Would exchange your extra Radiohead ticket for one of these items?
Everyone in New York City wants one thing right now: Radiohead tickets. Which means the people holding them have become all powerful, at least for the next few days. One man with an extra posted to Craigslist saying he didn't want money, but rather "priceless heirlooms" and such. We asked this guy what's been offered to him so far, and below is his list:
- A college student: "5-year-old silver medallion necklace that I wear everywhere/Radiohead live in Germany 2001 vinyl/Auckland Blues Rugby Flag attained at original Auckland game."
- A Venue Organizer: "Admission to Universal Music 4-day private showcase on Hudson Street in mid-October, with free champagne/food, performances by Elvis Costello/Pete Townsend, and gift bags by Beats by Dr. Dre.

- An importer: "incredible wine from around the world, France Italy, Spain, Champaign, Cult Cali Cabs, Oregon Pinot, big bottles, magnums, or 30L”
