As Joel and Victoria Osteen get ready to launch their "America's Night of Hope" tour, ticket scalpers are in high gear.
The tour starts Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
On Thursday morning, two seats in the first row of the stadium's Delta Suite B were for sale on eBay and StubHub for $850 each.
In an effort to minimize ticket scalping, the Joel Osteen organization does not sell tickets in large blocks, Davis said.
On Thursday, Victoria Osteen was with a group of children at the Bronx Zoo as part of the project, David said. "Mentoring was the theme," she said. "We took about 300 kids from local schools and let them experience a fun day at the zoo."

Do away with the “problem” by not charging.
Billy Graham did just fine by just opening the gates and passing a bucket.
thats the difference between an evangelistic crusade and a show.

Nice to hear. I did not know that Billy Graham didn’t sell tickets to his events.
It rubs me the wrong way, to think that scalpers are making money off a religious event. Then again, apparently people are willing to pay.
This is a religious event?
Isn’t Joel Osteen a preacher or minister? I’m not really familiar with him, but thought he is a Christian minister? No?
But I guess if you preach the prosperity gospel it is just another way to ensure that you have your best life now.
Of course that is probably chump change compared to the take from books, t-shirts, ball caps and other trinkets being hawked to the gullible.
Name It and Claim It! Your Best Price Now!
There are people who would actually pay that much to go hear a watered-down version of Christianity from a prosperity-feel good preacher?
I don’t know. Is he? America’s Knight of Hope and change? I will have to check on this Olstien guy.
Are those plushy dolls back there?
It is a church where sin, Jesus, redemption are not preached. It is all about you having a nice life.
He is a cult leader. He doesn't preach the gospel at all. It is a new age "name it and claim it" message.
He has apparently “motivated” hundreds of thousands of people... to do what? Where are they? What great things have they done for this country?
‘pop’ religion
‘Humanity’ redeeming itself.
Make the Osteens filthy rich.
