I have no problem hooking up regular active members here with things and sometimes even people that are relocating. By you giving out the password, anyone in the fricken world can now buy tickets in the pre-sale and probably prevent me from bringing my friends to a concert or giving a gift to somebody close to me.

2)Umm no. I am not trying to make any money. I just want to be able to go to events in my fu*&^&# neighborhood without people like you taking away my chances to do so.

You are the one asking where you can UNLOAD tickets "IF" you lose your job sometime prior to the show. I call B.S. on you buddy.
Point #1 taken.

It looks like they are doing it again this year...

"Elton John and Billy Joel and the Dave Matthews Band will headline three more concerts this summer at Wrigley, thanks to an "exception" to the night-game ordinance that Ald. Tom Tunney (44th) plans to introduce at Wednesday's City Council meeting. "

I went to a Billy Joel/Elton John concert here in Boston some years ago...an amazing show that lasted almost 4 hours, with an intermission..certainly no skimping on the effort, and both were in top form....

I saw Elton John and Billy Joel in Madison at the Kohl Center in May 2009. Great show. Billy Joel and his musicians were especially top notch. They really seemed to be into the performance.
