As was to be expected, the 20,000 Summer Festival tickets that were offered in pre-sale to Desjardins customers on Tuesday noon found takers at lightning speed.
It only took five minutes to sell this first batch of general admission bracelets, which retailed for $138 instead of the regular price of $150.
For those wondering, when you log into the FEQ ticket office has no effect on your place in the virtual queue. At noon sharp, places are assigned randomly.
It will be the same process when the remaining 105,000 general admission tickets go on sale Wednesday, again at noon, when the 2024 program will be revealed.
On April 4, it will be the turn of tickets for the Gold and Silver Front Stage Zones, the Bell Signature Zone and the Air Canada Garden to go on sale.
The Summer Festival has not revealed the names of any of the artists appearing on its 2024 schedule. Among those who have been the subject of rumors in recent weeks are Mötley Crüe, The Offspring, 50 Cent and the Zac Brown Band.
