselves in a tough spot where they know many, if not most, will be there to hear older material, but they want to look ahead to the upcoming chapter for the band. Fan excitement around that new chapter hasn't exactly taken shape yet, so Evanescence is placing a lot of faith in the new material to sell tickets. ### Monday early-evening timing - Not doing them any favours is that Monday timeslot. It limits demand, especially from casual buyers or anyone travelling in from outside the city. --- My recommendation is **Wait**. While the bill is stacked with buzzy openers, Evanescence themselves haven't given fans much of a reason to scramble for the presale. With muted hype around the new album, playing on a Monday, and a FOMO-averse fanbase, prices are more likely to fall than spike. Unless you're aiming for specific seats, patience will definitely pay off. ![FaceValue Verdict for Evanescence: World Tour Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/12/fv-verdict-evanescence.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: June 25th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Evanescence tickets really get? Did they really *Go Under*? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved. ![FaceValue Verdict for Evanescence - World Tour: Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call I made on December 1st, 2025, before artist presale had started was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in December. 🎟️ ****Evanescence β€” RBC Amphitheatre** Jun 29, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA Floor**: $257.00 ****100s**: $257.00 - $1201.20 ****200s**: $138.50 - $852.00 ****300s**: $138.50 - $162.60 ****400s**: $94.00 - $162.60 ****Lawn**: $67.00 ****VIP**: $360.60 - $786.60 Evanescence sold better than I thought they would! I was able to scoop a last-minute deal for $75 box seats in the 300s, and when all the phone lights lit up for *My Immortal*, I turned around and saw a full RBC Amphitheatre! Here's how the ticket map looked by the end of April, with lawns still available for face, and the 200s mostly reserved for VIP. ![Evanescence Toronto ticket availability on 4/29 at 12:27pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image.png) But importantly, **waiting still paid off**. Every major section eventually fell below face value, even if some of those deals only appeared briefly. Lawn, 300s, 200s, and GA Floor were all available at or below face value on the day of the show. Here you can see lawn selling below face ($61.20 vs. $67.00). Lawn ended up bottoming out at **$45**. All those seats in the 200s originally reserved for VIP or Platinum dropped substantially. These are tickets that **originally topped out at $852.00** when presale started! Making the potential savings upwards of $644.00. ![Evanescence Toronto ticket availability on 6/29 at 2:10pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-1.png) As for the coveted GA Floor, those tickets were readily available for face value (well, quietly raised by $6) day-of, with resale GA Floor being **recorded as low as $211.00** (saving fans $46.00 per ticket). ![Evanescence Toronto ticket availability on 6/29 at 2:10pm](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-2.png) Here's a graph showing how get-in prices fluctuated in the weeks leading up to the show. The dotted line represents the initial get-in price of $67\. The white line is the cheapest available ticket across Ticketmaster, StubHub, and TickPick. The green area represents how much cheaper tickets got compared to the original cheapest face value ticket price. ![Evanescence get-in prices in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-4.png) And here is how low prices got on a per-section basis. ![Lowest recorded prices per section for Evanescence in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-3.png) So, despite Evanescence in Toronto surprising with a major turnout, we still saw a familiar pattern: the best prices showed up late, and fans who waited were rewarded with the cheapest tickets across the venue. **Wait** was the right call. The savings were brief, and you had to be watching, but they were real. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Evanescence Toronto** ****GA Floor**: $46.00 ****100s**: $35.00 - $958.20 ****200s**: $19.00 - $644.00 ****300s**: $37.00 - $87.60 ****Lawn**: $7.00 - $22.00 I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.

Heck, we can't rule out the potential crossover from [Olivia Dean's](https://facevalueto.ca/olivia-dean-the-art-of-loving-live-2026/) conflicting show either! Those are just the shows announced *so far*. The point is, fans will be forced to choose between several other legacy-heavy gigs with more narratively compelling artists. With tickets as expensive as they are now, fewer will have the cash to dole out for multiple events. ### Weak tour motive - They're touring behind no new album, no special anniversary, just a couple of singles quietly tucked away in the announcement. They booked a tour because.. it's summer and they can? With no support announcement alongside the dates, GnR really are leaning on their name and status alone to sell out 50k seats. ### Legacy pull is there, but fleeting + Let's be clear, Guns N' Roses definitely have the ability to sell a respectable number of tickets off name alone. But demand for legacy acts will generally peak earlier in comeback runs. They have been touring nonstop for a decade now and no longer bear "must-see" status. --- My recommendation is **Big Wait**. Unless you're looking for very specific seats, you stand to save a lot of money waiting on this. Expect tickets to sell at a discount close to showtime. ![FaceValue Verdict for Guns N' Roses: World Tour Big Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/fv-verdict-gnr.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: August 17th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Guns N' Roses tickets actually get? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved. ![FaceValue Verdict for Guns N' Roses - World Tour in Toronto: Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call I made on November 24th, 2026, before artist presale had started was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in November. 🎟️ ****Guns N' Roses β€” Rogers Stadium** Aug 5, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $318.13 ****Floor**: $93.13 – $1,200.00 ****Side Stands**: $130.63 – $825.60 ****North Stands**: $68.13 – $305.40 ****VIP**: $656.10 – $1,956.60 Tickets were very, VERY slow to move for this concert. To give you an idea, over 20,000 tickets were still readily available on Ticketmaster a month before the show. It's the most "sea of blue" page I've ever seen on Ticketmaster. ![Guns N' Roses ticket availability in Toronto as of 3/31/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-6.png) Ticket availability on 3/31/26 About a week before the show, there were GA Pit tickets available as part of a 4-Pack promo for $193.75/ticket, though it required four tickets to be bought at once. Still, a $124.38 discount relative to face value. And this was just a sign of things to come... ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-7.png) The day of the concert, in the early afternoon, GA Pit upgrades went up for a measly $50! With the cheapest get-in ticket at the time being around $36, that made a GA Pit ticket total around $86 (-$232.13). A 73% discount. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-8.png) ![Guns N' Roses get-in prices in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-3.png) Get-in prices over time ![Lowest recorded prices per section for Guns N' Roses in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-5.png) Lowest recorded price per section. There were still around 5,400 tickets still left on Ticketmaster by the time the concert started. All sections fell substantially below face value for Guns N' Roses in Toronto. **Big Wait** was the right call for the show. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Guns N' Roses Toronto** ****GA**: $124.38 - $232.13 ****Floor**: $43.00 - $1,150.00 ****Side Stands**: $70.00 - $625.60 ****North Stands**: $32.00 - $255.00 I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Instagram Announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DRFh9sQgFsv/?hl=en&ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![Alex Warren RBC Amphitheatre Seating Map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/image-13.png) Standard amphitheatre seating for Alex Warren ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### REBEL to Amp in One Year -- Toronto is still reeling from Alex's visit to the 2,950-cap REBEL this spring. Though it sits comfortably around his flurry of other arena/amp dates, the leap to RBC Amp is still massive. We've yet to see evidence that his streaming numbers can translate to arena success. It's a risky escalation that can make or break a career. ### It takes more than a hit - Streaming and touring success are entirely different sports. Fans are buying a night of entertainment, not just one song they love. Sure, *Ordinary* is having its moment. But convincing 16,000 people to show up on a Tuesday night is another thing entirely. ### Multiple choices for fans - Toronto's Tuesday timing lands between two other major markets – Detroit and Montreal. Both shows will be at their respective city's major sports arena and present fans with potentially cheaper alternatives. Beyond these three cities, Alex's tour extensively covers the U.S. and Canada, softening any sense of scarcity. ### The Cautionary Tale of Benson Boone - We've seen the mystical *and* magical Benson Boone walk this road this year: a viral breakout, a fast-tracked arena tour, and a base that wasn't quite ready to stay. Despite the fantastical proclamation of a [full-tour sellout in 9-seconds](https://www.instagram.com/p/DJe1mHGSjg8/?hl=en&ref=facevalueto.ca), most of his dates ended up firmly in "Wait" territory, with discounted tickets readily available for Toronto's Scotiabank appearance. ![Benson Boone Scotiabank Price History (TicketData.com)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/image-14.png) Patience won for Benson's Scotiabank stop (TicketData.com) --- My recommendation is **Wait**. Alex Warren's team is making a gutsy, opportunistic bet with an extensive arena tour. The momentum is real, but he's not quite there yet. Expect face value (and maybe even discounted) tickets to be available come showtime. ![FaceValue Verdict for Alex Warren: Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/fv-verdict---wait.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: July 10th, 2026* Was the call right?

