- 2:15Speaker 1: Oh, Arianna and us, Why don't we.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Just say it?
- 2:20Speaker 2: No, I think we need to tease it.
- 2:22Speaker 1: You want to tease a big deal. You have to
- 2:24Speaker 1: be listening.
- 2:25Speaker 4: We're supposed to tease, you know.
- 2:26Speaker 3: To find out what we're doing with Ariana Grande. So
- 2:32Speaker 3: I went number one in the ratings because we tease
- 2:34Speaker 3: so well. In fact, I got to tell you something.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Number one in the ratings. It's such a big deal.
- 2:40Speaker 3: The governor is calling into the show this morning, you know,
- 2:42Speaker 3: I had that thought. They showed her office reached out
- 2:45Speaker 3: to me yesterday she wants to come on. She's coming
- 2:47Speaker 3: on at a ten to talk about the new legislation
- 2:49Speaker 3: with the ticket prices and the gouging and all that stuff.
- 2:52Speaker 3: And my first thought was she must have saw the ratings.
- 2:54Speaker 3: So we were in meetings about that and then she
- 2:56Speaker 3: reached out.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I think that's the main reason she wanted to call.
- 2:59Speaker 3: And then the ticket legislation happened, which, by the way,
- 3:02Speaker 3: is a very cool thing.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Congrats to the governor for.
- 3:04Speaker 2: This huge she's leading the charge.
- 3:06Speaker 1: She's going after the scalpers, those creeps.
- 3:09Speaker 5: Maybe she'll make July seventeenth, the Billy and Lisa in
- 3:12Speaker 5: the Morning day, the official day.
- 3:15Speaker 2: You should ask her a proclamation.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Do you think she might.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Maybe swid ratings?
- 3:21Speaker 1: But listen up, the ratings just came in for last month.
- 3:25Speaker 1: We are number one. We just grabbed every key Democrat.
- 3:31Speaker 4: That's nice.
- 3:33Speaker 3: You know, our listeners know we never do that, right,
- 3:36Speaker 3: you know, we've done very well all along. But yeah,
- 3:39Speaker 3: you know, occasionally, you know, doesn't.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Hurt to mention the fact. Yeah we're number one, and
- 3:45Speaker 1: that feel good.
- 3:46Speaker 2: It feels great.

- 3:49Speaker 2: The adults too, men and women.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know the men. I like that. We

- 4:16Speaker 3: We have the talk back mafia.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Stop bragging.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Okay, that's the boss.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I don't think the Governor is aware of our dings
- 4:24Speaker 1: or Carol lest.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Theme the alert say stop bragging.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Well she is calling in that much. It's a very
- 4:34Speaker 1: busy woman.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Very well, she's on her way to Wooster because she's
- 4:38Speaker 4: doing their rename a bridge. Rename a bridge after Bob Coosey,

- 6:07Speaker 3: on Kiss, you send us a talkback much like this
- 6:09Speaker 3: one right here.
- 6:09Speaker 6: So if losing every single ticket Master war was an
- 6:12Speaker 6: Olympic sport, I'm pretty sure i'd have a Swarovsky in
- 6:16Speaker 6: crested come at this point. I've been a Ariana fan
- 6:21Speaker 6: for almost fifteen years, and somehow I've never been able
- 6:24Speaker 6: to go to a single concert. I would absolutely lose
- 6:28Speaker 6: my mind if I made it to a Turnal Sunshine
- 6:31Speaker 6: in Boston for any any show. Genuinely, as long as
- 6:34Speaker 6: I'm in the house, She's amazing and I'd be so happy.
- 6:37Speaker 2: I love that talkbacker. Yeah, I think that's a good one.

