Though Avril Lavigne was the headliner, I attended this concert for Simple Plan and GOB, as I was fortunate enough to catch their show three weeks earlier in Philadelphia. I was looking forward to another night of high-energy Canadian Rock!
The Petersen Events Center is a brand-new, arena-sized venue located on the University of Pittsburgh campus. The crowd primarily consisted of 7-14 year-old fans (mostly female), accompanied by their mothers. The venue was full, but not sold out.
GOB started the night off with a high-energy performance that got the crowd jumping and screaming from the beginning. They tore through about 6 catchy, punk-pop flavored rock songs during their performance, performing tracks from their brand-new album, "Foot In Mouth Disease". Highlights included the infectious "Oh! Ellin!", the guitar-driven "Ming Tran" and their current Canadian Modern Rock chart-topping single "Give Up The Grudge". The 4-piece band is sure to be the "next big thing" in coming months - you heard it here, first.
MTV's TRL favorites Simple Plan took the stage next, and completely captivated the Pittsburgh audience. Performing to thousands of screaming fans, SP started their 45-minute set with the cheerfully self-abusing "God Must Hate Me", off of their debut CD, "No Pads, No Helmets..Just Balls". The band made sure the energy flowed through songs like "The Worst Day Ever", "You Don't Mean Anything To Me" and current single, "Addicted". The quintet took advantage of the large stage as they performed with intense, non-stop energy. SP's choreographed jumping, guitar-swinging, and synchronized spinning kept the audience glued to the front of the stage throughout the night. Drummer Chuck Comeau's playing was fast and furious during MTV favorite, "I'd Do Anything". Singer Pierre Bouvier played to the audience and pumped up the fans to an even higher level during an impromptu hip-hop medley featuring Eminem, 50 Cent and, yes, even Vanilla Ice (though the Iceman didn't translate as well to the younger crowd - boy, did I feel old!) Other songs included "One By One", "Perfect" and the crowd sing-along "I'm Just A Kid". Another great performance overall from Simple Plan, and, though I drove nearly 4 hours to see this show, it was certainly worth the trip.
Due to the fact that I chose to hang out with Simple Plan and their crew after their show, I was only able to hear part of Avril Lavigne's set from backstage. I honestly couldn't give you a solid review, but she opened her set with the popular "Sk8er Boi". I do remember hearing her murder Green Day's "Basketcase", though, and she performed "I'm With You" about 4 steps lower than the original recording. (I was wondering how she would be able to hit those ridiculously high notes every night, and I guess I got my answer.)

Buying Tickets: Note on ticket brokers, broker services, and their use. A ticket broker is a service that often has a variety of ways in obtaining tickets to events. Some brokers will purchase tickets from TicketMaster directly and sell them as a mark up as a service. It is more common that a broker will purchase tickets from season ticket holders to events, buy tickets that are left over and not used at venue at a discount, purchase tickets from event management and planers (i.e. maybe someone in the management office of a bowl game receives 100 tickets to the event and sells them to a ticket broker), etc. What is important to remember about a broker is they are in the strict business of supply and demand. What this means is that on occasion someone who buys from a ticket broker is very upset at the price they see on the ticket versus the price they paid. For example, a broker buys from a season ticket holder a ticket for $100 but only has a face value of $14.00. The broker can sell this ticket online or at their office for $120.00 making a $20.00 profit. If the buyer does not understand that a broker may be only making a small margin, or worse, at a loss due to the tickets not selling, some customers will go as far as calling the Better Business Bureau for example. ConcertTickets.com advocates educating the consumer on how ticket brokers work and operate. As a consumer, you do not have to buy from a ticket broker, however, they do often make for a very convenient service.
For example, there are some people who like to shop for broadway theater tickets at the last minute for events they want to attend. In some cases, if you are willing to wait for tickets to the very end, a ticket broker may be forced to unload their remaining tickets at a very large discount (i.e. if they are not used, there is no profit to be made). Some ticket brokers keep a list of people who may want to go to events at the last minute. This is another example of how you can use a broker to get really good deals.

Finding good front row seats, nice floor seats, awesome general admission tickets, and a quality and honest ticket broker online can be challenging. The idea of a broker being honest nice or good sounds like a conflict but it is not. Most brokers are honest about their mark up on tickets. It is all about supply and demand. If the demand is high, the broker is going to charge more, if the demand is low, they are going to charge less, and sometimes less than face value if they need to dump tickets quickly. Ticker brokers hold the risk in both cases. To be honest and ethical as a ticket broker has to do with getting your tickets in a timely manor and that you are not hit with any surprise fees. Many individuals focus on price as it relates to broker honesty or ethical behavior. Brokers have a mark up; sometimes substantial, that is their business. Most sell tickets but do not buy tickets. If you have tickets to sell (i.e. looking for someone to buy your tickets from you), you can click on the “Sell Tickets” link on the top of any page of this site. Selling tickets is easy by posting them with our selling partner. They can help you sell your conert tickets, sell your football and other sporting tickets or sell tickets to any commercial event.
