 Can I get in on this scam?

HOLY SHIT

[ggw]

That isn't far off from what Stones' tickets are going for on eBay, and Cream is a lot rarer a show than the Stones.

[Sir HC]

But this is not the e-bay price.  So imagine what these would be on e-bay.

Those are broker prices, so it's essentially the same as eBay prices.

i always thought that broker prices were higher than ebay ... because lazy rich people go to broker's, so they can charge these lazy rich folks more than industrious people who create a market price on ebay ... if they're not charging more than ebay prices, then they should

Cream are one of the few 60s dino acts that I'd like to see, but not if the tickets will be at or near what the Stones are charging.... phooey on baby boomers who only go to three shows a year and can afford to pay those prices

They are roughly the same since brokers often list the stuff on eBay at the same inflated prices.  Just look up Stones or McCartney tickets.  All the high-priced ones have no bids on them because they are asking $2500-$3000.

I don't think the shows have even been announced yet, so, in theory, you would still have a chance to get tickets at face value when they go on sale.

[godsshoeshine]

when i first clicked, i thought those were the face values. yikes

[kosmo vinyl]

i realize that the face value will be lower, but will be they be $100 or less? above $100 and it's not worth it... would rather see Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce with another less well known guitar player....

FYI for those of you who want to see Cream live, for some reason, this is a post I got today from another group:
 
 From today's issue of Variety magazine:
 ---------
 Rhino Home Entertainment is unleashing a series of
 musical DVDs this fall. Oct. 4, it will release the
 two-disc "Cream Live" May 25 reunion concert at Royal
 Albert Hall in London...
 
 "The Ramones Video Box," with never-before-seen live
 and behind-the-scenes footage, and the 1977 "It's
 Alive" New Year's Eve concert at London's Rainbow
 Theater, will hit shelves Sept. 27.
 
 "The Concert for Bangladesh" will bow Oct. 25.
 ---------
 
 Related note, also via Variety:  Rhino (the record
 label) now officially takes the place of Warner
 Special Products as the keeper of the Warner Music
 vaults (they've been co-owned by WMG for a while now).
  So we should see more cool releases from the Warner
 Bros. / Reprise / Atlantic / Elektra / Asylum / Atco /
 Cotillion etc. etc. etc. group of labels.

god bless rhino ... that would be a fun place to work ...

I highly doubt it.  Maybe the nosebleed seats will be $89 before service charges.
