"Rocket Man” Comes to Alaska
Elton John mania stormed into
I’m not going but it has been fun watching this phenomenon happen all over the city. This will be the biggest thing we've had here in recent memory and it started with people camping out for three days before tickets went on sale for the performance at the Sullivan Arena on May 28. The show is part of his 2008 tour, "Rocket Man: Number Ones."
I stopped off at one of the spots where local radio station Magic 98.9 KYMG was giving away tickets, today’s spot was the Muldoon GCI Cable store. As I waited the few minutes before the drawing for two seats one thing stood out to me . . . there was no one under 40 years old stopping by for the drawing. All of us ‘old farts’ were waiting . . . laughing at what the younger kids were missing.
Elton John, the British pop star is quite the draw with the concert being sold out in about 58 minutes, according to promoters. Several thousand people braved the ‘spring like’ conditions for a shot at the tickets and those lucky enough to order online quickly found out that it was worth the wait for a chance to see this live show.
