(Starpulse) Sad Dionne Warwick felt she was still relevant enough to at least sell out a Marriott ballroom on inauguration night. In D.C. With Ludacris & T-Pain on the bill. Oddly, none of her psychic friends were able to see this coming   (starpulse.com) divider line 24

PoopStain: Who the fark is this woman kidding? Most people were overspending just to STAY in DC for the inauguration. Who the fark is going to drop almost 500 to see her and Ludacris?

Man. I'll admit, I actually LIKE Dionne Warwick (have some on my iPod) but... I don't think I've paid $450 for a ticket to ANYTHING in my entire lifetime.

I guess somebody was a heartbreaker. Or something.

Does that include speeding tickets?

Never had one, as I don't drive.

Though now that I think about it, if I count airline tickets then yeah I'm way over.

Ouch. That's gotta hurt.

I mean the price of the tickets and having to cancel because too few people were interested.

add to that this. tmz reported that the suites they're staying in go for 3k, and instead of being comped, dionne and ludacris now have to pay for their rooms

The event - which also featured an Urban Ball, headlined by rap stars Ludacris and T-Pain - has been called off after the $450 tickets failed to sell out, according to TMZ.com.

In addition to the $450 ticket price I would think that people who would enjoy Dionne Warwick (my age group) may not want to mix with the younger, rowdier crown that would enjoy Ludacris and T-Pain. I paid less (a LOT less) to see Sinatra with an all star entourage 20 years ago.

Oh, that REALLY hurts.

I happen to like Dionne and Ludacris, though I've had no exposure to T-Pain. Still, that has got to sting.

 
SpinStopper [TotalFark] 2009-01-21 12:50:53 AM  
Well, I just showed my idiocy. Ludacris is with T-Pain? I thought they were separate acts.

This - what an odd combination on a showbill and odd night to try and pull this off...

At points in the parade, Obama got out to show his face where the cheap seats were..... take a hint. Set low ticket prices. More can come.

Was there anyone who had a heart? I guess not.

Might as well get this out now, I can't feel sorry for peeps that can afford the 3k rooms they were supposed to be comped for.

after the $450 tickets failed to sell out

They seriously thought people would pay $450 a ticket for that show.

webspace.utexas.edu

That isn't a $450 type show, that is the type of show you get complimentary tickets to from a casino in Tunica Mississippi.

 
PresentCompanyExcluded 2009-01-21 08:11:27 PM  
Yeah, I'm out nine bills. Me and the wife.

/just farkin with ya

 
meowgret thatcher 2009-01-21 10:38:08 PM  
I think they wanted to make her over for the show, and she said 'don't'

 
Marla Singer's Laundry [TotalFark] 2009-01-21 11:35:20 PM  
For $450, I want to cower in a clawfoot tub while the artist poops on me.

The concert is irrelevant.
