I imagine my dad pointing at Angel Of Poutine from his post in the afterlife and saying “See? I told you!”

Clicked the tab at 10 am and was notified that I would have about a 4 minute wait, but the pre-sale had sold out by the time I got in. Hoping for a better result tomorrow. Meanwhile, out of curiosity I had a look at what resellers wanted and couldn't find anything for less than about $300. I like this band and I'm looking forward to their second album in a couple of weeks, but if I don't get general sale tickets tomorrow, I'm not about to pay that.

Had this issue too. They sold out in seconds. Would like to see them if I could, but not enough to battle scalpers and bots

I did get one in the general sale. Selected two tickets and two tickets weren't available. Went back and selected one ticket. Straight general admission, too. Guess I got the very last one.
