Clap Your $$, Say Bling Bling
As everyone knows, the Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah concert at the Casbah on March 22nd sold out almost instantly. I've been checking out the ticket prices on Craigs List, and find that there is pretty constant stream of ruthless profiteering going on. The current high is two tickets selling for $120 a piece, or four times the original face value. People seem to be willing to pay high prices though, with wanted ads up for $80 and $60 per pair. CityBeat reports on the unique situation this show has caused for the Casbah management, who actually cancelled a block of tickets bought by out of state scalpers.
Other Sold Out Casbah shows below:
Other sold out shows at the Casbah may prove more attainable. This one seller may be disappointed to see that his asking price of $100 for two tickets to Bob Mould and Curt Kirkwood on 2/9 is undercut by someone selling them for $15. Also, STARS, performing on Sunday 2/12 is Sold Out, but tickets are only being solicited, not sold on Craigslist.
Comments
The best begging for clap your hands tickets i have seen on craigslist so far is this: "Does anyone have 2 tickets for CYHSY? I really want to see them play "Upon This Tidal Wave..." live." Clearly this guy deserves his tickets! (as do the rest of us in love with this song)