- 7:33Speaker 2: to Big Night Live.
- 7:35Speaker 4: Literally right next to the entrance to the garden the
- 7:38Speaker 4: escalators to the right.
- 7:39Speaker 3: And it's a very cool place. They've got video games
- 7:41Speaker 3: to play and all kinds of fun to be had.
- 7:43Speaker 3: But they also have really good food, really good food,
- 7:46Speaker 3: great pizza.
- 7:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:47Speaker 5: Right, So we'll be there live from five to seven,
- 7:49Speaker 5: so please come and say hello, yeah, and watch the broadcast.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Well, we did this with one of the Taylor Swift shows,
- 7:55Speaker 3: how at You let Stadium remember it, and we had
- 7:58Speaker 3: a lot of fun, and so did our listeners.
- 8:00Speaker 4: What we're doing is essentially taking the morning show and
- 8:03Speaker 4: putting it in the afternoon from five to seven.
- 8:05Speaker 3: There you go.
- 8:05Speaker 4: So that means some of our trademark segments, maybe a
- 8:08Speaker 4: report from Billy, a topic time, and we want you
- 8:11Speaker 4: to come, maybe we'll put you on the air. Yeah.
- 8:14Speaker 3: And by the way, Ariana Grande one of those shows
- 8:17Speaker 3: where tickets were resold and scalpers made a fortune and
- 8:20Speaker 3: people had to basically give their life savings to go
- 8:24Speaker 3: to see Ariana Grande. So the governor yesterday launched new
- 8:30Speaker 3: legislation and this is a very cool story. She's calling
- 8:33Speaker 3: it the Great Divide Act, which is basically an ode
- 8:38Speaker 3: to Noah con because from the beginning he's been fighting
- 8:42Speaker 3: for these resale He wants these resale things gone, and
- 8:44Speaker 3: these scalpers gone. So anyway, the governor had a press
- 8:48Speaker 3: conference yesterday and they hear some of what she said.
- 8:52Speaker 9: Our legislation is going to cap resale ticket prices and
- 8:55Speaker 9: fees for all concerts. We're saying that no concert can
- 8:59Speaker 9: be resold for more than one hundred and ten percent
- 9:03Speaker 9: of the face value that the original ticket price. So
- 9:06Speaker 9: those two hundred dollars Noah Con tickets can only be
- 9:10Speaker 9: sold for two hundred and twenty dollars now.
- 9:13Speaker 1: And this was very cool. Noah Con facetimed the press conference.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Here's a clip I.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Heard about what you're announcing today. I just wanted to
- 9:20Speaker 4: let you know how excited I am about it.
- 9:22Speaker 10: The artist comunity and fan greatly benefit from limiting tickets
- 9:25Speaker 10: to galping.
- 9:25Speaker 4: The sales of speculam tickets. I love my fans. I
- 9:27Speaker 4: don't want to take them over. I can if artists
- 9:29Speaker 4: alone could not tackle the market manipulation of secondary resellers.
- 9:32Speaker 1: So thank you so much for making this a priority
- 9:34Speaker 1: in Massachusetts.
- 9:35Speaker 4: I absolutely love them. With the dominland states have an
- 9:36Speaker 4: opportunity to leave the charge of this topic.
- 9:39Speaker 2: I love this so much. Yeah, for so many reasons.
- 9:42Speaker 4: It's so funny I watched the press conference, I'm like, wow,
- 9:45Speaker 4: that's cool. Literally minutes later, her office reached out to
- 9:48Speaker 4: me and said, the governor wants to come and talk
- 9:50Speaker 4: to Billy and Lisa.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Wow. She obviously heard about the ratings.
- 9:54Speaker 4: Maybe, but yeah, this is a big deal. Big deal
- 9:57Speaker 4: for a concert, sporting events all that Friday.
- 10:00Speaker 2: This is Kim huge. Congrats on being number one again.
- 10:04Speaker 1: I mean, come on, who could beat you?
- 10:06Speaker 3: Guys?
- 10:07Speaker 8: But if the governor is coming in to talk about
- 10:09Speaker 8: concert tickets anyway, you could ask her if I can
- 10:12Speaker 8: get any price adjustment on my Derek Coff tickets.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd appreciate that.
- 10:17Speaker 5: God, well, she spent a lot of money on Derrick
- 10:19Speaker 5: Coff's going to the Derrekff Show.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 10:23Speaker 3: I saw the promo yesterday and I had to laugh,
- 10:25Speaker 3: Like through the entire promo, which looks fabulous.
- 10:29Speaker 1: I mean, it's a giant production and I think it's
- 10:31Speaker 1: the Box Center Derek Coff and thanks.

- 10:38Speaker 3: all over the place and doing somersaults and got he

- 11:41Speaker 3: Wow, there you know, as heavy as this movie is,

- 12:01Speaker 4: one of the best movies definitely of the year. Yeah.
- 12:04Speaker 4: And also do you ever notice that Matt Damon always

- 12:10Speaker 4: I hadn't picked Oh yeah, Saving Private Ryan, Oh, Martian Elysium, Interstellar, Yeah, well,
- 12:17Speaker 4: marsh in The Odyssey, all of those movies. The main
- 12:22Speaker 4: plot of the film is him trying to get home.
- 12:25Speaker 1: This is amazing.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Yeah, the poor guy.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Wow.

- 12:45Speaker 3: But a crazy incident on the set of The Today
- 12:48Speaker 3: Show yesterday a guy crashed the set and lunged at
- 12:53Speaker 3: host to Craig Melvin.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Here's TMZ right here.
- 12:56Speaker 10: Scary incident and a lot of people at the Today
- 12:58Speaker 10: Show right now, I think, including Craig and others or
- 13:01Speaker 10: commanding answers, how did this happen? And how did somebody
- 13:04Speaker 10: seemingly get so far past security and get to an
- 13:08Speaker 10: area that really was it was a restricted area where
- 13:10Speaker 10: you would think you were safe, but obviously that wasn't
- 13:13Speaker 10: the case this morning for Craig Melbourne. So to directly
- 13:16Speaker 10: answer the question, it sounds like what was said was
- 13:18Speaker 10: the N word at Craig Melbourn as this guy, by
- 13:20Speaker 10: the way, tried to lunge at him. Is the way
- 13:22Speaker 10: the story has been now described to us.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Yeah, that security officer was fired.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Yeah. I was going to say, where are they working
- 13:28Speaker 1: this morning?
- 13:29Speaker 2: So they weren't watching?
- 13:30Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a very cool story. Do you remember
- 13:33Speaker 3: Adam Sandler officiated the Tailor and Travis wedding. Yes, he

