Just got this notice...Tickets still $113.00-$831.00...(not that I am surprised).

Now the rest of Wall Street that got shut
out of Newark can go!!!

So happy for them!!!

I feel bad for the folks in the Hamptons...Brooklyn is still 100 miles away...All the private helicopters will get booked up straight away.

The Stones should play a pity gig out there for them...

Something's got to give.

This show takes place just three weeks after it goes on sale.

It shouldnt be anywhere near as hard a ticket to get as Newark for the simple reason that less scalpers (if they have any sense) are going to take a chance on re-selling an already extortionately priced ticket at such short notice, especially when there are about 5-8,000 Newark tickets still available for re-sale.

Another possible knock on effect should be that the arse will fall out of the secondary market for the Newark shows. They're already struggling to sell tickets above face value for the Newark and London gigs and now that there are suddnely 20,000 tickets up for grabs for a Saturday night show in New York, the asking prices for those Newark tickets may be about to plummet.

Not to mention how hard the area was hit with the hurricane and everybody is struggling to deal with that. Paying atronomical amounts for a rock show aren't as high a priority as getting your power back on.

I don't think the hurricane is going to prevent a lot of people from getting tickets. You no longer have to camp out for them. If it doesn't sell out in one minute, it will be two.

Surely there's a limit as to how stupid scalpers can be?

more stupid buyers. If you buy 10 or 20 pairs of great seats, and sell them for 23 times or more the face value, you can still eat half and make money... and you won't eat them, one way or another, the corruption is so entrenched, i'm sure there's buy backs, face value last minute sales, or even if you sell under face or whatever...

I listened to the Hooker and Heat album recently and John Lee Hooker said that if the label wants a triple album then it's going to be triple the money. Everyone in the studio got a laugh.

Fck Mick Jagger..what a twat. After reading this article on the pricing, fck him....he doesn't get a cut of the secondary market, so that's why tix are priced the way they are.

I'm more excited to see Phish in MSG at the end of December, at least their guitarist doesn't have someone filling in most of the parts. Oh no! not you again

Unfortunately they are literally the last row 1/2 way back on Keith's side. $177 with fees for last row, isn't that a kick in the ass.
