There are some good acts in there, and given they could only pull from Canadian talent, it is what it is. But $140/person to see the Cowboys Junkies...  |
People pay more to see pro hockey without a second thought. Some might see it as a donation to keep the Festival and music industry afloat. I think they are also limited to 15% capacity?

With a significantly reduced (15% of normal) audience, Summer Serenades is a small step on the road to recovery for the Festival, live music and the arts. Its programming supports local and Canadian artists and the entire cultural ecosystem: technicians, production and site companies, agents, managers, publicists and other arts workers.
