Sir Elton John is giving 2 concerts in our little neck of the woods!! September 26 and 27!  Fantastic news for his fans here. It's not everyday that we get the REALLY BIG acts--so it's cause for excitement in this little city! |

Congrats, Janice! Are you going to one - or both - of the concerts?

Here's the low-down.
First of all, I don't have a ticket.
The venue is small. For the 2 concerts there were a total of 23,000 tickets available and they were gone in an hour. Tens of thousands of people were all trying to do the same thing at the same time online--the website got over 1.2 million hits--
I think the smart ones were those who disregarded the appeal to buy online and went to the boxoffice. There were only 100 or so people there waiting 1 1/2 hours before tickets went on sale.
Scalping is alive and well though--lower bowl tickets ( $163 tax included ) were almost immediately available online for $450-500!
Crazy!!
