Tixflation 

The effect of resellers on ticket prices across Canada.

The term was coined by Coors Light, in a campaign to ‘Fix Tixflation’ and make concert experiences accessible again. The brand is rescuing overpriced and in-demand concert tickets from verified resellers and putting them back into the hands of Canadian music lovers coast to coast. Learn more at fixtixflation.ca

In a highly competitive resale market, caused by 'Tixflation', securing tickets has become out of reach for many Canadian music lovers.

As a result of 'Tixflation', Coors Light has found that 3 out of 4 Canadians 19+ agree it’s harder than ever to get concert tickets, while 60% believe they can’t even afford to see their favourite artists perform.

To combat 'Tixflation', Coors Light is offering fans a chance to get their hands on coveted tickets at fixtixflation.ca during select summer 2024 dates.

lost in textlation 

Literally, an SMS text message that is mistakenly interpreted by the recipient to mean something other then what the sender meant the message to convey. This is a common problem as the limitations of characters that fit into a standard SMS text message require the sender to abbreviate or otherwise cut out words making the message harder to understand, hence lost in textlation.

Any text can be misinterpreted as grammer is rarely used so even a simple text like:

A text that says "what are you doing?" could be interpreted by the recipient to mean what are they doing that very minute or it could be a critique from the sender asking the recipient what the hell they are doing, i.e. what's their problem. This rather simple example demonstrates lost in textlation.

When matters of relationships are discussed via text, that is where things can really become problematic.
