The sounds of NEVER ENOUGH are set to expand, with Turnstile announcing plans to extend their touring schedule into 2026 with a new North American leg. While this is exciting news for fans across the continent, the road to seeing the band may be complicated by some seriously confusing ticket pricing.
The central conflict emerging from these announcements isn’t just about concert dates; it’s about the wildly inconsistent cost of attending a show depending on where you are in the world. Fans who have enlisted in the Ticketmaster war have noticed a massive disparity between Canadian and US prices, leading to some truly exasperated commentary online.
Consider the stark difference between major markets. For instance, a single general admission ticket for Turnstile‘s performance at Woodbine Park in Toronto on September 12, 2026, is listed at $150 CAD. This figure has drawn considerable scrutiny from fans who recall previous local gigs being significantly less expensive.
To put that in perspective, the cost seems to shift dramatically based on location. While a show in Toronto commands $150 CAD, tickets for similar events appear much more accessible elsewhere. For example, the same tour leg in Portland, Maine, is listed at $93 USD (or approximately $132 CAD), and preliminary tickets for Miami, Florida, are listed at just $31 USD (about $29.82 CAD).
This disparity highlights a frustrating reality: while the touring logistics for bands like Turnstile can be incredibly steep, the actual cost for fans in local markets seems to inflate quickly into an astronomical figure.
The reaction from the fanbase reflects this frustration perfectly. One fan noted that $150 for a single ticket is “insane,” emphasizing the feeling of being priced out of enjoying live music in one’s own city. This sentiment suggests that even growing popularity doesn’t automatically translate into equitable pricing for everyone.
It is worth remembering that the economics of touring are complex, with bands needing to manage the costs of travel, logistics, and venue fees. However, regardless of these larger financial equations, the experience of watching a favorite band should ideally be accessible. Right now, the reality on the ground suggests a significant disconnect between international pricing structures and local fan budgets.