Resale prices recorded as low as $131. ![Alex Warren Toronto GA Floor tickets available on 7/7](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/07/image-5.png) ### 200s, 300s, 400s The seated sections saw discounts for the closest (200s) and furthest (400s) seats. Platinum for the 200s initially topped out at $515.70, but by showtime, those tickets dropped down to $231.00 (savings of $284.70).

One of the UK's brightest rising exports, she's skipping the mid-sized venue step entirely and jumping straight into arenas, with Scotiabank Arena routed halfway through. Her rise has been steady, deliberate, and deeply earned. It's the kind of growth that converts casual listeners into loyal ticket buyers. But will that loyalty scale to arenas? It'll be one of the more fascinating storylines heading into the 2026 concert season. **Update (11/17):** Seating map has been added! **Update (11/18):** Night 2 has been added. The show will take place on Wednesday, August 5th. Tickets are on sale now. You can find the updated links below.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Gambling on a bold leap to arenas -- This will be Olivia Dean's first headlining run of arena dates in North America. A particularly bold jump, especially considering she has just wrapped up a theatre run over the summer – with two stops in Toronto's Massey Hall. While not as brave as [The Neighbourhood's ambitions](https://facevalueto.ca/the-ne-2026/), it surely is a test of her momentum. [The Neighbourhood - The Wourld Tour (2026)After three years away from the limelight and seven from the spotlight, The Neighbourhood is back – but not without controversy. The SoCal alt-pop outfit will make their long-awaited return to Toronto this spring, taking an enormous leap from 2018’s REBEL to Scotiabank Arena in what marks their first arena tour.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/icon/FV-7.png)FaceValue TorontoDima Doulov![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/thumbnail/74eacbfc-af64-4e60-b775-5ddfa21b259a_TABLET_LANDSCAPE_LARGE_16_9-1.jpg)](https://facevalueto.ca/the-ne-2026/) ### Proven arena sales in Europe + Olivia has already demonstrated her arena viability across the UK and Europe. She instantly sold out four 20K-cap dates in London, and it's looking like the rest of the dates are just as hot. Sure, international success doesn't always translate here, but it does show that her team can build an arena show that sells. ### Major momentum, perfect timing ++ All signs point towards 2026 being Olivia's year. Glowing press, [Grammy nods](https://www.instagram.com/p/DQzOfCYjYh0/?img%5Findex=1&ref=facevalueto.ca), rising streaming numbers, and a top-5 hit on this week's [Billboard Hot 100](https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/?ref=facevalueto.ca) – this is the kind of trajectory that launches superstardom. Timing the tour in the heat of summer gives even more time for heads to turn. ### Sabrina Tour Bump + Striking while the iron's hot, Olivia announced the tour just weeks after wrapping up a series of supporting gigs for Sabrina Carpenter. While her music occupies a different realm from Sabrina's saccharine style of pop, it does expose Olivia's craft to tens of thousands of potential new fans. We've seen the halo effect help catapult artists like Chappell Roan (post-GUTS tour) and Gracie Abrams (post-Eras tour). ### Cross-Generational Appeal + While pop soul doesn't typically sell as well as radio-built dance-pop, it does pull in a more mature demographic. Olivia's music resonates with Gen Z but also draws in older listeners who gravitate towards big-voice singer-songwriters. Arena tours thrive when multiple demographics show up, and Olivia's diverse base raises the ceiling for demand. ### Raye Sales Slow With Similar Demo - Another UK darling with critical acclaim and an impending NA tour is Raye. The two occupy a similar space within the pop soul/contemporary R&B sphere, have been on matching upward trajectories, and even [went to the same school together](https://www.instagram.com/reels/DQ4s5Dfkp9q/?ref=facevalueto.ca). Despite the similarities, her recent North American presales were surprisingly soft. Most shocking, however, is that Raye is playing much smaller venues than Olivia, with Toronto's Coca-Cola Coliseum stop being half the capacity of Scotia. The situations aren't identical, but the parallels still suggest expectations should be measured. ![Raye's TicketData price information for NA tour](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/image-11.png) The state of Raye's Get-In Prices for her NA tour (TicketData.com) --- This is looking like a **Tossup**. This one can land either way, and it entirely hinges on whether Olivia can sustain (or amplify) her current momentum over the next half-year. In an era where the club-to-stadium pipeline keeps shrinking, signs point toward Olivia Dean being next in line for an "it-girl" breakthrough. The real decision for fans is simple: how confident are *you* in that trajectory? ![FaceValue Verdict for Olivia Dean: The Art of Loving - Tossup](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/fv-verdict-olivia.png) ![FaceValue presale breakdown graphic for Olivia Dean](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/FVPoster-Olivia.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: August 17th, 2026* Wow! Looks like Olivia Dean stepped up to the plate and snatched the "it-girl" crown. These shows ended up being among the fastest selling and most in-demand concerts Scotiabank Arena have seen. Both nights sold so fast and stayed so sold out that I wasn't even able to record original face value prices besides for Floor ($187.15 – $433.76). Buying tickets during presale was the best chance at getting tickets at the best price for Olivia Dean in Toronto. ## Sign up for FaceValue Toronto Buying concerts, not hype Subscribe Email sent!

After making us weep last year with a singular Canadian date in Vancouver, AC/DC is finally bringing *Power Up* to Toronto. Their first Toronto show in 11 years will take place in mid-September at Rogers Stadium, likely marking one of the last shows of the stadium's season.

