At about 12:50 p.m., the city’s Event Development officer, JP Desrosier came down the foyer to announce that the tickets for the Elton John concert at Credit Union place had been sold out.
He told the crowd, those left in line could leave their names on a call list for if tickets became available for the event.
The people still waiting in line for tickets groaned in disappointment as their opportunity to see the famed performer had become slim to none.
While some held faith and stuck in the line to get their name on the list, others left Credit Union Place upset.
Debbie Stewart was one of those leaving empty-handed.
“I’ve been in line since 6:45 this morning. I’m very disappointed”
Luke Schic, a life-long Elton John fan was another in the crowd without one of the coveted tickets.
“I feel really devastated, I can’t believe tickets are sold out already,” he said. “I got my name on the list which is good so if they give me a call I should be able to get a ticket.”
Guy Savoie arrived at 9 a.m., but said he should have arrived earlier.
“I’m very disappointed, I should have been here yesterday I guess,” he said. “If they would have had twice as much room for people they would have sold it out too.”
Tracy Brown was in the line up since 6 a.m., phoning for tickets and trying to buy them online with her Blackberry.
“Three people sat up there for ten minutes picking their seat,” she said. “It should’ve been a case of here’s your money and here’s my tickets and I randomly get tickets for the section I paid for.”
