$100K To See Billy Joel? - A Top Story This Week
02/23/08
.
$100K To See Billy Joel? was a top story on Tuesday. Here it is again: (Idolator) Billy Joel's July concert at Shea Stadium--the final musical event at the crumbling concrete behemoth--sold out in one hour on Saturday morning, although the ticketing system used to handle the show's ticket sales was apparently experiencing massive gridlock. (Shea's overlords eschewed Ticketmaster for in-house site 507tixx.com, which is named after the Mets' ticketing hotline.) As you might expect, the "secondary market" for these tickets is thriving, despite the tech snafus and speedy sellout; at present, there are 441 listings for tickets on the semi-legitimate scalping site StubHub, with the highest single-seat price $99,215. - more on this story
