You are out of luck. All sales are final. That is the chance you take buying early. Now that being said if it was some great band that I really wanted to see I would buy tickets early. There was no way I was going to buy at the full price tickets to see these 90's bands. Even at the discounted rate it is overpriced lol.

To everyone whining and complaining about the injustice of paying full price instead of the sale price:  
 
Do you also call up the airline when you see a seat sale pop up for a flight you booked at double the sale rate? Or complain to the manager when the jeans you bought at the store for full price last month are now on sale for 70% off? What about grocery store sales?  
 
A sale is a sale. Been a concept for a long time without issue. Complain if you must, if you truly feel that you've suffered an injustice- just remember if you wait to buy for the next concert you want to go to, you may find yourself out of luck when it sells out before they drop ticket prices!

I have booked Westjet and vacation packages and if the price for the exact same package drops in price I call them. They give me the cheaper deal or vouchers for something. Any larger priced items if I am within the exchange period of usually 30 days I get the cheaper price.  
 
Now if bananas are 79 cents a pound and they say go on sale for 69 cents a pound I don't bother for a buck.  
 
But hey each to their own.....the cheaper tickets allow me to have drinks basically for free if you compare it to the full price tickets. Not a bad deal for half a dozen free drinks.

So how was the show and attendance?

It was pretty lame.  
I came in a little after it started. The sound was terrible. Whoever the sound guy was should be fired. The attendance if you put everyone in the seats on the floor the floor section would be filled and that was it. Turn out was very low. Each act maybe sang a couple of their songs then a lot of talking, more talking, little more talking, them maybe played another artist's song and sang to the words. I would really be choked if it was full price tickets. The building was friggin' hot. People were waving fans all over the place. I was expecting dancers to complement the artists but nope...just them. This would have gone well in something like Houstons or The 40.

It was a blast! Fishin Guy is right, it was soooo hot in there, but the keystone is a old rink and i expected that.  
 
everyone on the floor was going crazy and vanilla ice had like 30 people on stage with him from the floor! all-4-one was really good and vanilla ice too.  
 
my group had a great time, and by the looks of things, everyone else did too. maybe not the old old old crowd, but i dont think it was really for them.  
 
you missed out, especiially if you went in with lower expectations.

I have to agree with fishin guy, we paid full price and it was not worth the money. The sound was horrible, the show started at 7:30 and was done by 9:30 considering the gaps between each performance and the amount of talking it was sad. All 4 one was good when they were singing covers they were great, their own songs not so much. Vanilla Ice was the good, but again too much talking and not enough actual preforming. Would have been better suited for a venue like the 40 and I would not recommend to others.

I wasnt having too much fun until Vanilla Ice.  
 
I did enjoy when All 4 One sang I Swear, but Vanilla Ice was the kicker for me.  
 
Was on the floor in the middle, not too far away, and still had great view. I was worried that my view would be not great due to my height, but luckily the few older people in front of me stayed sitting lol.  
 
Love that he brought people on stage and that he didnt mind taking selfies with them when they kept sticking their phones in his face while he was singing.  
 
I also enjoyed seeing lots of younger kids in the audience!!

Hubby and I went only cause we were given tickets. It was okay for what it was. We are a little older so 90s music isn't exactly our thing but enjoyed Vanilla Ice. He's done well for himself for being a one hit wonder! I agree it was hot and the acoustics were pretty sad. I am glad I didn't actually pay money for a ticket but overall not a bad show. The turn out was a little low but then again support for most things that come to Brandon is poor. GetRec'd good job on the promotions.

Keep in mind the support for the concert may have been low due to the fair as well.  
 
People spend their money on the early bird passes, then the money for food and games. Sometimes not enough cash to do both.  
 
We opted to skip the fair for the concert, i find i spend too much at the fair.
