Tragically Hip fans hoping to see the band live without going bankrupt may be in luck.
CTV Vancouver reports that ticket prices for the Vancouver shows on sites like StubHub have dramatically dropped.
The cross-Canada tour had fans clamouring for tickets after band frontman Gord Downie announced he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
The two Vancouver shows sold out in minutes in May and the prices skyrocketed as scalpers hoped to cash in.
“The cost is hyper-inflated. You're paying such a premium for people you want to go see and enjoy, but it's like you're planning a vacation, you're spending that much money," one concert fan told CTV News.
However, as the concert dates approached, prices for the Vancouver shows dropped.
"I think people realize more and more now that as the event gets closer, people will get rid of their tickets at a lesser price rather than get nothing," Alan Gelfand of Fair Ticket Solutions told CTV.
"The scalpers and the resellers gambled and they're losing on this one."
