Report: KISS Fans Wait In Line For Three Days For Concert Tickets

April 6, 2007

Scott Brand of SooEveningNews.com has issued the following report:

For one big night, it appears as though Detroit will temporarily lose its title as Sault Ste. Marie becomes "Rock City" on July 20 with the arrival of KISS.

From his place at the front of a rapidly growing line, 18-year-old Dalton MacFarlane of Desbarats, Ontario was rather chipper this morning despite being camped at this location since 4 p.m. Wednesday.

'I want to watch the show," he said of his strong desire to get tickets. "I've never seen KISS."

MacFarlane was accompanied by his 18-year-old cousin, Cody Hatten. The pair planned to buy somewhere around 14 tickets to take back to Desbarats for friends and family.

Despite his relative youth, MacFarlane has already taken in a lot of good rock shows — including the HEAVEN AND HELL and MEGADETH concert just last month at the Steelback Centre and other legendary acts such as MÖTLEY CRÜE, AEROSMITH, RATT and SKID ROW.

The wait for both of the teens had been a long one.

"We mostly try to sleep," said Hatten of the best way to pass the time.

Playing cards, it turns out, is forbidden outside of the formal gaming areas — a lesson MacFarlane and Hatten fortunately were not forced to learn the hard way.

"We almost got kicked out," said MacFarlane with a nervous laugh. "You can't have outside games."
