 “On our website Nickelback is consistently the most requested band, and you may recall that Nickelback sold-out when they headlined the Atlantic Superstore Festival of Lights in 2003,” states Kim Green, CEO Tourism Charlottetown and the PEI Convention Partnership.  “Once again we are anticipating a sell out year, so we encourage people to get their tickets early to not be disappointed.”