Ouch ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### First Toronto show in 11 years +10 Toronto fans were feeling the burn when AC/DC announced their first Canadian Power Up show to be in Vancouver, with no Eastern dates in site. That only added more fuel to the decade-plus wait for their return to Downsview. Legacy tours thrive on scarcity, and this one is as prime as it gets. ### Massive legacy pull +6 AC/DC's fanbase spans generations. They know what they're getting: an electric performance from one of rock's all time greatest groups. Tickets will sell no matter what. ### Montreal tickets likely easier -4 Unfortunately, rocking will be restricted to your seats. With a tiny pit, and almost entirely seated flooring arrangement, there will be no affordable general admission option for fans. Contrast that to Montreal show at Parc Jean-Drapeau, whose split GA setup will not only be grounds for moshing, but will certainly be a more affordable pit option for fans. This move puts a hard limit to Rogers Stadium pricing, as anything too high will send fans over to more favourable Saturday night Quebec gig. ![Montreal's AC/DC seating map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/image-6.png) Montreal's setup presents much better opportunity for good prices ### Chance at added dates -3 If Toronto sells fast (and it likely will), a second or even third night isn't off the table. Though the band hasn't previously doubled up on dates, there is a ample time before and after Wednesday for an added show. There's also a handful of repeats from the last run, including Vancouver, suggesting the band knows when to capitalize on a hot market. ### Pricing expected to be High (Voltage) -5 Being honest, no one is expecting cheap seats here. Between Live Nation's love for pushing Platinum, and the band's proven willingness to test price ceilings, tickets will likely be steep across the board. The older demographic will cushion this, but casual or younger fans should expect sticker shock. ### Prices dropped on last leg -7 I was able to dig up [some reporting](https://www.reddit.com/r/ACDC/comments/1jrph2x/big%5Fprice%5Fdrop%5Fat%5Fcities%5Fbesides%5Farlington/?ref=facevalueto.ca) of tickets being sold for drastically lower prices post-sale. I expect something similar to happen here, especially if we see added dates. --- My recommendation is **Tossup**. It'll all depend on how bold Live Nation is feeling with their pricing. I don't imagine prices will be reasonable, but if they are, that's a good signal to buy. Demand will be heavy right out of the gate. If you make it through the massive queue and there are only dynamically inflated tickets left, or you see dates added, that's your sign to wait it out. ![FaceValue Verdict for AC/DC: Power Up -3 Tossup](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/fv-verdict-acdc.png) ![FaceValue presale breakdown for AC/DC Power Up (2026)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/FVPoster-ACDC.png) ## Track AC/DC prices This one was close enough to call a Tossup, which makes it exactly the kind of show worth watching rather than deciding once.

The SoCal alt-pop outfit will make their long-awaited return to Toronto this spring, taking an enormous leap from 2018's REBEL to Scotiabank Arena in what marks their first arena tour. Behind the excitement, though, sits a contentious reunion: the band has reinstated drummer Brandon Fried, who was previously dismissed in 2022 following misconduct allegations. Fans are split, emotions are high, and anticipation is somewhere in between. Will the *Ghost of Tumblr Past* carry a sellout? Or will the return of *the nbhd* turn out to be *nbd*?

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [The Neighbourhood Subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/thenbhd/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Tour Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/thenbhd/comments/1one4z2/tour%5Fdates%5Fannounced/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Instagram announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DQmTrXADRu2/?hl=en&ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![The Neighbourhood Scotiabank Arena Seating Map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/image-2.png) Only a generic map is showing so far. Stay tuned ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Massive venue jump -7 The Neighbourhood's last Toronto stop was in 2018 at REBEL (2,500 cap). The bold jump to Scotiabank Arena (12,616 cap) comes without any interim step. It's not completely untreaded territory for the group, though. Their last show pre-hiatus was at the 17,500-capacity Hollywood Bowl back in 2021\. Still, it will be their first go at a full-length (mostly) arena tour. Even while factoring in their cult status and longevity, it's a major test of demand. Fans who paid for their REBEL show should anticipate some sticker shock when the presale goes live. ### A cloudy comeback -6 The band's return comes under uneasy circumstances. Following drummer Brandon Fried's [ousting in 2022](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/neighbourhood-fires-drummer-brandon-fried-after-groping-allegations-the-marias-band-maria-zardoya/?ref=facevalueto.ca) amid misconduct allegations, fans were left wondering what the future of the band would bring. Just three years later, fans were stunned to see [the band's return](https://people.com/the-neighbourhood-returns-drummer-who-allegedly-groped-marias-vocalist-11801358?ref=facevalueto.ca) marked by the reuniting with Fried. The backlash was sharp and left fans divided. Some frame the move as closure to reappear with the "classic lineup," while others saw it as a tone-deaf mistake that undercuts any goodwill the hiatus had rebuilt. Either way, the controversy is impossible to ignore and will surely weigh on fans' willingness to buy early. ### But a comeback nonetheless +4 Despite the tension, it's clear that the enthusiasm is still there. You can't deny the pull of a long-awaited comeback, and their first run in seven years will surely bring in scores of nostalgic fans. You can't book arenas out without at least some calculated projection of selling them out ([...right?](https://www.nme.com/news/music/fans-react-as-the-black-keys-cancel-entire-2024-north-america-arena-tour-3759504?ref=facevalueto.ca)), and the mix of smaller venues and limited routing suggests a cautious but optimistic expectation of sales. ### Limited, split North American run +5 With only 15 NA cities announced and a six-month gap between legs for overseas touring, scarcity is definitely in play here. Several stops are at sub-10,000 capacity venues (The Armory in MN, Anthem in DC), making Toronto one of the few full-capacity chances to catch the tour and the only Canadian choice until October's Vancouver gig. ### On a Monday -2 Never the strongest day to fill an arena. While it won't slow their core fanbase, it does invite hesitation from casual fans and fence-sitters. Expect this to soften resale demand. --- My recommendation is **Wait**. Every sale hinges on its prices, but I'd say it's an even more critical factor here. If tickets are priced reasonably, you should buy them. If you see a quick sellout and your remaining options are dynamically priced tickets, VIP, or verified resale (the *Ticketmaster Special*), definitely wait. You will get a better deal closer to showtime. ![FaceValue Verdict for The Neighbourhood: The Wourld Tour -6 Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/fv-verdict-nbhd.png) ![FaceValue presale breakdown graphic for The Neighbourhood](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/11/FVPoster-NBHD-1.png) --- ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: April 7th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did tickets for The Neighbourhood in Toronto really get? This is where I breakdown the aftermath of the show to see how the sale played out from start to finish. ![FaceValue Verdict for The Neighbourhood: The Wourld Tour Incorrect](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-INCORRECT-stamp-1.png) The call to **Wait** that I made on November 3rd, 2025, before tickets had went on sale was **Incorrect**. The Neighbourhood in Toronto ended up being a **Buy**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in November. 🎟️ ****The Neighbourhood - Scotiabank Arena** Apr 6, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $200.75 ****Floor**: $178.25 – $388.84 ****100s**: $105.75 – $388.64 ****100s Side**: $178.25 – $211.00 ****300s**: $54.00 – $105.75 Here's where I got it wrong. ### Prices were solid from the start Tickets went on sale for surprisingly cheap. This is how prices compared to the average prices for each section for all other Scotiabank Arena concerts in 2026. **The Neighbourhood Prices vs. Venue Average for 2026** **GA**: -29% **Floor**: -39% **100s**: -38% **300s**: -49% Tickets were significantly cheaper across the board to see The Neighbourhood over most other arena concerts. A cost of entry of only $54 is especially appealing for price conscious fans. ### I severely underestimated The Neighbourhood's fanbase This show was far from a slow sellout, the demand was there from the start and didn't let up during almost the entire time before showtime. Despite a 5x venue capacity jump from REBEL to Scotiabank Arena, the band rose to the occasion and capitalized on comeback and nostalgia-driven hype. ### Allegations were a non-factor There are some shows where the controversy can be too much to bear. Today, as I'm writing this, [Ye was just banned from entering the U.K.](https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/article/kanye-west-banned-from-entering-the-uk/?ref=facevalueto.ca) just a week after being announced as the sole-headliner for all three days of the Wireless Festival in July, following backlash over his history of antisemitic remarks. Conversely, The Neighbourhood were able to control the story around reinstating their drummer, Brandon Fried. [During an interview with Zane Lowe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucs6ix5Sj9k&ref=facevalueto.ca), mere weeks after tickets had gone on sale, the band went on record to claim witnessing "genuine growth" and sobriety in Fried. They acknowledged the validity of fan concerns and stated he deserves a second chance. At the end of the day, it had no impact on their ability to sell out the arena. ![The Neighbourhood Scotiabank Arena ticket map on Jan 30, 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-9.png) Side-view seats were added late-January and quickly bought up ### Limited opportunities to buy last-minute If you hadn't bought tickets during the presale, you weren't left completely in the hands of the resale market. There were some chances to scoop up tickets on show-day. Dozens of fans were reported to have lined up for the box office, though it's unclear how many ended up successful. At 1:30PM, a batch of tickets in the 100s directly facing the stage were made available for **$152.50 - $178.25**, a solid price considering there were comparable seats being sold for as much as $388.84 during the presale. ![The Neighbourhood tickets available on Apr 6 at 1:33PM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-10.png) Tickets added around 1:30PM on the day of the show Verified Resale tickets were available below their original price of $388.84\. These were in the second row of the 100s, closest to the stage. Some of the best seats in the house. ![The Neighbourhood tickets available on Apr 6 at 1:34PM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-11.png) And this was the big one. **GA pit tickets** (the closest tickets to the band) dropped at around 2:10PM **at their original face value price of $200.75**. ![The Neighbourhood tickets available on Apr 6 at 2:11PM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-12-1.png) These ones did not last long, and were not available for any longer than 10 minutes. Lastly, at 3:16PM, three new rows of tickets were added for $211.00 on the floor. ![The Neighbourhood tickets available on Apr 6 at 3:16PM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-13.png) Uhm... I'm not sure they're supposed to look like that. ![The Neighbourhood tickets available on Apr 6 at 3:16PM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-14.png) These seats were all $211.00 and marked as FLR-A, FLR-B, and FLR-C. This isn't the first time I've seen new rows of floor tickets being added for concerts at Scotiabank Arena. I've seen it happen firsthand for all three Lady Gaga shows last September. It can be hard to predict exactly which shows they'll try this, but for the mega-sold out ones like Lady Gaga and The Neighbourhood, I could see the incentive for them to not want money left on the table. It's another thing to look out for when trying to scoop up last-minute deals. ### The takeaway? This was a big swing and a miss on my end. **Presale was the best time to buy tickets** for The Neighbourhood in Toronto. Predicting these outcomes is far from a guarantee. I'll be taking the lessons learned from following this concert from start to finish to refine my process and make stronger predictions in the future. If there's one thing I can promise you, it's that I'll be giving it my all. I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.

