Only in the Hamptons: a $15,000 Rock Concert

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

There are many ways to spend $15,000: buy that new car, order a couture gown, snatch up 25 iPhones.

But for nearly 1,500 stinking rich music lovers, there was another option: Drop that 15 grand on a single ticket to the 2007 Hampton Social @ Ross concert series, which kicks off this weekend with a performance by Prince in ritzy East Hampton, N.Y.

For the exorbitant price tag, ticket buyers will get the chance to see Prince, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Billy Joel, James Taylor and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in separate shows during July and August in an "intimate" outdoor setting. Along with the music, attendees will enjoy extravagant side entertainment like art exhibits and magic by David Blaine.

While the experience may be worth it to those with cash to spare, many critics are questioning the lure of such an excessive event.

Oh, I am thinking nasty, terrible thoughts. Just terrible, dark thoughts about these swine.

Then, did you hear the one about the NYC-Hamptons helicopter traffic being so heavy that Schumer has called for new, tightly defined air corridors?

Fucking swine. People are losing jobs, homes and their health, while these swine party. :mad:

On edit: ain't a one of these clowns worthy to suck the stains out of GADemocrat's shorts. All of them do not add up to one of him.

3. I am sure...

That it has been proposed over Cosmopolitans at The Talk House.

2. I'm with ya. When do the rest of us say ENOUGH??

And shame on all of these musicians for taking part in such a crass display of wealth.

4. Don't blame the musos.

They are divesting these cretins of some of their money. That's fine by me.

I can't see Mike Campbell or Ben Tench actually looking forward to dealing with these vermin.

5. I guess that means I got a bargain when I paid only $5.00 to hear Don McLean

perform for World Hunger Year at Southampton College in 1975.

6. With the exception of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers...

I wouldn't watch any of these guys for free, much less pay 15 grand.

7. Must be a fund raiser so Billy Joel can price more people out of homes in N.Y.
