Twiggy (formerly of this board, now working with Sparks!) is urging likewise. Actually flight prices to NY aren't as bad as I thought... But I must adult.
Toronto presale was like "it's 10:01 and we have no tickets... no wait we have some for a measly $500 each (that's around 250 quid) for true fans like you, no wait here are some for $162 you filthy plebs, haha no sorry those are gone... [refresh, refresh, refresh...] ok fine, here, you can have some floor tickets for $125 a pop". Very stressful experience but it all worked out and super pumped to get to see them in such a small venue.

Those $500 would have been fine if the venue would allow entry to the floor section. Do true fans want to sit in a box? It was certainly stressful.
