The fiasco occurred when city councillors and staff were allowed to purchase tickets before they went on sale to the general public.
The Sudbury Star reports that John's show was never in jeopardy despite the controversy.
Riley O'Connor, chairman of Live Nation Canada who is bringing the Piano Man into the Nickel city said that there is no doubt the show will go on despite city councillors' fears that the publicity will kill the show.
"They don't speak on my behalf, or represent anything that we do," he said.
"I don't negotiate with 'city officials,' whatever that means. I certainly wouldn't let a few politicians think they may or may not be justified in doing ... something," he told the Star.
O'Connor said Live Nation is excited to be bringing John to Sudbury despite the controversy.
