February 1st...I still can't believe that next month I will be travelling to New York to attend Elton's birthday concert!!
The amazing build-up around this concert is beginning to show its negative side, with tickets on the first few rows of the front blocks being sold for prices as crazy as $6000 a ticket (not joking!!!). This price doesn't even guarantee that you are going to see Elton...on the contrary, you are going to be so close to the stage that you will hardly be able to see Elton's face behind the piano, because these tickets are not even on Elton's side of the stage!.
One could argue that there's much more to this concert than just seeing Elton play piano...well, to be honest I wouldn't mind a ticket there, but for $6000...no thanks! I would consider buying tickets on the front blocks for a bit more than face value, but this is ridiculous!! The best thing, I guess, will be to stick to my first-level-back-of-the-venue tickets and enjoy the show...I'm not sure I would be able to enjoy the show if I'd paid $6000 for a ticket...this would mean that every minute of the show would be worth... 35$!!!...and that's assuming the show went on for 180 min.
Assuming that we are going to see the show from behind, and knowing that the show is going to be filmed for posterity, one begins to wonder how to get the cameras attention, and there's no shortage of ideas when looking around the forums. Some fellow fans suggested dressing up as the Elton of the 70's...now I'd love that, and we'd sure capture the camera's attention...the only question is...where on earth does one buy that kind of clothes?! I have a yellow feather boa and a few accessories that are worth considering... ;) Any ideas will be welcome!
