Bon Jovi's 'Free Show' Tickets; $1,500?
-
Artist:
Bon Jovi's concert in Central Park this Saturday is free. But that isn't stopping some scalpers from selling tickets for as much as $1,500 a pair, despite a stipulation they cannot be resold.
New York City has distributed 60,000 tickets, with each person limited to two freebies. The performance is billed as a prelude to the July 15th All-Star baseball game, which will highlight the final season at Yankee Stadium.
The New York Post reports that it found 267 listings for tickets on Ebay Monday. Prices ranged from 99 cents to $1,500 a pair.
For shame Bon Jovi fans, selling out your own.

Wow. Not even OneRepublic tickets could make me pay almost $2 grand to see them in concert. Even if I was desperate.
does that include air fare, hotel and per diems?
You didn't post the part where it says that eBay is apparently palnning to help New York buts ome of those bastards.
My dad once told me that at one time, when he was attending University of Illinois, the cops let out thew word that if you turned in a scalper, they'd make him give you your money back ... and you could keep the tix.
Ummmm...maybe to see Zeppelin or Floyd and if I could also afford my own PJ (private jet).
Maybe i'd try to come up with $1500 for a pair of tix if it was all four Beatles.
well said.
Very much so, because if I could ressurect John and George, I'd jump at the chance.
Doood! I'm so not there! Even for free!
It's high time that scalpers start paying us to take the tickets. This is a perfect time.
I like the way you think.
Who says you can't go home?
(for $1,500 that is)
;-)
The most horrifying thing here is that apparently there are people that would pay to see Bon Jovi, or pay 1,500$ to see Bon Jovi (supply and demand).
