Was anyone successful w/ Eagles tix?

I would rather sit at home and listen to my vintage vinyl Eagles LP's than pay the prices for tickets to a live concert today. And I bet my records sound a hell of a lot better than any live "Eagles" concert could today.

SNAP!!!!

I consider it a success that I could not care less about paying for an overpriced nostalgia act.

Do you think the promotor figured out he wasn't selling the original tickets for a high enough price?

BOk employees did not get any advance purchase rights for this concert..

It's been a rather quiet evening and night here at the forum in regard to posts. I guess everyone was at The Eagles concert and then out and about afterwards?

All the 10PM newscasts said the show went off without a hitch, and that parking was not a huge problem.

That's what I heard and saw as well.  Now, wait for the naysayers in 3...2...1

Face it; the BOK Center will be a success this year.

Didn't go to the concert, but I was out and about before and after the concert downtown.

Parking was surprisingly cheap. A bunch of lots within a couple blocks were only $5. Some farther lots were $8. I know at least one lot that was less than two blocks away wasn't even anywhere near full right before the show. $10 for a spot a block away seems more than reasonable for an event of this magnitude.

People who complain about parking downtown must be mentally deficient. The last five times I've been to El Guapo's on weekend nights I've parked within 20 feet of the door for free. I laugh every time I pass those lonely parking attendants trying to get some sucker to pay $5 to park in the big lot at Second/Elgin.

More people with no clue how to drive (aka Tulsans) out and about downtown. Nearly got run over by someone who barely stopped at a red light, then nearly got run down by someone driving down the left side of a two-way street.

Definitely seemed a bit busier at the downtown bars. SoChey, McNellie's, Dirty's and the Cellar Dweller were all doing some good business.

Coney Island (with $5 parking) is now closed on Saturdays. At the rate they've been cutting back their hours, they'll be 11-2 M-F within two years.
