IT’s called ‘scalping’ in the old days..............

A primary seat is bought by the person who will sit in that seat.

A resale seat would be from a person who bought seats (or a block of seats) hoping to re-sell them for a profit.

They used to be sold by scalpers. But scalping is now big business.

Madonna actually had a pretty nice run, about 10 years at the top, before she eventually faded.

She can give that charity.

She’ll be happy sitting next to me on my dilapidated couch watching the Weather Channel.

A lot of us feel that way. Used to be someone I really admired.

I really don’t think there are any acts other than the old standbys, like the Stones, U2, that could do stadium tours any more.

Once they stop touring, that’s pretty much going to be it.

Interesting. So one cannot “scalp” a primary seat? And the resale seats are sold with the knowledge they are being sold by scalpers?

Well even when the hits dry up, you can still make a lot of money being a nostalgia act.

Madonna’s records would generally sell big up to the early 90s.

Yep, it’s not easy anymore, even Woodstock II was a much smaller crowd.

The concert did not sell out, with 11,000 of the 55,600 tickets still available. Nonetheless, The Beatles made more money from their appearance than they had in 1965, receiving $189,000 – 65 per cent of the gross takings of $292,000. Curiously enough the second Shea Stadium concert had about 11,000 seats unsold.

From what I can tell, she has stayed neutral on political commentary, so while I don’t follow her music, I can at least give her kudos for that.

She’ll play Branson before she’s 30.

...

But it seemed like an eternity to me.
