Hey that's a nice thing to be recognized for! Even if we don't win, the word of mouth likely helps market CN Centre and City in regards to attracting events.

Good work for CN Centre. The more venues they get the less money we lose.

Will the city pay my travel costs to attend?

I already have a spot in downtown Toronto booked.

"Good work for CN Centre. The more venues they get the less money we lose."

I am not sure why you would say that. If the guarantee gate to the touring producer and the cost of local staff is higher than the gate, the individual event looses money. Each event is a risk, unless the Centre run like a road house as rentals only.
