People can make screenshots or get in illegitimately (a friend giving another friend their account info to get in twice with the same legit ticket). Enough people do that and it becomes a venue capacity issue especially for a show that’s supposed to be sold out

Fans with tickets to Friday's launch of The Weeknd's After House 'til Dawn Tour at Toronto's Rogers Centre are wondering if the Rogers network outage will impact the concert.

"How are we going to show our barcode from our tickets at The Weeknd concert tonight … if Rogers is down? The app says no screen shots will be accepted," read a tweet from Trevor Gordon. Brian Clement shared: "I’m fairly certain the card reading machines vendors have at the dome for the Weeknd concert tonight would use the Rogers network. Seems like a problem!”

Rogers services have been down since early Friday morning, impacting not only internet and mobile but disabling Interac and other services. The company has not said when the problem will be fixed.

As of 4 p.m. there had been no official word from the venue or from the promoter, Live Nation Canada. (No one from Live Nation Canada responded to a query from iHeartRadio.ca). Ticketmaster, part of Live Nation, has also not made any announcement.

The Scotiabank Arena and Budweiser Stage, who are hosting Roger Waters and Keith Urban respectively, advised fans via Twitter to add their tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Pay "while connected to Wi-Fi in advance of arriving." Both venues urged fans to arrive early due to expected delays.

The Weeknd's concert is a big deal (according to Ticketmaster, capacity for his tour kick-off at Rogers Centre is 43,357) and fans have waited a long time (The Weeknd has not performed live in Canada since October 2017).
