San Diegans buy Elvis Presley tickets at the Sports Arena in 1976

March 28, 1976
Elvis Presley concert tickets on sale at the San Diego Sports Arena. The lines began the night before. The tickets for the April 24th concert cost $12.50 and some said scalpers turned around and sold them for $50. A bargain, right? TV 8’s Roberto Salinas interviewed excited fans in the parking lot.
Includes 1956 and 1970 file of Elvis concerts in San Diego.

Damn...if he asked those questions today he'd be in trouble....lol

[@jasminespencer3992]

Yeah very creepy

[@fusehenry]

Still love him. He's the reason I became a musician, and my dad worked on 5 of his movies and knew him. #kingofrockandroll

[@TheOpenSociety777]

Are you referring to the TV reporter?

[@fusehenry]

@@TheOpenSociety777 Are you really asking me that? When you read my comment and read the hash tag, do you think I'm referring to a reporter as the King of Rock and Roll? I'm talking about Elvis Presley.

[@CooManTunes]

The Elvis footage was spectacular. The fan interviews were weird.

[@cbs8sandiego]

Different times.

[@csand1063]

I thought the interviews were funny

[@lalad.934]

Ya different times and everyone seemed to be on something and that creepy ass reporter made me feel uncomfortable for that one female he was asking inappropriate questions about her fantasies on live TV 🤦

The 70's were some weird times 🤔But I remember my father telling me when he went to see Elvis at the sports arena in San Diego so it's cool to see this footage 😎

Better times 😊

Reporter today???

[@rosilenesousa361]

0:27 - Mom of Kilpatrick's family said all I would like to say! So sweet! She was almost the one person the interviewer didn't look offensive with. According to later reports, the show had at least 13.000 tickets sold.

[@METALFAN4EVS]

Do you fantasize about him? Do you tickle the bean for Elvis?

[@jonburrows2684]

O yeah she does.

On this date: Sunday March 28th, 1976 is only 1 week later after KPBS concluded the successful Festival '76 Membership Campaign from Sunday March 7th through Sunday March 21st, 1976, Join the Fabulous Celebration on Public TV!!

Elvis is timeless. Great footage but weird reporter... 🙈 #elvistheking

That reporter was creeping hard on those girls. Cringe over 9000

[@jonburrows2684]

I thought he was gonna ask her if she'd toot his flute and toss his salad if given the chance

[@lalad.934]

The 70's were a time of liberation and everyone was experimenting with drugs and talking feely about sex and it wasn't a taboo anymore... I believe that's when porn in public places was really popular and that reporter had a porn mustache... Respect for women went out the door during that time. But women were fighting for their rights and we still are and there are some creeps like that still around nowadays so times have not really changed much 🙄

[@melvis170w4]

Creepy reporter.... Would of loved to see more ELVIS footage & certainly less creepy questions from creepy reporter, who, IMO, was trying really really hard to be the flunkie fill in understudy to these young ladies fantasizing about Elvis. “Never ceases to amaze me, baby!” TCB⚡️TLC⚡️

[@daniella8400]

I would love to see these women today 😂😂 I know they’re cringing in a funny but good way

[@lalad.934]

This was about 46 years ago so the young ones are probably in their min 60's and the other older lady is probably in her 80's so could still be alive 🤷

[@daniella8400]

@@lalad.934 I never said they couldn’t be alive but ok

[@leodawn5913]

That was very cringey!!!! gross!! ”what kind of stuff did you image doing with Elvis Young lady?🤮

[@darkguardian1314]

If they knew how lucky they were to see Elvis last tour before dying a year later. 1976 was the Nation’s Bicentennial and I remember Red, White, and Blue everywhere. Like the 4th of July all year long. Guess San Diego wasn’t into the fad like the rest of the country. 🇺🇸

[@melvis170w4]

It looks like the reporter’s fan footage was from the parking lot. I don’t understand why you’re belittling San Diego because you didn’t see something in a short footage clip. In case you missed it, the footage was about ELVIS, dear. I really really doubt that San Diego didn’t celebrate the bicentennial year. But I actually think you have some hidden agenda behind your bizarre comment. “Never ceases to amaze me, baby!” TCB⚡️TLC⚡️

[@lalad.934]

Naw we here in SD aren't very patriotic like the rest of the country LoL 😜
