He cautioned concertgoers about ticket scalpers, who have been taking advantage of the high demand. Lee emphasized the importance of purchasing tickets through official channels, such as Ticketmaster or the Rush website.
“The resellers are having a field day out there, jacking up the prices, so just be aware of that,” he stated. With excitement building, fans are eager to secure their spots for what promises to be an unforgettable tour.
