There was no story, no theatrics. It really annoyed me that it was no better than a Saturday at WH. Act II can go to hell.

I totally agree with that, it's pretty audacious of them to hype this thing up to be something else than what it really was-a regular dj show with about 5 mins of webster hall stunts.

Still, there are so many pple on FB I see who didn't care about that, they loved it although it was just a regular show. Yeah, let's forget that it's actually called Cosmic Opera, tickets cost over 100 & the ad looks nothing like the event--'Axwell played man, it was great!' I know if I paid for an apple I'd want an apple not an orange.

Didn't initial tickets cost $75 and they basically cost that much because people resold them on Stub Hub, etc?

I have no idea..I actually found out about Cosmic Opera on the day of the event itself & that's when I snagged a $40 tkt on Stub Hub. I don't know what the initial prices were but I'll definitely be informed on that for Act 2.

Lol you got a steal then. I remember the show was originally only Friday and those tickets sold out in like 9 minutes, so they opened up a Thursday show too. The original Friday tickets went up on Stubhub right after and were selling for likje $100-250.

headline announced. fredde le grand.
