Anyone else having trouble buying tickets? I keep trying and it says no tickets available. Or it gives me some nosebleed seats!! WTF!?!? Can it be sold out already, or do they only release limited seats for pre-sale?

They only release limited seats for pre-sale.

I need accessible seating and unable to buy any. I guess you can't buy them during pre-sale and have to wait until Friday? This sucks.

Winnipeg concert fans fed up with scalpers asking $10K for a seat

'That don't impress me much,' says one Shania Twain fan

By Vera-Lynn Kubinec, CBC News Posted: Mar 24, 2015 4:00 AM CT

As the summer concert season and hockey playoff time approach, two Winnipeggers are calling on concert venues like the MTS Centre to do more to prevent the age-old practice of ticket scalping.

Since 1920, the Amusements Act in Manitoba has made it illegal to resell event tickets for higher than the original price.

But when Diane DeMare and Anne-Marie Thiebert each recently tried to buy tickets for concerts at the MTS Centre, both found the best seats in the house had been quickly bought up by ticket resellers who offered them for sale at higher prices on different websites.

"That is just not fair!" said Thiebert, who went online looking for tickets to the upcoming Ed Sheeran concert for her 18-year-old son, who's a guitarist.

DeMare wanted tickets for her daughter to go to a Shania Twain concert at MTS Centre in June.

Her daughter, being a longtime member of the Shania Twain fan club, had a pre-sale code that Demare thought would give her early access to tickets before sale to the general public.

Could only find tickets in upper sections

But ticket resellers can also access the advance sales codes. So when DeMare logged onto the Ticketmaster web site, she was disappointed.

"We're just wondering why, how is it that these ticket resellers have access to these tickets, where we're on the Ticketmaster site and we can't get actual seats in the 100 sections or 200, or even the floor for that matter," DeMare said.

Same thing for the Sheeran concert.

​"I logged on about half an hour after the pre-sale started to find that the only tickets I could find were in the 300 [upper] sections," said Thiebert.

"I couldn't believe it. I mean, I know Ed Sheeran is popular but I thought, 'How could it be already the 300 section?'"

She added, "I would think the venues need to have tighter controls in their contractual agreements with Ticketmaster."

As Thiebert surfed around ticket reseller websites, she found tickets to the Ed Sheeran show offered at more than $10,000 on one site.

"I've never seen a $10,000 ticket … maybe he comes and sits on your lap?" joked DeMare.

"Maybe you get to take his guitar home," quipped Thiebert.

MTS Centre trying to address issue

"That is astounding," said Kevin Donnelly, senior vice-president of venues and entertainment for True North Sports and Entertainment, which operates the MTS Centre.

"It is unfortunately not surprising," he added.

But there are things venues can do to help defeat scalpers who use computer programs to buy up tickets for resale.

One solution is when the venue — such as MTS Centre — requires concert-goers to arrive at the show with photo ID along with the credit card used to purchase the ticket.

In 2009, the MTS Centre started offering this so-called "paperless" ticketing, meaning there's no ticket that could be fraudulently reproduced by a reseller.

"You have to show the originating credit card at the door to get in, and we've done that without a problem," Donnelly said.

But by Donnelly's own estimate, that covers only 25 to 30 per cent of the tickets, meaning the majority of seats don't have that requirement.

He said the venues can't dictate how many of the seats are covered by that rule because the artist and promoter would have to agree to it.

"Ultimately the arenas don't own the inventory. The inventory is owned by the promoter in an arrangement with the artist or manager, so it is difficult for us to impose our will without their approval," said Donnelly.

There's another way the MTS Centre has addressed the issue.

"We've actually had a couple events where we've said all U.S. addresses are forced to do 'will call' pickup, so if you're from out of state, out of province, you have to go to the box office the day of the show, show that ID and pick up the ticket," Donnelly explained.

"If you were from New Jersey and had no intent on coming … it made it impossible to resell that ticket because you couldn't get your hands on it," he added.

"We've had shows go from 40 per cent to under five per cent out-of-market sales when we've enforced that."

Is the law being enforced?

Donnelly said he's not aware of any recent enforcement under Manitoba's anti-scalping law, which carries a penalty of up to $5,000.