I'll be keeping tabs on how these tours move in the resale market in the coming months, noting down when and where prices start to drop. My goal here is simple: to make sure fans know what the real face value looks like. We have seen before the price of "Standard Admission" suddenly drop, with previous buyers left holding the bag. Every sale we document makes the ticket game more transparent and more fair for everyone. ## Sign up for FaceValue Toronto Buying concerts, not hype Subscribe Email sent!

Touring behind her new album, *It's Not That Deep*, Demi will be making her first large-scale run since 2018's [short-lived](https://variety.com/2018/music/news/demi-lovato-cancels-fall-tour-dates-1202901241/?ref=facevalueto.ca) *Tell Me You Love Me* tour. Toronto lands a third of the way through the North American leg, making it an early test of whether Lovato's name can carry Scotia weight (and pricing).

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Demi Lovato Subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/demiheads/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Instagram announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DQULS0NkSRe/?img%5Findex=1&ref=facevalueto.ca) - [/r/Popheads thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/1ohfou5/demi%5Flovato%5Fannounces%5Fits%5Fnot%5Fthat%5Fdeep%5Fnorth/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![Demi Lovato Scotiabank Arena Seating Map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/image-15.png) Half pit, half seated floor arrangement here ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Every tour's a comeback -7 Let's take a look at Demi's last three tours. - 2016's *Future Now*: arena level, co-headline with Nick Jonas - 2018's *Tell Me You Love Me*: healthy sales, but an early cancellation damaged momentum - 2022: *Holy Fvck*: downsized to clubs and theatres, with soft sales outside of core cities That kind of inconsistency makes for tough booking. One album cycle can nearly sell out, the next can struggle even at dramatically lowered capacity. While most of her fans will support her at every step, the frequent career resets puts her at a disadvantage against peers who have found a steady touring rhythm. This makes any given tour feel *make-or-break*, rather than a predictable draw. Promoter Live Nation is swinging for the fences with a solo arena run. ### Sentiment remains mixed -4 Online chatter surrounding the new era has been cautiously optimistic at best. Fans seem supportive but skeptical that Demi can push arena demand. And that's before we've even seen the ticket prices... ### Early signs that the hype isn't there -8 To promote the new album, this week Demi performed a *One Night Only* show at the Hollywood Palladium in LA. Reports of over 100,000 queued for the 4,000-cap venue suggested massive demand. But by showtime, tickets were reselling for less than face value. It's the perfect snapshot of Demi's volatility: massive top-of-funnel energy, modest follow-through at the box office. If a single theatre show in LA can't fully sell out on launch night, how do we expect an arena run half a year later to fare? ### History proved Toronto still loves her +2 While not every show on 2022's *Holy Fvck* tour proved to be a smash, Toronto's History date was a massive success. The show fully sold out, with resale climbing into the hundreds. Local fans who skipped the smaller show will likely show up this time. ### Monday night April booking -3 Weeknight arena shows are generally a damper on casual attendees. The concert being outside of peak touring season doesn't help either. ### Scotia isn't kind to mid-tier pop -5 Even for strong touring acts post-pandemic, the venue has proven to be a tough sell. Live Nation's strategy has shifted from targeting full sell-outs to being content with leaving seats empty with fierce pricing. ### ADΓ‰LA could steal the spotlight +2 Though not representative of the genpop, [/r/popheads is thrilled](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/1ohfou5/demi%5Flovato%5Fannounces%5Fits%5Fnot%5Fthat%5Fdeep%5Fnorth/?ref=facevalueto.ca) to see the Dream Academy *winner-in-our-hearts*, AdΓ©la JergovΓ‘, opening on all dates. I wouldn't be surprised if people buy tickets just for her set – especially if resale drops enough to justify it. --- My recommendation is **Big Wait**. The promoter took a gamble with these venues. You'll probably see early presale enthusiasm from core fans, followed by a plateau and subsequent drop as Live Nation and resellers (is there a difference?) find their way back to reality. ![FaceValue Verdict for Demi Lovato: It's Not That Deep -23 Big Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/fv-verdict-demi.png) ![FaceValue breakdown for Demi Lovato - It's Not That Deep](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/FVPoster-Demi-1.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: April 26th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Demi Lovato tickets get? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved. ![FaceValue Verdict for Demi Lovato: It's Not That Deep Tour Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-3.png) The call I made on October 28th, 2025, days before tickets had went on sale was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in October. 🎟️ Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $205.75 ****Floor**: $205.75 - $487.04 ****100s**: $121.75 - $487.04 ****300s:** $74.25 - $121.75 ****VIP**: $629.39 - $842.93 Platinum Pricing: Enabled ### Tickets were not moving for the longest time Demi was struggling to sell tickets for the tour. Here's how the ticket map looked on March 25th, less than a month before the concert: ![Demi Lovato Toronto ticket availability on 03/25/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-35.png) Tickets for the 300s were still starting at $74.25 ### Cancelled dates worried fans In February, [she announced](https://people.com/demi-lovato-cancels-five-tour-dates-to-protect-my-health-11903477?ref=facevalueto.ca) 5 dates would be cancelled, with the tour start-date being moved from April 8th to April 13th. ![Demi Lovato apologizing for cancelled tour dates in 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-38.png) Fans [weren't buying](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/1r1894h/demi%5Flovato%5Fcancels%5Fshows%5Fin%5Fcharlotte%5Fnashville/?ref=facevalueto.ca) the claims of health concerns and attributed the cancellations to poor ticket sales. ![Reddit comments following the tour dates being cancelled](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-39.png) ### Demand started to shoot up When it was looking like the tour was going to be a complete failure, suddenly things started taking a turn for the better. Positive reception from the earlier dates generated enough buzz to start selling tickets. ![TicketData.com graph for Demi Lovato Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-36.png) Now it didn't translate to full sellout, but it made the situation substantially less dire. By the day of the concert, tickets were still readily available in most sections. ### Tickets still fell below face value On Ticketmaster, tickets in the 100s first dropped to $120 then down to $100, with floor seats dropping down to $183\. Resale for the 300s section went as low as $40\. ![Demi Lovato Toronto Obstructed seats for sale on 4/20/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-37.png) Obstructed View seats popped about 4 hours before showtime In summary, here's what you would have saved on **Demi Lovato** Toronto tickets by choosing to **Wait**. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Demi Lovato Toronto** ****Floor**: $22.75 ****100s**: $21.75 ****300s**: $34.25 These prices are my own captures, taken every few hours from the announcement to the night of the show.

