The best surprise


I just got trampled in a press scrum for legendary country singer Charley Pride, who came to Leduc all the way from Dallas just to present one of his biggest local fans, Jackie Sharp, with a front row ticket to his June 20 show at Jubilee Auditorium — and a cash refund for the exorbitant sum she originally paid for second-balcony tickets.

Sharp bought her tickets online from a scalper for $1,201 — $1,000 more than the face value of what the tickets should have cost her. Upset, her son wrote an email to Pride's management to alert them to the scalper situation. He never expected that Pride himself would get involved.

Her reaction when Pride walked through the door of the City Centre Mall to personally present her with an upgraded ticket was priceless — check the April 10 Rep for more!
