$1 for Coldplay Tickets??!
Filed Under Events, Industry News | Leave a Comment
That’s right. One Dollar! O-N-E effin dollar! Wait, Did I say ONE dollar? Just checkin.
Last-minute tickets to big acts like Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen are as little as $1! At least the bad economy has brought something good to music lovers. According to eBay Inc’s StubHub, the leading Internet ticket re-seller, last-minute concert ticket sales at sharply lower prices are on the rise for acts like Paul McCartney, Springsteen, Jonas Brothers, Coldplay, and U2. But this trend of lower resale ticket pricing is very variable. It’s almost like a stock market and a barometer for pricing city by city.
Pate said fans have already purchased tickets as low as $1 for Springsteen and Coldplay, $9 for Kenny Chesney and $10 for the Jonas Brothers this season, with tickets listing for as low as $16 for upcoming McCartney shows this weekend in Maryland.

Event: Record Store Day
Filed Under Events | Leave a Comment
The first event on the official Let Me See Your Package Calendar is Record Store Day, scheduled for Saturday, April 18th, 2009. This is the day to celebrate all that is great and unique about independent record stores. Here is a list of participating stores.
Many popular artists support the event, including John Mellencamp, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and Ben Harper. Quoth The Boss:
“I buy CDs all the time. I’ll go into a record store and just buy $500 worth of CDs. I will! I am singlehandedly supporting what’s left of the record business.
I hate to see record stores disappear, and I’m old-school in that I think you should pay for your music. But what my kids do is download a lot of things, pay for them, and then if they love something, they’ll get the CD. That may be the future.”
