Lady Gaga fans irked as £80 UK gig tickets go for £1100

Tweet

Fuming fans hunting tickets for Lady Gaga’s sold-out UK dates ended up paying nearly 14 times the original value on a website owned by the official seller. Within 60 seconds of sales opening on Thursday, every ticket for the star’s Born This Way gigs had been sold on Ticketmaster

Fans were directed to the firm’s sister company, is a secondary ticket site Get Me In!, where tickets costing £80 on Ticketmaster were on offer at £1,100.

Customers angrily condemned the scandal, with ticket organisers poised to profit twice.

Darren Marsden, 44, logged on to Ticketmaster at the exact time sales began to buy tickets for his wife Michelle’s birthday, but it quickly became clear they were sold out and he was directed to the firm’s sister site.

“Ticketmaster having such a strong hold on event tickets is bordering on a monopoly. The governing bodies should look into how it is allowed to distribute tickets so unfairly,” the Sun quoted Company director Darren, of Bolton as saying.

Ticketmaster, the UK’s biggest ticket seller and an official outlet for Lady Gaga’s gigs in Manchester and London, takes a cut of about 10 percent from all tickets sold.

As owner of Get Me In! it also receives a second cut from re-sold tickets.

Get Me In! is supposed to sell tickets from fans who can no longer attend. But the fact tickets went on sale within minutes leaves that open to question — with many being sold by organised touts. They were going for an average £228.

“We never divert tickets allocated to it for sale at face value to Get Me In! Tickets on Get Me In! are listed by those who wish to re-sell tickets,” Ticketmaster said.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have gone to Jupiter, Florida for the weekend in order to celebrate the wedding of one of Justin’s friends — and we know where they are staying!

Justin, 18, and Selena, 19, checked into The Inn at Admiral’s Cove on April 14 — and it’s a private resort inside a super-exclusive gated community.

We’re sure they’re staying in the nicest room there: the Commodore Suite. HollywoodLife.com spoke EXCLUSIVELY with a source at the hotel who gave us the rundown on the amenities.

Justin and Selena are likely to be out of their room for the bulk of their stay, but they will be in luxury the whole time. The two-bedroom suite features a huge master room with a private bathroom. The smaller, adjacent bedroom has two queen beds as well as an additional bathroom. The living room is grand and balconies are peppered throughout the suite.

According to the hotel’s website, Justin and Selena can also look forward to quality comfort via a concierge service, marble tubs, a wet bar, and a 32” LCD HDTV flat screen television with DVD player — all for $585 dollars a night!

The reason they’re in Florida? They’re going to the wedding of Allison Kaye, who works as part of Justin’s production crew.

Britney Spears' Bra for Twister Dance Promo Pics Cost $20,000!

Tweet

That was no ordinary bra that Britney Spears wore during the photo shoot for Twister Dance. The limited edition, ‘Eternal Love’ racerback sports bra, constructed of French silk and nylon, that the pop starlet wore in the promos is decked out with Swarovski crystals and 18k gold hardware. It therefore came with a $20,000 price tag.

A $20,000 bra? Yep, you read right. While it’s nowhere near as bejeweled or as expensive as some of those Victoria’s Secret fashion show runway bras, which can top out at $1 million, it’s still pretty damn pricey. No wonder Brit was exposing the bra and showing off a little skin. With that steep cost, why not show it off? While Brit likely didn’t pay for the workout attire she wore in the shoot, it’s not as though she can’t afford it, especially if she nails down that massive deal with ‘X Factor,’ which has been in the works for months now!

US Weekly reports that the bra is part of a line of workout gear by BodyRock Sport, designed by Kelly Dooley.

While owning the same bra is likely out of the question for most of you, if you want to copy Brit’s look from the shoot, you actually can, since the rest of her look is much more affordable. She rocked the moto leggings in Jessica, which are only $99. What a bargain, comparatively speaking.
