Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Bruce Springsteen Lead '12-12-12' Sandy Benefit Concert

The Who, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Jon Bon Jovi, Roger Waters will also perform

Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, the Who and Kanye West will lead an all-star concert to raise money for the Robin Hood Relief Fund to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy.

The show is set for December 12th at New York City's Madison Square Garden, and will also feature performances from Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Roger Waters and Alicia Keys, with more artists to be announced. 

The concert will be "a showcase of music royalty," James Dolan, John Sykes and Harvey Weinstein said in a statement. "The response from the entertainment community to help those most affected by Hurricane Sandy has been nothing short of astounding. We expect to announce additional legendary performers in the near future and we are confident that the event will ensure those in need will not be forgotten, and vital aid will be directed to rebuilding our communities along the East Coast."

Information regarding tickets and VIP packages, as well as details on a telecast of the event, will be released in the coming days via the "12-12-12" concert website.

:( I saw it in DC with my Dad in July... it was really great. He's old, but he is crazy-passionate, so maybe he'll return to the stage for another tour (or at least do one-time things like this!)

Or hey maybe lame-ass David Gilmour (marry me) will go back on tour. Or maybe they'll even stop being babies, make up, and tour!

I hope the money raised goes directly to helping the victims.

The money is going to the Relief Fund part of the Robin Hood Foundation. You can read about how they have already distributed $3 million (by the first week of November) at this link.

IDK who the fuck gets tickets for StubHub and TicketsNow and that shit, if it's scalpers or not, but that shit is MESSED UP. It makes it nearly impossible to get tickets without going through their sites. SMH.
kamikashi 19th-Nov-2012 12:58 am (UTC)
seriously! like stubhub will have exact tickets before its even on sale through ticketmaster/livenation so they have to be in cahoots.
__orangeglo 19th-Nov-2012 01:04 am (UTC)
And then they jack up the prices like crazy. Tried to get Maroon 5 tickets for MSG in February, the LOWEST price on StubHub is $96!!! And that's for legit the back back back row. And they're completely sold out on Ticketmaster. And that's for fucking Maroon 5!
judgmental 19th-Nov-2012 01:13 am (UTC)
Yeah I was lucky to get my Muse tickets at original price but they're right now reselling them for over 300, it's INSANE
__orangeglo 19th-Nov-2012 01:25 am (UTC)
It's insane! I tried getting tickets for my friend's bday to see Lady Gaga, figuring they'd be expensive, but once they sold out on Ticketmaster and made their way over to StubHub, they're being resold for thousaaaaaands!!
kamikashi 19th-Nov-2012 01:14 am (UTC)
wooow thats a lot for maroon 5! what was the original price? glad i saw them earlier on in berkeley a few years ago. if you are able to go like last minute, try facebook/craigslist basically the day of or before the concert. usually some late sales from regular fans who cant make it are desperate to sell at around face value.
__orangeglo 19th-Nov-2012 01:24 am (UTC)
I have no idea what the original price is, probably wouldn't know until after I bought them on StubHub and received the actual tickets. It's the worst thing ever, I don't understand how it's legal and okay.

That's why I have respect for Louis CK, he sells all of his tickets directly from his website so things like this DON'T happen and his fans can actually attend his shows.
kamikashi 19th-Nov-2012 02:10 am (UTC)
its crazy! we're screwed over online fees and then screwed over with scalped tickets.

and i just say louis ck this past week! really, he still made a lot of money so i would think a lot of the more well known acts would be able to do similar ticket sales like him.

and now im just thinking the scalped tickets for this 12-12-12 event is even worse since its supposed to be for charity :/