Along with a new album, the English powerhouse will be bringing her cathedral of chaos back to Scotiabank Arena. While other dates have their own array of indie darlings, Toronto is lucky enough to welcome superstar-in-the-making Rachel Chinouriri. With Montreal and Detroit dates hugging Toronto, this stop will test just how loud the city's lungs still are for Florence's signature brand of holy hysteria. ## The facts - **Who**: Florence + the Machine | Support: Rachel Chinouriri - **When**: Thursday, April 16th, 2026 | 7:30PM - **Where**: Scotiabank Arena | 12,588 Capacity - **Why**: Touring behind her new album, *Everybody Scream* - **Last Toronto show**: 09/03/22 (Budweiser Stage) - **Nearest stops**: Detroit (04/13), Montreal (04/15) ### Presale Dates - Artist: Nov 3 @ 12:00PM ([Sign Up](https://go.seated.com/event-reminders/47dc6371-4688-43fe-951a-4967aeca1d8c?ref=facevalueto.ca)) - Amex: Nov 3 @ 10:00AM - VIP Package: Nov 3 @ 10:00AM - General Public: Nov 5 @ 10:00AM #### Ticket Links Thursday, April 16: [Ticketmaster](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/florence-the-machine-everybody-scream-tour-toronto-ontario-04-16-2026/event/10006356994E887A?ref=facevalueto.ca) | [Stubhub](https://www.stubhub.ca/florence-and-the-machine-toronto-tickets-4-16-2026/event/159717602/?backUrl=%2Fflorence-and-the-machine-tickets%2Fperformer%2F469945&ref=facevalueto.ca) | [TickPick](https://www.tickpick.com/buy-florence-and-the-machine-tickets-scotiabank-arena-4-16-26-7pm/7514166/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Community Chatter Curious how fans are feeling about the tour? Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Florence + The Machine Subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/FlorenceAndTheMachine/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Tour Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/FlorenceAndTheMachine/comments/1of0vf0/us%5Ftour%5Fquestion%5Fthread/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![Florence + The Machine Scotiabank Arena Seating Map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/image-9.png) Fully seated floor ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Nearly a four-year tour gap +3 Her last appearance at Bud Stage will have been almost four years ago. It's not a very long gap, but it's paced well enough to reignite pent-up demand. ### Scotiabank Arena is a tough sell -4 While not her first show in the arena (that would be October 2018 for the *High as Hope* Tour), Florence in 2026 is a different beast from Florence in 2018\. Scotia has comparable seating capacity to Bud Stage, where her last two visits have been, but without a cheaper GA lawn offering, prices will be higher for most attendees. The move indoors will surely test her pull at arena prices. ### Casual audience has waned -6 That's not to say the *Dog Days Are Fully Over*, but we're a long way from the commercial peaks of Florence's early output. We'll have to see how the new album lands with the public. ### Multiple dates in driving distance -3 The jury's out on whether hardcore fans will be willing to cross borders for Detroit, but Montreal happening just one day prior could split fans if the price is right. ### Cozy spring timing +2 Nestled away from the bustling summer festival season, April presents a comfortable buying opportunity for fans not yet bankrupt by ticket blitzes. ### Rachel Chinouriri primed to soar +1 While not a major ticket driver right now, opener Rachel Chinouriri is a rising star in the scene. With recent collaborations with PinkPantheress, sombr, and a TikTok hit, there does exist a world where she makes it into the big leagues. --- My recommendation is **Wait**. The jump from amphitheater to arena suggests confidence, but without a real resurgence in fan demand, it's hard to see the price hike as justified. Expect resale to soften post-album release. ![FaceValue Verdict for Florence + The Machine: Everybody Scream -7 Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/fv-verdict-fatm.png) --- ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: April 24th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Florence + The Machine tickets really get? I got all the receipts right here for you, so you can see just how much readers that took my advice saved on tickets. ![FaceValue Verdict for Florence + The Machine: Everybody Scream Tour Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp.png) The call I made on October 27th, 2025, a week before tickets had went on sale was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in November. 🎟️ Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $199.75 ****100s**: $173.00 - $463.51 ****300s:** $74.50 - $121.75 ****100s Side:** $173.00 - $224.25 ****300s Side:** $74.50 - $121.75 Platinum Pricing: Enabled Note: Side-view seats were added after initial sale. ### A classic example of a fake sell-out If you were to take the ticket page at face value (heh), you would think Florence + The Machine was a sold out concert. But what instead happened is a classic case of Ticketmaster's ability to manipulate ticket inventory to tell a different story from reality. ![Florence + the Machine Toronto ticket availability on 03/05/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-20.png) Florence + the Machine Toronto ticket availability on 03/05/26 ### Limited view drop Around March 20th, there was a large drop of side-view seats in the 100s and 300s ranging from $74.50 to $224.25\. At the same time, you could see dozens of seats popping up in the 100s. These were priced at $289.01\. At this point there still wasn't much room to save money, it would take some more waiting for that to happen. ![Florence + the Machine Toronto ticket availability on 03/20/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-21.png) Florence + the Machine Toronto ticket availability on 03/20/26 ![Florence + the Machine Toronto ticket availability on 04/07/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-22.png) Tickets in the 100s releasing on 04/07/26 ### Numerous pit drops The first of many pit ticket drops happened on April 14th, just two days before the concert. Pit tickets are among the most coveted in the whole arena, with them being the first section to appear sold out shortly after presale. If you wanted to buy pit between November 3rd and April 14th, you would have been paying around $450 on the resale market for a scalped ticket. Other pit drops happened over the next few days, including one where prices dropped to $173.00. ![Florence Pit tickets dropping on 04/14/26 along with seats in 102/103](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-23.png) Florence Pit tickets dropping on 04/14/26 along with seats in 102/103 At the same time as the first pit drop, dozens of new seats in the 102/103 sections popped up for $224.25\. These seats were comparable to ones sold at Platinum price for $463.51, marking a saving of $239.26 if you waiting for front row 100s tickets. ![Florence seats in sections 102/103 release days before the concert on 04/14/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-24.png) Seats in 102/103 were priced at $224.25 ### Resale panic sold The fun didn't stop at Ticketmaster, we saw prices drop across the board on Stubhub too, with tickets in almost all sections falling below face value. ![Discounted tickets for Florence & The Machine available day-of on 04/16/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-25.png) Discounted tickets for Florence & The Machine available day-of on 04/16/26 ![Discounted tickets for Florence & The Machine available day-of on 04/16/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-26.png) Discounted tickets for Florence & The Machine available day-of on 04/16/26 This one really came down to the wire, with prices only dropping below face value with days to spare. I knew it would be a close call, as Florence definitely has the ability to sell out Scotiabank Arena, but this ended up being another case where patience beat out the FOMO. In summary, here's what you would have saved on Florence + The Machine Toronto tickets by choosing to **Wait**. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Florence + The Machine Toronto** ****GA**: $26.75 - $250.00 ****100s**: $11.00 - $239.26 ****300s:** $7.50 ****100s Side:** $69.00 ****300s Side:** $5.50 I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Fanbase aging out of FOMO -6 With Live Nation driving ticket prices through the roof in recent years, fans that enjoyed their previous tour will have a direct point of comparison when it comes to pricing. As the fanbase gets older, they become less susceptible to the FOMO tactics of a modern Live Nation presale. ### Hamilton date -5 The boys will be playing the newly renovated TD Coliseum early on in the tour. For the most eager fans, this will be the place to see them as anticipation will be at a height. ### Late tour fatigue -4 Consequently, their agent opted to route Toronto's stop much later in the run. Splitting the GTA across two dates months apart feels like a strategy that spreads buzz thin. We can expect resale to soften with multiple options afforded to fans. ### Lateral touring -3 The *Everyone's a Star* tour marks 5SOS's third consecutive visit to Bud Stage. It seems the group has reached a plateau where they can't sell the jump up to Scotiabank Arena. Repeat visits to the same venue will mean fewer people will be buying off sheer hype. ### Peak summer outdoor appeal +2 Coming fresh off a Civic Holiday weekend at the top of August, the show has a good chance of bringing out casual fans beyond the core fandom. Concertgoers in this category will be more likely to buy closer to the date, causing a volatile resale market heading into showtime. ### The buzz just isn't there -6 Anecdotally, I'm hearing secondhand that while fans are excited, they're not *pawn-the-wardrobe, open-multiple-lines-of-credit, sell-your-soul* levels desperate for tickets this time around. Even on their last run, we saw resale plummet well ahead of the show. [![Get-in prices on the resale market for 5SOS's last Toronto show](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/image-14.png)](https://www.ticketdata.com/events/234052?ref=facevalueto.ca) Get-in prices on the resale market for 5SOS's last Toronto show --- ## Verdict My recommendation is **Big Wait**.

