p2pnet news | music:- Celine Dion, a Cirque du Soleil troupe and other artists staged a free benefit concert at the Ste Justine Hospital in Montréal, Quebec, on Saturday, for staff and around 1,000 sick children and their families .

But two or three mean-minded individuals saw the show as a way to make some easy money.

Tickets were being offered for as much as $200 a pair on classified websites like Kijiji and Craigslist, says The Gazette.

“Some employees saw the ads and got in touch with management,” the story Ste Justine spokesperson Chantal Huot declaring. “They thought it was horrible.”

Only a few people were responsible, says the story and Huot said the hospital’s human resources department might look into the case.

And finding the sellers shouldn’t be hard

The online ads included seat numbers, adds The Gazette.
