Yes that's right, it's official. Elton John at the Sudbury Arena. Mom's hold on to your hearts!!! The whole town is aflutter with the news and rightly so. I can't say I'm a fan (although "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" is a tremendously great song) but I still love that he's coming. Big acts often mean other big acts and big acts often mean smaller acts too. All in all, more concerts lead to more concerts and that's nothing but a good thing. For those interested, tickets for the March 2nd show go on sale this Friday at 10am and they are a whopping $140. Check out http://www.greatersudbury.ca/ for tickets. Too rich for my blood I'm afraid. If the tickets were a bit cheaper I might consider going just for the sake of seeing him but I can't justify the ticket price this time around. Free tickets though? Now that's another story. I'd go see anyone if I had free tickets. Years ago a boyfriend and I went to see The Nylons at the Casino cuz someone gave us free tickets. That's right....The Nylons. It was everything you're probably guessing it was.

If I was up there, I'd consider trying to get tickets if I could be guaranteed to hear (a)Tiny Dancer, Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters, Levon and Ballad of a Well-Known Gun, and (b) no songs inspired by Disney characters or Marilyn Monroe/Princess Diana. Which, of course, would never happen.
But really, that's great news for the city. I'm sure it'll sell out in mere minutes and will surely bring some people into town from elsewhere. And you're right - hopefully it brings other good shows to town, both big and small.
Speaking of good shows, I'm not pleased that C'mon is playing the Townehouse again in April - on a Tuesday night!! Unfair.