This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in October. 🎟️ ****5 Seconds of Summer β€” RBC Amphitheatre** Aug 5, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $240.50 ****200s**: $117.00 – $515.70 ****300s**: $94.00 – $114.60 ****400s**: $72.50 – $114.60 ****Lawn**: $46.75 ****VIP**: $545.70 – $649.99 This show was a fun one to watch for price movement. 5SOS had the Hamilton show on June 2, 2026, which had its prices completely freefall. The entire upper bowl was disabled at one point to help push more sales towards lower bowl and floor. GA Pit upgrades were sold for just $20 day-of. The story for Toronto's show went a bit differently. Tickets for Toronto's 5SOS first saw discounts back during the Summer of Live promotion (starting April 29th), where lawn tickets were sold for $30 (-$16.75). Exactly as I predicted would happen in my initial verdict. But once summer actually kicked off and the Hamilton show happened, tickets started to move a quickly, and the show was starting to look like it would sell out – or at the very least, sell better than Hamilton's did. It did sell better, but prices still fell across most sections. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-20.png) Tickets in the 300s went as low as $49 (-$45) and seats in the 400s as low as $60.50 (-$12).

Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Legacy Act Oversaturation -8 While every year we see a run of legacy bands poised to run off with the pensions of boomers (*please... stay...*), I expect to see an even stronger lineup in 2026\. More acts means more choices for consumers. With tours being announced with more runway than ever, Rush making their [grand return](https://facevalueto.ca/presale-breakdown-rush-fifty-something-2026/), and Rogers Stadium quickly becoming the [dadrock Mecca](https://facevalueto.ca/foo-fighters-take-cover-2026/), it's never been a better time to be Rich and Retired in Roronto.

Eager fans already know to expect a stacked setlist if they took a peek at [what Europe got](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/iron-maiden/2025/pge-narodowy-warsaw-poland-b53d936.html?ref=facevalueto.ca). **Finally**, a Maiden setlist built for the people that discovered their music through *Guitar Hero & Rock Band*.

The band played Scotia just two years prior with singer Bruce Dickinson doing a solo show only a month ago. While the previous Scotia show sold well, it wasn't completely packed out. ![Iron Maiden's crowd for their October 26th 2024 Scotiabank Arena show](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/image-11.png) I remember seeing tickets for quite cheap day-of for this one This run feels more like the band playing calendar math. Is 45 supposed to be a number that energizes us? If only the band's first voyage was [22 years earlier](https://youtu.be/XEFZ30Cvdnc?t=10&ref=facevalueto.ca)... Now that'd be a tour with cross-generational pull! ### My Last Words? +2 Supporting act Megadeth makes this a monster bill for classic heavy metal fans. The group recently announced [the beginning of their end](https://ca.billboard.com/music/rock/megadeth-last-album-farewell-tour-vic-rattlehead-video-1236044456/?ref=facevalueto.ca), with a final album and farewell tour before retiring the axes.

[Fan are expecting](https://www.reddit.com/r/Megadeth/comments/1oe9hr7/im%5Fextremely%5Fdisappointed%5Fwith%5Fthese%5Fannounced/?ref=facevalueto.ca) a proper headline run through 2027\. Given this show is 10 months out, we should expect to know by then whether this will be Toronto's last dance with Megadeth. If it is, that will surely drive up demand. --- My recommendation is **Wait**. Legacy tours aren't known to show mercy with pricing, and there's no reason to assume an exception here. There is ample time for prices to cool between now and August. I expect resellers to *Run to the Hills* for this one come showtime. ![FaceValue Verdict for Iron Maiden: Run For Your Lives -11 Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/fv-verdict-maiden.png) ## Track Iron Maiden prices Both Scotiabank Arena nights have their own page, their own prices and their own alert: [Aug 29](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/iron-maiden-toronto-2026-08-29-4481eeef?ref=facevalueto.ca) and [Aug 30](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/iron-maiden-toronto-2026-08-30-6c02c12b?ref=facevalueto.ca).

