Bill 18
Film and Video Classification Act

October 28, 2008, afternoon session


Ms Blakeman: What we have happening is that the tickets are being advertised at one rate and sold, many of them online, of course, which people find very useful, and we would want to keep that in place. What's happening is that we have large numbers of single tickets bought up electronically, so they're not available for the general public. When they go on the site, it says, "We're sold out," but then they get a helpful notice that sends them on to another affiliated group who has, in fact, single tickets for sale, but there is a markup on them. We started to track this through. It started to turn up with rock bands originally, and for those of you that are Metallica fans, this will mean something. If you're not, let me see if I can come up with another example that we had. [some applause] Oh, we've got Metallica fans. Okay. Good.

This is the funniest blog I've seen in a long time. Keep it up.

P.S. Don't know if you're a Harpers reader, but they excerpted a list of forbidden words uttered in the Alberta Legislative Assembly maybe a year or two back that was quite funny.
