Ticket fiasco leaves Elton John fans in an uproar
Thursday, September 6 2007

Thousands of people were turned away empty-handed on September 5, 2007 when they tried to buy tickets to the September 28, 2007 Elton John concert in Missoula.

Tickets sold out in less than one hour. And according to on-scene reports, people who showed up to take part in a wrist-band lottery purchasing system, at four Missoula locations, were almost entirely left in the cold.

It's reported that not one person was able to buy tickets at the University Center on the UM campus. Similar reports came from other Missoula ticket venues.

It appears that almost all tickets to the concert were sold by telephone or over the Internet. And tickets to the Missoula concert are already selling at hugely inflated prices online, at sites like StubHub.com and eBay.

At UM's University Center, angry fans surrounded Adams Center director Mary Muse and demanded an explanation. People threw their wrist-bands at her, and campus police were called in to keep order.
