Andrea Bocelli, again!

Wendy and I saw Andrea Bocelli in concert, again.  First time was at Madison Square Gardens in NY, this time in downtown Hamilton. The newly-renovated TD Coliseum was a good venue, except for the minor issue that they sold tickets to seats that didn't exist. Ours!

We got to our assigned seats in row 1 of the upper balcony (section 215) in reasonable time. Little did we know that there actually was no row 1 (it started at row 2)! Apparently they decided not to install them. After some conversations with people looking confused and some staff who also looked confused, they took us to the box office to have them deal with it. The box office people eventually gave us (and many others) new tickets in a different zone (we got section 116, row 10). Turns out that they were far better seats than the original ones that didn't exist!

Overall, the concert was great. The seating issues were forgotten, but finding an Uber to get home - well, that took over 30 minutes!
