The Undisputed Truth

Gone In 60 Seconds


October 30, 2007 | Tags: none

So apparently Jay-Z fans have an impeccable reaction time to things and their motor skills must be on point. On genetically altered point levels. The guy’s whole American Gangster tour sold out in sixty fucking seconds.

Sixty. Seconds.

A five city tour. Sold out.

Hell, the Chicago venue sold out in eight seconds. EIGHT SECONDS! If you so much as dialed a phone number wrong, or entered a verification code improperly, you were short. That’s like trying to call a radio station for tickets to the Scream tour for your daughter and actually being the 93rd caller. Hell, it probably took me 8 seconds or so to write that last sentence. It might have even taken you that long to read it if you read slowly. Now think that a whole show just sold out in the time you read that sentence or up to this point in this whole paragraph.

Insane.

Now this makes me wonder one of a few things about Hov’s fans…

1) They have entirely way too much time on their hands and were diligently waiting for the tickets to go on sale.

2) They’re on speed. Laced with caffeine. Laced with some Red Bull. Laced with some weird kind of tropical rainforest herb. You gotta have those Tasmanian Devil speed fingers to dial or click fast enough to get through the rush!

3) They’re making more money than me. If I had the loot to be dropping on shows like that, I might have been one of those caffeinated goons trying to get tickets in 8 seconds my damn self.

 

But as fast as the tickets sold out…they made it to eBay even faster. Yeah, that’s right folks – get your American Gangster tickets on eBay! I’ve seen prices ranging from one cent to $1,375 (not including shipping) as of 4:11am this morning. Gotta love the eBay generation. So don’t fret if you clicked the wrong button in your frenzy to get the tickets to the show nearest you, eBay always has your back.
