Elton John!! A classic eh? I have a greatest hits cd of him, and I’m not going to lie, I love it!! So it is really exciting that he is coming to the Kitchener Aud to perform. Unfortunately the tickets got sold out nearly immediately, and I had zero chance of getting any, so I won’t be going, but he’ll be so close it’s crazy.
People waited in line at the Aud to get tickets through a very cold night and many were even turned away. The people who did get tickets got a limit of six each.
The problem is that there has been a lot of drama lately about the city councillors getting a free ticket and a shot at tickets that weren’t available to the public. People are upset, because they feel that these officials should be waiting in line in the cold along with all the hardcore EJ fans! Is that right?
I think that’s part right, because the city councillors didn’t get a limit on the number of tickets they could buy, and some did buy many more than the public’s limit of six, but at the same time, that is part of the perk of working for city council. Everyone at their respective jobs get perks. Some, as my mom pointed out are teachers get snow days. This year alone they have gotten more than one full week off of school where they are getting paid. That’s not too shabby.
So is it really that big a deal that they get some tickets that we don’t? Don’t you think this thing got just a little bit blown out of porportion? I do.
