Ticket scalpers cause Joel Osteen ticket prices to soar

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."

Pure Idolatry.

If the man gets people curious about Christ, isn’t that a positive?

Positive? But yes, any time the name of Jesus is used, God can use it but I think many of us are thinking Mary and Martha, choose the BETTER thing. There is something better than this. We are warned, there will be many false prophets.

False Prophet Alert.

Any Freeper who supports Osteen should be ashamed of themselves.

A counterfeit gospel is about as useful as a counterfeit currency.

And please stop using the word "judgmental". It's about as relevant as the race-card in a game of high stakes poker.

Its the Joel OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOsteen show!!!

That price would actually be four times more than the average Yankees ticket. Cheaper to see a Yankees game than to be in the presence of his “ministry”.

I wouldn’t pay a nickel to see any preacher or priest...
