The conspiracy theory continues, with Reuters' Felix Salmon back on the case of how LCD Soundsystem's final show at MSG got sold out impossibly fast. The short answer is: it didn't. The long answer can be found here, and we'll sum it all up for you below.
Who Really Screwed Over LCD Soundsystem Fans?
This Is Happening: LCD Soundsystem Ticketgeddon!
Last week LCD Soundsystem announced their last show ever, which will take place at Madison Square Garden on April 2nd. Tickets went on sale today, and as expected... it's an aggravating time for fans. A reader told us:
Did You And 21 Friends See The Nets Game For $2.42?
Apparently not, because the $.11 tickets on StubHub went unsold. The Times reports that a few $.25 tickets for last night's game set of a price war on the website, ending in 22 tickets available for a total of $2.42 (up to $12.37 with service fees). StubHub says the lowest ticket that sold was for $.48 and the average price was $18 for the matchup between the Eastern Conference's two worst teams. But all that should change when the Nets become the Brooklyn New Yorkers, since everyone will be willing to pay more for location.
StubHub Taunts Mets Fans With Playoff Tickets
Oh dear: The AP says that some folks received this email from StubHub: "Be there alongside your New York Mets as they chase baseball immortality. Go to StubHub, where you'll find a fantastic selection of tickets to every playoff game -- so you experience the championship chase live and in person." The ticketing company said, "This was due to an e-mail glitch. We regret the error and apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused."
