Sorry, disagree with the article. Yea, there were "seats" available for hours, but the vast majority of the seats were gone in minutes and there were plenty available elsewhere quite quickly. What was left "for hours" were bits and pieces (mostly singles or horrible locations). There were 2 single seats available 4 days later so technically "seats were available for DAYS." LOL.
The only way to give residents a "fair chance" over outsiders is to sell Village residents (with their ID numbers) for the first 24 (or whatever) hours then open it up to the general public. We should be entitled to that. If the show was that much in demand it will still sell out after we get first dibs. That should apply to ANY event open to the general public that requires reserved seats. It still won't solve the problem 100% but will give residents a fighting chance.
