Massey is a no-dog venue...

I'm sure any pet would appreciate being left home with a nice treat rather than being made to behave for hours in a place not meant for them.

Like RMD says - if a person brings a child to an event not geared for them and they start to cause any - and I mean ANY disturbance, then be ready to leave.

In May at the Kristofferson concert some folks found it endearing, Kris sort of put up with it but the child that was causing a fuss should have been out of that hall at first sqwack. The price of the ticket, cost of transportation to Toronto and a wait of 31 years to see him again meant I wasn't thrilled to have my evening filled with the wails of someone else's child. That child was there for their parents benefit only and many other concert-goers had a wonderful evening tainted with their selfishness.
I'm all for a well-behaved child attending ANY event....but hit the road when the behaving hits the fan.
For me I'd rather get a sitter and know I'm going to enjoy my evening uninterrupted and not face the possibility of having to leave an event due to a meltdown by Junior.
Junior can always be taken to an age-appropriate venue/concert another time and be allowed to be a kid without being threatened within an inch of his life to behave!
lol
I go to a Lightfoot concert for a stress-free evening...transported away for a few hours of bliss.....
