On June 3rd I logged into Groupon for my daily deal and saw that under Toronto they were offering sets of Rihanna tickets, 2 for $75! Rihanna’s team had overshot and had hastily booked a second show months ago, but the fan response wasn’t there. I bought 2 right away, knowing that I had the potential at scoring good seats.
The deal sold out quick. Then people started commenting that the tickets were not a good deal and you could get mega nosebleeds for cheaper then $75 for two. BUT I knew that even though it stated 300’s they would be good three hundreds or other seats that had not sold. It was first come first serve. People started panicking and having their Groupon refunded, so I actually had the opportunity to buy another set, which I did.
We arrived at the ACC around 6:30 and went to the ticket booth. I was handed 4 tickets for section 110 in the first three rows left side stage. Not only were they great seats right behind the “vip” area but we spotted other celebs such as Karinal Offishall up close and personal!
I feel bad for the people who jumped the gun and lost out on amazing seats that were a premium price. (Or do I?) Remember the saying “If it seems to good to be true it probably is” doesn’t ALWAYS apply.

I wish I had seen this goupon to begin with! I am extremely jealous !!! But am also glad to hear you had a good time. This is a wicked story!
If you live near the Michigan border Brit and Nicki tickets are for sale over at Detroits groupon
Wow! Lucky you! I wouldve bought the tix anyways too. There was a recent deal in Vancouver for the Brintey Spears concert only it was .. ONE ticket. Like you wouldn’t be able to go with a friend cause then you’ll get separated. .. :-/
Good for you!That must’ve been fun!
wow amazing!!! I wish I saw this groupon– I would’ve definitely bought it! Lucky you 🙂
WOW! Good for you!!
Wow, good job and that was an awesome night out! So jealous that I don’t live near T.O. to take advantage of the deal.
Great story!!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I’m not a big fan of her
I went with my friend to the June 7th concert. Drake came out and sang the song with her, which was awesome. Other than that to be honest, Rihanna isn’t a good live performer. Her voice is good but she doesn’t move much. Britney Spears even dances better than her now. That’s really saying something…
Drake seems to come out to Tdot concerts alot, he came to Usher in Nov too.
We can’t forget that Britney completely lip syncs though, Rihanna was definitely singing BUT I have to agree, it wasn’t the best concert I’ve been to thats for sure.
Quite often though we excpet them to dance their socks off and seriously they give up the quality of voice for it. Look at Usher, the man can dance but and hour into the show you can tell in his voice hes absolutely exhausted. I’d kinda perfer if he danced a few then slowed the act down and just belted the songs out. I’ve seen him live 2 x in the past year (my man) lol.
Nice deal for you!!
Anyone into concerts check out Sarnia Bayfest!! 🙂
how did you get the 110 section!? im so jealous! i bought the same groupon and got the 321 section (which were great still). we even went to get the tickets early that day at 12pm.
We went in around 6 15pm….. I was told not to go until just before the show….