Here are the best places to gauge sentiment: - [Lewis Capaldi Subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/LewisCapaldi/?ref=facevalueto.ca) - [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/lewiscapaldi/) - [Instagram announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DQMkbi8DAVb/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ### Seating Map ![Lewis Capaldi Scotiabank Arena Seating Map](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/image-10.png) 1/3 pit and 2/3 seated floor for Lewis ### πŸ’‘**How I rate shows** - Various factors are considered, including community sentiment, time since last show, pricing, proximity to nearby dates, and more - Each factor is given a positive or negative score. Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors There's a mix of emotional and market-driven elements playing into this presale. Here's everything pushing it up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Comeback narrative +9 While 3 years isn't a super long gap in most circumstances, Lewis' return to live shows comes with an emotional undercurrent. Having taken a two year break, citing mental and physical health, this tour will mark a triumphant return for the star. I expect a strong amount of early interest as fans will be buying out of support, not just excitement. ### Limited routing +6 With only 10 cities to share across an entire continent, and practically no space for additional dates, scarcity is playing a part in this sale. Boston was the only city to have two dates announced right from the jump, which further cements my belief that this will be the only Toronto date. ### Minimal production -5 If recent tours are anything to go off of, Lewis Capaldi's shows are built around emotion-first, spectacle-second. While we don't know much about the direction of his upcoming tour, it's fair to assume a continuation of the norm. To be fair, Ed Sheeran can pack a stadium with nothing but a looper pedal and a guitar. Generally speaking though, folks appreciate a flashy visual with their arena night-out. Footage from his last Toronto show ### Jump to arena -4 Coca-Cola Coliseum to Scotiabank Arena is a sizeable jump in capacity (roughly double), and Torontonians aren't exactly starved for gigs. Selling out is a guarantee usually reserved for the titans of touring. --- My recommendation is **Buy**. Look, Toronto loves a good comeback story. With post-COVID revenge spending finally cooling down, people are getting wiser to spending their hard-earned money on cash-grab tours. From where I'm standing, this is shaping up to be the opposite of that: a feel-good return story with heavy early interest and an emotional fan response. Now lets just hope I don't eat those words when we see the prices... ![FaceValue Verdict for Lewis Capaldi: US & Canada 6 Buy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/fv-verdict-lewis.png) --- ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: April 26th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did tickets for Lewis Capaldi in Toronto really get? This is where I breakdown the aftermath of the show to see how the sale played out from start to finish. ![FaceValue Verdict for Lewis Capaldi: USA & Canada Incorrect](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-INCORRECT-stamp-1.png) The call to **Buy** that I made on October 24th, 2025, before tickets had went on sale was **Incorrect**. Lewis Capaldi in Toronto ended up being a **Wait**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in November. 🎟️ ****Lewis Capaldi - Scotiabank Arena** Apr 22, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****GA**: $168.00 ****Floor**: $201.50 - $237.25 ****100s**: $137.00 - $237.25 ****300s**: $87.00 - $137.00 Here's where I got it wrong. ### The demand just wasn't there I overestimated the effect of the comeback narrative and its ability to drive Lewis Capaldi to a sellout. ### The show was rescheduled due to NBA playoffs ![Scotiabank Arena announcing Lewis Capaldi rescheduling in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-32.png) The week before the concert, the success of the Toronto Raptors created a scheduling conflict where they were set to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Ball is life, which meant Lewis had to find a new date for his Toronto concert. With the 24th taken up by the Triumph concert, the 22nd made the most sense. The kicker is that everyone was able to exchange their tickets for a refund due to the change, no questions asked. This flooded the market with more tickets for a concert that already wasn't fully sold out, triggering a chain reaction that saw prices plummet. ### Tickets were readily available in all sections Here's how the ticket map looked on the day of the concert at 2:10PM. ![Lewis Capaldi ticket availability on 04/22/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-33.png) Ticket availability on show-day at 2:10PM Tickets in the 300s were priced at $87.00 - $115.50 (face value). Seats in the 100s were $111.50 - $137.00\. Here's a fun one: ![Lewis Capaldi Gondola Ticket Offer at Scotiabank Arena on 04/22/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/image-34.png) There were Gondola tickets all the way up top that included $36.25 in spend for food and non-alcoholic beverages. Dinner and a show! The best deal was floor seats, which were selling at $87.00 ($114.50 cheaper than face value). ### The takeaway? This was a big swing and a miss on my end. **Waiting until the day of the concert was the best time to buy tickets** for Lewis Capaldi in Toronto. Now I won't pretend it was going to be a smash-hit sellout even if the rescheduling didn't happen, but being moved back a day did have an effect on dropping ticket prices. Onwards and upwards to the next shows! I capture these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.

This will be the Foos first bout in Toronto since the tragic loss of Taylor Hawkins in 2022\.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### Their first Toronto date in eight years +8 For a band that tours so frequently, it's surprising that they haven't been here since 2018\. Looking back at footage from the gig, it looks to have sold really well! That's a lot of pent-up demand for the Foo's, let's just hope the price is right. Not a lot of empty seats here.. ### Queens forming a blazing package deal +4 As if the Foos couldn't sell a stadium run on their own, they opted to bring desert-rock legends Queens of the Stone Age on the road with them. Having just played a [decadent, sold out, orchestral, house-of-horrors Massey Hall show](https://youtu.be/Qp749zBivcM?list=RDQp749zBivcM&t=212&ref=facevalueto.ca) just weeks ago (can you tell I loved it?), their fans are only more eager for the gang to return for a guns-blazing rock and roll gig. This kind of booking transforms the show into a proper "event", early start time and all. ### Rogers Stadium is still finding its rhythm with pricing to demand -5 Now, we've only had the pleasure of making the Sisyphean hike to Downsview Airport for one season so far, but it's no secret that Live Nation has had some growing pains when it comes to pricing these shows. SOAD/Deftones looked to be an equally inviting package deal, but floor tickets there dropped as low as SIX DOLLARS during the first nights show. Two nights was definitely an overextension there. We should be eager to see if they've learned their lesson this time around. If we see even a single added date, expect Foos tickets to be included in your Happy Meal come July (joking... unless?). ### Not Canadians only option -3 With dates spanning Vancouver, Edmonton, and ... Regina ([thank you Chappell Roan](https://youtu.be/woLfAvD5iXI?list=RDwoLfAvD5iXI&t=103&ref=facevalueto.ca) for both inventing and putting Saskatchewan on the map), Toronto won't be Canadians only choice to see the Foos next summer. On top of that, their routing has an Osheaga-sized gap at the start, perhaps the band will be looking to make up with Montreal after their (understandable) [cancellation](https://www.mtlblog.com/montreal/foo-fighters-cancelled-their-osheaga-appearance-in-light-of-taylor-hawkins-death?ref=facevalueto.ca) in 2022. ### Rogers Stadium is still finding its rhythm with optics.. -4 The reputational damage the stadium took in its opening season can't be neglected. Chris Martin [roasting the venue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers%5FStadium?ref=facevalueto.ca) is baked into the venues Wikipedia page for crying out loud! Live Nation have a long hill to climb (should've saved the Sisyphus reference for here :/ Curse this blasted typewriter I pen from), to convince Torontonians that their "weird stadium" is worth the trek. --- My recommendation is **Tossup**. This is a show that hinges on its prices and whether it sticks to a single night. If it does, I wouldn't be surprised to see a sell out (an actual one, not a fake out like SOAD N2..). The good news is, most of us should have clarity on prices ahead of the artist presale. The newsletter presale should be limited enough to not make a dent in inventory while giving us ample time to make sense of the pricing structure for these shows. ![FaceValue Verdict for Foo Fighters: Take Cover 0 Tossup](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/fv-verdict-foos.png) ## Track Foo Fighters prices Every price I capture for this show lands on its [page on the FaceValue Concert Tracker](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/foo-fighters-toronto-2026-08-04-9ada6bc7?ref=facevalueto.ca).

