Deadmau5 has your back.

When you want to see the Mau5, he’s going to make it happen, and I don’t even think he professes to be the knight in shining armour. He was all set to play his “Unhooked” set at Montreal’s New City Gas as an early birthday celebration until his Reddit fans started complaining about the exorbitant ticket prices, which were fixed at $117. Joel, ever the gentleman, was as outraged as his fans and took it upon himself to remedy the borderline extortion. “Fuckin serious? this is how I end my year? dealing with promoters WAY overcharging for tickets to whats supposed to just be a simple / fun bday shindig? Okay. awesome. throw me under the fuckin bus, make me look like i’d have the fuckin BALLS to charge people 100+ after xmas and new years when everyones just SO LOADED with extra cash to throw around. brilliant.”

But that wasn’t all, a few days and a few phone calls later, fans were amazed to find the ticket prices had been brought down to $50 AND Deadmau5 would be playing 2 back to back shows. Talk about an early birthday gift!
