Rock Legends to Play Obama Fundraiser

The Pennsylvania Campaign for Change has just announced a Monday, October 13 concert fundraiser to benefit Obama for America featuring many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and other American music icons. Additionally, the show will be a very large voter outreach opportunity for the Pennsylvania Obama campaign, which has already built the largest volunteer-based campaign in Pennsylvania’s history. The campaign has more than 70 field offices and thousands of volunteers preparing for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote operation.

Tickets will be available at 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 19, and are $50 for the general public and $30 for University Park students with a Pennsylvania State University ID. More ticket information is available online at:

Scalped ticket inflation.
Scalping front row tickets on eBay, now $799 and $599. In 2007 Pennsylvania's governor signed into law a bill that allows ticket scalping, removing an earlier 25% cap over face value on resales but requiring the reseller to give full refunds in the event of cancellation. The reseller (even if on internet) is required to have "a presence" in the state, so StubHub or whoever would have to open an office or something. Don't know how they'd catch somebody on eBay; even if the event is taking place in the state the seller and the buyer might be out of state and so no PA law would have been broken. Why'd they pick College Station anyway? PSU sucks. Pick a bigger venue, Obama likes the big crowds. Neyland Stadium, 100,000+. I doubt we'll get a tour, but maybe the soundboards will show up.

Woe is me
The wife was on board for this show, but the powers that be could not get me through to Ticketmaster fast enough. I got on ticketmasters website at 12:10 and couldn't get the ticket search to go through, until about 12:20 when I tried for a single ticket, and that was way up behind the stage. So, anyhow, hope maybe a summer tour will follow, and maybe it will be closer, and maybe just maybe I'll be able to get tickets. Have fun folks and be good.

News from the Bryce Jordan Center

Lots will open on SUNDAY! This should mean there will be a serious Shakedown street! On the ticket front: "Some patrons had attempted to purchase more than the limit of two tickets. If you had created a second account and purchased another set of tickets, you should have been notified by Ticketmaster that your order was cancelled and money was credited back to your charge card. In the event that you received tickets or TicketFast emails on a cancelled order, NOTE THAT THE BARCODE HAS BEEN INVALIDATED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING. Patrons with cancelled tickets will be denied entry and information will be provided for the PA State Attorney General’s Office in the event they need to file a complaint regarding any tickets purchased on the secondary market (StubHub, eBay, TicketNetwork, etc)."