Then in late January: ![Conan Gray Toronto ticket snapshot - January 26 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/IMG-20260126-WA0004.jpg) Conan Gray Toronto ticket snapshot - January 26 2026 ### Tickets quietly pop up Tickets that were **originally hidden** quietly popped up in the 100s, priced around $150 - $230\. These were marked as Official Platinum tickets, but were still priced below the original maximum price of $367.69. ![Conan Gray Toronto ticket snapshot - February 16 2026](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/IMG-20260216-WA0011-1.jpg) Conan Gray Toronto ticket snapshot - February 16 2026 ### Limited View Seat drop A week before the concert, there was a Limited View Seat drop ranging from $53.50 - $116.25\. ![Conan Gray Toronto ticket snapshot - February 23 2026 at 8:45PM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/Screenshot_20260223_204507_Ticketmaster-1.jpg) Conan Gray Toronto ticket snapshot - February 23 2026 at 8:45PM These tickets, along with many from the January 26th drop were still **readily available** at 8:45PM, 45 minutes **after** the scheduled show start time. And that's not even the biggest cost-save of the night... ![Conan Gray Toronto ticket snapshot - February 23 2026 at 4:23PM](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/03/IMG-20260223-WA0013-1.jpg) Conan Gray Toronto ticket snapshot - February 23 2026 at 4:23PM ### Pit for over 70% off! You're looking at regular priced GA pit tickets for Conan Gray that were available day-of for only $177.50\. That's $476 cheaper than pit cost if you bought during presale, and upwards of $800 cheaper than if you bought pit resale at any point between October and February, for the best view in the house. These tickets were available for multiple hours, with screenshots I have saved on my phone timestamping availability at the very least between 4:23PM and 7:07PM. I was able to cart 6 of them at once (before releasing them back to the wild) to confirm it wasn't just a few. In summary, here's what you would have saved on Conan Gray Toronto tickets by choosing to **Wait**. πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Conan Gray Toronto** ****GA Pit**: $476.00 - $800.00 ****100's**: Up to $276.19 ****300's**: Up to $49.00 I tracked this one myself the whole way, capturing prices every few hours until doors. [Conan Gray's page on the FaceValue Concert Tracker](https://tracker.facevalueto.ca/show/conan-gray-toronto-2026-02-23-dfbd4980?ref=facevalueto.ca) has the full record: each section's low, and the day it hit. ### The takeaway? "Sold out" doesn't mean what it used to mean. Venues, promoters, and artists will often hold hundreds of tickets, giving off the appearance of a sold out show while reaping the benefits of inflated resale prices. Don't get caught up in the FOMO.

The first without the legendary drummer and lyricist [Neil Peart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil%5FPeart?ref=facevalueto.ca) who we lost in 2020\.

Positive scores swing in the direction of **Buy**, and negative scores swing towards **Wait** - Factors sum up to one score, which becomes the FaceValue Verdict: **Buy or Wait** --- ## The factors Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale. ### First tour in 11 years +11 There's been over a decade of pent-up demand for the group. This alone moves many fans to buy early. ### Four dates, with room for more -6 More dates means more chances to score tickets. Scotiabank Arena's seating capacity for concerts with a west-end stage is 15,800, multiplied by 4 dates gives us 63,200 seats. That's roughly 25% more capacity than a single Rogers Centre date would allow. ### Added dates before any presale happened +7 Typically, when a concert sees dates added after the initial announcement, it'll happen during the first presale or a day after. In this case, two dates (August 11 + 13th) were added before anyone had a chance to buy tickets. This suggests a high level of demand. ### Prices are looking BRUTAL -9 The Amex presale is taking place as I write this, so I've had a chance to scope out ticket prices. Nosebleeds are $225, Upper Bowl are upwards of $500, Lower Bowl are $484-961, and floor... just forget about it, $807 at its lowest with VIP packages in the thousands. Many, many blue tickets are showing, two hours after the sale started, suggesting fans aren't ready to dish out that kind of maple. ### The shows are ten months out -10 For comeback tours, hype generally peaks at the moment of announcement. Given that the first dates are in LA during June, there is plenty of time for the buzz to settle. ### A fan-run covers event sold out Massey Hall in August +3 [RUSHFest Canada](https://rushfestcanada.ca/?ref=facevalueto.ca), a two-day tribute event, had resale in the hundreds in the days leading up to the event. Suffice to say, Torontonians have been itching for Rush. ### Production hold drops -5 Now I have no way to prove it, but I suspect that Ticketmaster uses [production hold](https://www.instagram.com/p/DLh%5FyAZMhZY/?ref=facevalueto.ca) ticket drops as an opportunity to dump tickets that they've previously held back (beyond ones that would typically be considered production holds). In my experience, tickets can be easier to grab during these drops, with some of these tickets remaining unsold even at showtime. Simply put, production hold drops are the resellers nightmare. This is one of your best shots to buy. --- My recommendation is **Wait**. Keep an eye on resale markets over the next few months as hype cools and inventory trickles out. ![FaceValue Verdict for Rush: Fifty Something -9 Wait](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2025/10/fv-verdict-RUSH-1-2.png) ## Post-Show Verdict **Added*: August 25th, 2026* Was the call right? How cheap did Rush tickets really get? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved. ![FaceValue Verdict for Rush - Fifty Something in Toronto: Correct](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/04/fvverdict-CORRECT-stamp-5.png) The call I made on October 10th, 2025, before artist presale had started was **Correct**. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in April. 🎟️ ****Rush β€” Scotiabank Arena** Aug 7, 9, 11, 13, 2026 Face value prices (fees included): ****Floor**: $458.25 – $961.16 ****100s**: $417.00 – $956.90 ****100s Side**: $173.00 – $631.45 ****300s**: $137.75 – $604.47 Prices for all four nights of Rush in Toronto were among the most expensive ever seen in Toronto, with seats in the lower bowl starting at a mouth-puckering $417.00\. As soon as I saw prices were starting this high, I knew it would be a Wait, all we had to do was play the waiting game, and boy did we ever... Here's how the ticket map looked for almost the entire 10 months between presale and showtime. ![Rush Toronto ticket availability as of 4/29/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-13.png) Ticket availability as of 4/29/26 Completely sold out, with only Verified Resale Tickets available for at least 2x the face value. I had people tell me I was **doomed** for waiting and to just suck up and pay resale. We've waited Fifty Something years for Rush to come back, what's a few more months?! And though it came down to the wire, waiting **did** finally persevere! ![Rush Toronto ticket availability as of 8/7/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-14.png) 8/7 at 1:06pm On the early afternoon of Night 1's show, a batch of lower bowl tickets dropped for only $225.00 (-$192). These tickets were marked as Obstructed View, as the VIP platform by the mix was elevated, but that only seemed to be an issue with the first or second row closest to the ground. You'll also see a spattering of blue dots that weren't there for the 10 months leading up to the show, and those only grew and grew. ![Rush Toronto ticket availability as of 8/9/26](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-15.png) For Night 2, there were over 130 unsold tickets by showtime. What happened to Sold Out?! This doesn't look sold out to me, I don't know about you. These are all tickets that Ticketmaster could have listed and sold to fans, but didn't in order to panic fans into buying resale. Floor seats here were listed at $406.75 (-$51.50), lower than face value, and for those seats halfway up the floor section, those would have originally been around $700, marking around a $300 discount vs. buying during the presale. ![Rush Toronto tickets going below face value](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-16.png) The lowest I saw Verified Resale go across all four dates And the same happened on all dates. Here's how the map looked on the day of the Night 3 (Aug 11th) show. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-17.png) You might also notice all those blue dots next to the stages. Those were lower bowl seats sold for $233.25 – nearly half the price of the non-side-view lower bowl seats. Was that ticket half as good? Well, that's the exact ticket I bought. I'll let you be the judge. ![Side-view for Rush at Scotiabank Arena](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-18.png) Side-view for Rush at Scotiabank Arena ![Side-view for Geddy Lee of Rush at Scotiabank Arena](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-19.png) Side-view for Rush at Scotiabank Arena Let's just say I was very, very happy with my purchase :) ![Rush Toronto get-in prices in the weeks leading up to the concert](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-11.png) ![Lowest recorded prices per section for Rush in Toronto](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6e/0c/6e0cce82-0f24-4042-83ee-2fc19de95d7a/content/images/2026/08/image-12.png) Lowest recorded prices per section for Rush in Toronto πŸ’Έ ****Money Saved by Waiting** **\- Rush Toronto** ****Floor**: $51.50 - $300.00 ****100s**: $192.00 - $625.00 ****300s**: $30.00 - $425.00 I captured these prices myself, every few hours, from the announcement through to showtime.
