That, plus the two shows that were only just now added to the tour in Toronto, likely supercharged the demand for the initially announced show in Montreal, leading to the surged ticket prices and convincing some Ontario and Quebec consumers that they had no choice but to pay them, only to find out weeks later that there will be a much broader chance to see the tour in person with the new shows announced.
Notably, Montreal is one of the cities that a second show has been added.