In 2011, two people in Winnipeg were arrested under the act for scalping Winnipeg Jets tickets.

However, no one from the Winnipeg Police Service or the province could say whether the two were actually fined or whether anyone else has been charged since then.

Ontario, which has had anti-scalping legislation in place since 1914, recorded 26 convictions under the Ticket Speculation Act in the past five years.

Quebec tightened its law in 2011. It currently has four scalping prosecutions in progress.

While it's too late to make a difference for the Shania Twain concert in Winnipeg, DeMare has written to the singer's management company asking whether Twain is aware that scalpers had scooped up the best tickets, forcing her loyal fans to buy at inflated prices.

Ticketmaster did not provide a response for this story as of Monday night.

LMAO Tanya...no doubt...The "upcoming CD" will probably be released the same way. If by some chance I can get a personalized autographed copy of it, I will have her sign it for "Blue Cheeks" because I will be holding my breath!

Do u think she's adding dates due to the high tickets demand or just because she feels like it?

More $$$$$$$$$$  Remember this is Shania's last tour. She wants every penny she can get!

I'm assuming these additional concerts are being scheduled where there are open dates on the calendar between June-August as opposed to extending the tour into September.

So 19 more concert dates have been added in September-October.

Presented by AEG Live, ROCK THIS COUNTRY will give fans one last chance to see Shania perform her extensive catalog of iconic hits in a brand new production. The fall leg kicks off in North America on September 12 in Spokane, WA, stopping in Portland, Columbus, and Albany.

“This is a celebration tour. It’s party time!  The ROCK THIS COUNTRY tour will have a different spirit than my past tours,” said Twain. “It’s a Shania they’ve never seen before.  A lot of years have gone by and I’ve got a lot more to share.”

Beloved by millions worldwide, Shania has multi-platinum album sales in 32 countries with over 75 million albums sold, and 17 top 10 singles. Three of Shania’s albums (The Woman In Me, Come On Over, Up! ) reached Diamond certification, making her the only artist to have three consecutive albums sell more than 10 million copies in the US.

Rising to fame with her debut album Shania Twain (1993), Shania became a worldwide phenomenon with the release of Come On Over (1997), which became the best-selling country album of all time, and the best-selling album released by a female artist. Most recently, Shania performed 105 shows during her two-year Las Vegas residency, Shania: Still The One, beginning on December 1, 2012 at The Colosseum at Ceasars Palace and wrapping in December of 2014. The show garnered rave reviews throughout its tenure.

Shania Twain Extends Tour, Talks Missing Life on the Road

Superstar's first tour in 11 years launches next month, runs through mid-October

By Andrew Leahey | May 8, 2015

More than a decade after wrapping up her 10-month Up! Tour, Shania Twain is hitting the highway again. The Rock This Country Tour, which recently swelled from 48 to 67 dates, won't just mark her long-awaited return to the road; it'll double as the final tour of her career, with Twain building up buzz for a new album along the way.

The summertime trek was originally scheduled to end in late August, following a string of shows in Southern California. Earlier this week, Twain announced an extension of 19 shows across the United States and Canada, with the Rock This Country Tour now coming to a close on October 11th in Toronto, less than a four-hour drive from her birthplace of Windsor, Ontario.

Twain didn't allow much time to elapse between the end of her two-year Las Vegas residency, which wrapped in December, and the new tour, which kicks off June 5th in Seattle. She did, however, spend the interim whipping up an entirely new production.

"The atmosphere of going to the people is just different," she told Rolling Stone Country this week, highlighting the distinctions between a residency that stays in one place and a tour that crisscrosses the continent. "When you're going to them and in you're in their zone, it's different. They're at home and you're visiting and they're welcoming you to their place. I feel more like I'm hosting them in Vegas, but when I go to their town, they're welcoming you with these open arms and their spirit is just so alive, and they're excited. And they're grateful that you've come to their town. They love to share their space and their world, and so do I, and that's where we come together."

Meanwhile, Twain continues to work on new music, with the goal of releasing her fifth album after the tour's end.

Do you think Shania will play "dress up" like she did in her Vegas show (i.e. "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!", That Don't Impress Me Much", From This Moment On" "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" costumes)? Personally I hope she doesn't. It was fine for Vegas but I think it would be strange on a tour.
