Back in 1998 – you had to line up and actually purchase your Ticketmaster tickets in person. My friend and I lost the original draw for the line space – but the winner didn’t show up. So they re-drew and suddenly, these two giddy 15 year olds were 2nd in line, getting 9th row tickets at Massey Hall in Toronto – Toronto even declared it Smashing Pumpkins Day. Now 25 years later, I’m taking my kid to SP for 12th row in September!
