Pearl Jam: Wrigley's Quickest Ticket Sellout Ever
Tickets for this summer's Pearl Jam concert at Wrigley Field sold out faster than those for any other headliners in the venue's history, including Bruce Springsteen and Elton John, sources say.
If you weren't able to snag tickets to Pearl Jam's recently announced show at Wrigley Field over the weekend, you may be out of luck. That is, unless you want to fork over a pretty penny.
The band's July 19 show sold out in record time on Saturday, according to a Sun-Times Media report. Tickets disappeared faster than those for headliners including Paul McCartney, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen.
They are still available via resellers; though, buyers will likely pay a significant markup for them. Tickets originally ranged between $52 and $77 but those on StubHub Monday morning were priced between $250 and $2,666, the Huffington Post reports.
