When they bring in Dirk, Lerxt and the Professor, Amsoil will officially be a success.

I'll probably get the same time slot at some venue with no parking.

Hold me closer Tony Dasnza
I'll show you Who's The Boss tonight
You made my bed with sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Sorry IMHO it had to be posted.

Not excited.

@ hot shot: 

It couldn't hurt to invite him.

Who knows, he might just show up. Homegrown folk should at least let the promoters in on the HG secret ... might pay off, never know.

Someone should let him know about the festival. He can make a cameo with Phil Jents and perform Wake Up Wendy from South Park.

OMG, someone should invite him to Homegrown!!!! I remember the first time I saw Bruce -- in Chapel Hill and after most of the crowd had left after the show the band came back on and played some more, b/c Bruce said, otherwise they'd just be sitting in their hotel. Same with Elton John! He might want to make a surprise appearance somewhere and play a little more! Those juices are running after those shows, I am sure!

I think I may have to bare-knuckle fight that damn Michael Buble. I'm sick of him calling everyone 'kid'!

Does anyone ever come here and not complain?

Finally some big name acts are going to be coming here and people knock it.  Granted Buble is just a glorified coverband crooner, but Elton John is pretty big for the area.  I grew up with his modern music, which is ok, but the older stuff is timeless.  "Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters," "Goodybye Yellow Brick Road," "Tony Danza," and a ton of other tunes are some of the best songs ever written.  I am sure he is getting past his prime like someone else said, but hopefully it is just the beginning of exciting things to come!

So I go on "Ticketmaster Dot Com" - to buy 3 tickets at 10:00 a.m. but you can't.  You couldn't buy 1 or 2 or 3 tickets to Elton John via the net.

But ticket resale organizations like "gotthetix.com" or "ticketliquidator.com" or "arenaduluth.com" have ticket on the main floor that regularly would have sold for $127 plus tax/fees now on sale from $480.00 per seat to $820.00 per seat.

RIP OFF!

Wow, I lucked out. I do have a pretty fast internet connection, that may have helped. I went on at 10 am and tickets were not for sale yet for like another 3 minutes. I kept refreshing and refreshing the page and the instant the page pulled up with tickets for sale, I bought 2, no problem. I do have a Ticketmaster account, could that have made a difference?

Sorry for the people who weren't able to get tickets who tried. I heard from a friend the concert sold out in 45 minutes.

Thanks Bruce. I am officially pissed off for your sake. I just checked EBay. There are already a bunch of people reselling there at $400 a pop and up. It's a Friday show, so of course it's easier to unload tickets for a weekend event. Anyway, I checked the locations of some of the resellers on EBay. They live elsewhere, most I checked live in LA. So this is obviously what they do for a living. *That* ticks me off, that they would deprive locals of seeing the show. Of course, I've bought online from Ticketmasters concert tickets at shows in NYC and NJ, but I did so for my own use, not to resell.

Springsteen will drop tickets on Ticketmaster before shows. Fans know that when tickets go on sale and seemingly sell out right away, you still have a chance to nab tickets on TM if you keep your ear to the ground on the fan sites and/or check TM.
