I like the Hip but they are not worth more than twenty bucks, that Gord Downie has cancer is sad, he seems like a genuinely nice guy, but it doesn't make them a better band.

How is it that you feel the need to try to belittle people for wanting to go see the Hip? Obviously they are worth more than 20 bucks, but the band down the road that you think is better won't be around in 2 years because they really aren't that good. You just think they are because you think they are your little undiscovered secret....
As far as scalpers go, they are scum.
