What they don't tell you is that if you had joined the Elton John fan club on his website for $40.00, you could have had your choice of tickets beginning on Thursday morning instead of Friday.

I'm going to give Elton a call, He won't put up with this BS and he'll probably stay and have another concert on Sunday, maybe hang around Y town and enjoy the scenery a bit. His next concert after this one isn't until May 29th so this is doable. As long as we have a bullet free zone in Y town, anyone?

Ticket Master = Live Nation... Live Nation = Crook Live Nation will be the death of concerts as we know them. Nothing wrong with selling tickets on-line, but a guaranteed % should go to the house hosting the venue. With live Nation you will never see this. Have to wonder how many of these tickets where guaranteed to the third party scalpers before they went on sale! Live Nations goal... to have a monopoly on the music industry, and they are well on their way! I applaud Eric Ryan and the staff of the Covelli Center for the great job bringing in fantastic shows to the Valley; but sometimes you have to be carefull not to let the fox into the henhouse!

I also was waiting at my computer at 9:30 am and at exactly 10:00am was attempting to get seats, no luck!!!! Not fair.... I am a loyal supporter of the Covelli and am extremely dissapointed that a loyer local can't get tickets but every online scalper already has them .... Covelli, thanks for supporting the community
