Fans snapped up tickets this past weekend for the upcoming Juno Awards gala, with the Halifax show selling out in just 15 minutes.
On Saturday, 3,000 tickets for the April 2 show went on sale at 10 a.m. and were gone just 15 minutes later, a Juno organizer told CBC Arts Online.
The 35th annual Juno Awards gala will feature performances by British band Coldplay, Alberta rockers Nickelback, crooner Michael Bublé and indie acts Bedouin Soundclash and Broken Social Scene.However, with the awards gala approaching and the stage area being constructed at the Halifax Metro Centre, organizers say they should have some additional tickets to release a few days prior to the telecast.
Early bird tickets, which were offered for sale on Feb. 11, also went quickly, with all 500 snapped up that day. Bryan Adams, the newest inductee into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, will also take the stage.
The 3,500 seats sold over the past two weekends are located on the floor and in the Metro Centre’s upper bowl sections. Organizers are currently reserving more than 2,000 seats for members of the music industry, including artists, their families and other representatives.
Three days of Juno Awards celebrations will begin in Halifax on March 31, culminating in the awards telecast on April 2.
