And you thought Stones tickets were expensive!
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Let's hope "My Generation" is making some serious money.
Legendary rock band The Who will play its only U.S. performance this year at a charity dinner where tickets are $1,500 apiece, promoters said on Tuesday.
Tables run as high as $30,000, which include a seat with an honoree, promoters said. Honorees include former basketball star Magic Johnson, New York Yankees Manager Joe Torre, golf legend Arnold Palmer, former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason, rocker
Jon Bon Jovi and former ice hockey great Wayne Gretzky.
The June 13 concert at Gotham Hall will benefit Samsung's Four Seasons of Hope, an umbrella charity that donates money to children's organizations. The charity is sponsored by Samsung Electronics America, a subsidiary of
South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co .
Benefit tickets can run as high as these prices, industry experts said, but commercial concert ticket prices rarely reach such levels.
Prices for Rolling Stones tickets this summer are running as high as $450, while tickets to the 2001
Michael Jackson tribute concerts in Madison Square Garden reached as high as $2,500.
The Who's hits include "My Generation" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" and albums "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia."

Right, unlike Keith, Pete can indeed say "You can have the money, pal" and not be lying through his teeth, unless he's so much out of it that he doesn't realize what he's saying... |
