My mother was visiting the excellent medical facility. I was just along for the ride (and to carry her luggage).
MADONNA , a devout follower of Kabbalah, is donating blocks of the best seats on her current concert tour to her fellow believers. But some of them are scalping the tickets to the highest bidders. And ticket buyers can deduct the cost from their taxes, the sellers promise.
Madonna supposedly donated 50 seats at each show to Kabbalah centers so that her co-religionists can come and see her for free, ensuring the front rows are filled with like-minded fans wearing red string bracelets.
But in Boston, the Kabbalah clique evidently preferred selling the tickets. Avner Madar, head of the Boston Kabbalah Center, put up an ad on craigslist.org, noting: "Madonna VIP Tickets $300-600 — Tax Deductible . . . VIP tickets, best seats in the house. "If you have been wanting to see this show, then this is THE WAY . . . All monies go to a non-profit foundation, and your donation is tax deductible. Enjoy the show with the best seats in the house, and get a tax write-off!" (Page Six)
