I guess that’s why they call it the blues
Finally a voice of reason in the whole Elton John ticket “fiasco”.
The media, most notably the Moncton Times and Transcript have been lamenting the past few days about the poor people who couldn’t buy tickets to John’s upcoming Maritime shows.
A tainted system is to blame for people not getting tickets, they cried.
Scalpers are to blame for them not getting tickets, they cried.
Finally fellow blogger Brian Cormier (who scored a couple of tickets on the Moncton ticket website) said exactly what the main problem was on CBC this morning. Elton John is popular and a lot of people want to go see his show. In fact more people than there are seats. Way more.
Elton John could fill the Magnetic Hill concert site with ease so there was no way a few venues with less than 10,000 seats each were going to be able to meet the demand.
To those who didn’t get a ticket, better luck next time. To the media, how about a few more Brian Cormiers stating the obvious. Might not be as sexy a story but it’s a lot more factual.
