Eagle Point-based Monster X Tours' performance sold out, but tickets were apparently still dispensed even after Compton Arena's 3,200-seat capacity was reached. Reports of fans skirting the gates and jumping fences prompted Jackson County Sheriff's deputies and Central Point police to respond. "It was a matter of (the promoters) overselling tickets," said Sgt. Jeremy Whipple of the Jackson County Sheriff's patrol. "No crimes occurred and there were no arrests made or anyone cited. We were just there to observe and make sure nothing happened." Tony Maderazzo, Monster X Tours' chief operating officer, declined comment Sunday, referring questions to Danny Torgerson, owner of Monster Truck Entertainment since June 2010. Torgerson did not immediately return a phone call or message on a social media site.  A Friday show and two Saturday shows were all sold out, according to the Jackson County Fairgrounds' Facebook page.   Popular Today Mail Tribune All-Star Basketball Classic starters ballot Special election: Jackson County voters OK marijuana tax Pot gardens may fail the sniff test Drug search warrant leads to two arrests 'Why?' still unknown in case of runaway teen Frohnmayer, 74, dies; tributes pour in Don't over-regulate backyard pot gardens Latest Photo Galleries home search Full Site video weather daily archive txt alerts about mobile website limelight deals jobs real estate © Copyright Local Media Group, Inc.
