Not an Elton John fan? Not willing to pay $87 for a ticket? Apparently when negotiations between Elton John and Rapid City broke down because of date conflicts, Elton John moved on to Sioux Falls and Ozzy and Rob Zombie moved in. Also surprisingly, unlike what has been reported, Sioux Falls wasn’t Elton John’s first choice for a stop in South Dakota.

“(A Sioux Falls newspaper) made it sound like Sioux Falls stole the Elton John show from Rapid City,” Maliske explained. “But AEG made it clear they were only going to make one stop in the state and we were their first choice.

So the competition continues between our 2 largest cities. Many think that Sioux Falls won this when they landed Elton John, I personally think that Rapid City is getting the best end of this deal. 2 hard rockers for almost half the price? I might have to re-arrange my schedule to be in Rapid City on November 6th.
