The Who announced that the last stop on their upcoming tour will be Providence RI. The last time they were suppose to play there was 1979. That show was cancelled by the mayor who feared a similar stampede as the one in Ohio that left 11 people dead.
If you still have your ticket and didn't get a refund, you can use that ticket to see The Who on February 26th. In 1979, the highest ticket price was $14. For the February show you're looking at a bit higher pricing at $57.50 to $127.50. Holding on to that ticket for 34 years garnered a $113.50 in value. If you redeem that 1979 ticket you will also be helping out a cause, as money will be donated to the Special Olympics of Rhode Island. I wonder how many people actually have those tickets and will anyone bother to redeem it?
In case you were wondering, for this North American tour, Roger, Pete and the gang are revisiting Quadrophenia. There is also a boxed set coming.
