I guess what I was trying to get across was that without the scalpers; that panic and ensuing artificial demand would be lower.

For those whining about not getting tickets because the world is against them and/or paying high prices, we live in a capitalist society people. Deal with it.

Garth Brooks, 2 weeks of Stampede, then UFC 149 in Calgary.

It's going to be glorious, even if Garth sucks.

2 weeks of stampede? I keep hearing this but it isnt it the same 9 days as always.

Yeah, you're right. It's two weekends so I always end up saying two weeks, I think it's a common mistake.

Plus, it seems like every year the pre-Stampede parties get earlier and earlier, so it has stretched to almost 2 weeks.
