The Organisers Elton John's first ever concert in Romania allowed hundreds of fans free tickets to fill up the stadium, saying that the star shouldn't
have to perform in a nearly empty venue. Organisers The Art Production
Foundation reportedly said they did not want to embarrass the pop star after
they had failed to sell the 15,000 tickets available for the date at the
Bucharest Cotroceni Stadium. It may have been billed as "the musical event
of the year in Romania", but most Romanians couldn't afford the ticket
prices that ranged in price from £11 to £80.
Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon. Keep reading for information and comments on this article, and add some feedback of your own!
