Quebec City - Why not Grand Theatre?

I'd really appreciate knowing the seating plan for the pavillion where LC is playing. I have to say that I am a little disappointed that he isn't playing in the quaint confines of the Grand Theatre. I suspect a promoter is behind this disgrace.

The Pavillion de la Jeunesse seats somewhere around 5,000. The Salle Louis-Fréchette at the Grand Théâtre de Québec seats 1,812. For a man who recently lost nearly all his money and therefore has other concerns beyond whatever his own artistic feelings may be, it seems pretty clear that the Pavillion is the logical choice. And of course, Cohen's pocket isn't the only one concerned, the promoters don't work for free, nor do the members of his band, nor his manager and whomever else is involved. Additionally, money aside - if he were to play at the Grand Théâtre, that would be over 3,000 people unable to see him in concert.
