There's a Cost to being Cool

I'm sorry my fellow Winnipeggers to report that it does cost money to be cool. Since the Eagles were announced to play the MTS Centre, I've heard nothing but complaints about the cost of tickets - $90 up to $240 each. Not really being an Eagles fan, this seems like a lot of money, but to many of the fans who never would have thought they'd see the band back together again, let alone live in Winnipeg, I imagine this is peanuts when compared to the experience. For the record, if U2 announces they are coming, charge me what you will, just get them here.



For years we complained that the major headliners simply forgot to stop by Winnipeg on their way to Vancouver from Toronto. Now that they're willing to spend the night, we need to spend the bucks to keep them coming back. Elton John, Celine Dion, the Foo Fighters, Neil Diamond, Neil Young, Roger Waters the list goes on and on. (Vanilla Ice is also coming on New Year's Eve at Blush Ultraclub, but I didn't feel his name qualified for the previous list) The glass is not half empty Winnipeg.... hell it's damn near full. If we can lock in a new stadium, and keep our whine to the "bottled variety", we'll enjoy all the big names we've yet to lock in... who's on your wish list?