- 13:43Speaker 3: Nantucket police asking if there was a place he could
- 13:46Speaker 3: go to play pickup basketball where kids or anybody play basketball.
- 13:50Speaker 1: This was his actual call to the police.
- 13:53Speaker 12: Hi, how I'm living your island?
- 13:56Speaker 6: Right?
- 13:56Speaker 13: Now, and I've wondered if you could answer a question
- 13:59Speaker 13: I play back there any outdoor court court people playing.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Yeah, they gave this, they gave him a spot, Yeah
- 14:05Speaker 2: they did.

- 15:18Speaker 3: to you by the ninety nine Restaurants. Lobster Lovers Weekend
- 15:21Speaker 3: is back at the ninety nine today through Sunday. You
- 15:23Speaker 3: can order their famous colossal or hot buttered lobster and
- 15:27Speaker 3: get a free three course meal upgrade the week This
- 15:30Speaker 3: weekend only you got to love the Nines in there
- 15:32Speaker 3: you go.
- 15:33Speaker 6: I think that Billy should buy tickets for Derek Huff
- 15:37Speaker 6: and gifts them to Lisa, because we know how much
- 15:40Speaker 6: Lisa loves Derek Huff.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 15:44Speaker 3: So in case you missed it, yesterday, the Governor mar
- 15:47Speaker 3: Heally held the press conference. She's going after the ticket scalpers,
- 15:51Speaker 3: the gougers. When you think of it, it's been a
- 15:53Speaker 3: really big story throughout sporting events and concerts. People giving
- 15:58Speaker 3: their life savings to see a concert.
- 16:00Speaker 5: They're completely shut out because they can't get the tickets
- 16:03Speaker 5: and they can't afford it.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's outrageous.
- 16:07Speaker 3: And it's really cool. At the press conference, it's called
- 16:10Speaker 3: the Great Divide Act. And she's taking her lead from
- 16:13Speaker 3: Noah Khan, because right from the get go, Noah Khan
- 16:17Speaker 3: has been fighting against the bots and the resale and
- 16:20Speaker 3: the scalpers and the gougers and everything a gainst. People
- 16:22Speaker 3: are paying not a contriction to go to even his show.
- 16:25Speaker 4: Right, but he now pretty s he can correct me
- 16:27Speaker 4: if I get this wrong. So he made the tickets.
- 16:30Speaker 4: His goal was to make them non transferable, so you
- 16:33Speaker 4: can only transfer them through ticket maths, to not resell them.
- 16:37Speaker 4: But then I was told that Massachusetts laws were different
- 16:40Speaker 4: and that you could sell them for more in Massachusetts.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Until now I think that's what she's changing. The governor's
- 16:47Speaker 3: locking it down. But by the way, Governor mar Heally
- 16:50Speaker 3: is no joke. It's calling in to the billion lease
- 16:52Speaker 3: of Morning Show. That's how important this is.
- 16:54Speaker 5: I know for Noah Khan, there was like a time
- 16:57Speaker 5: period you had to wait before tickets could go up
- 16:59Speaker 5: for sale, and then you know it was like the
- 17:02Speaker 5: day of or the day before.
- 17:04Speaker 2: I mean it was very close to concert time.
- 17:06Speaker 3: And it begs the question, what's the most any of
- 17:09Speaker 3: us has ever paid? Or our listeners, what's the most
- 17:12Speaker 3: you have paid for a concert or a sporting event
- 17:15Speaker 3: or a show of any kind?
- 17:17Speaker 1: Lisa, what you are?
- 17:17Speaker 5: Okay, So we know that I love Harry Styles and
- 17:20Speaker 5: Harry is doing a residency at Madison Square Garden.
- 17:22Speaker 2: And I did everything I possibly could to get in
- 17:26Speaker 2: on the ticket sale.
- 17:28Speaker 5: Like, I pre registered, I had my code, I was
- 17:31Speaker 5: on the computer, and I was completely shut out. I
- 17:33Speaker 5: was completely shut out every single wave of those ticket releases.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Okay, so I had to buy tickets. I had to
- 17:41Speaker 2: buy tickets on the you know.
- 17:44Speaker 1: The resale.
- 17:45Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to say, but it was more.
- 17:47Speaker 4: It was much more.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Oh god, Yeah, it's ridiculous.
- 17:50Speaker 4: It's insane.
- 17:50Speaker 3: Well do you remember, and I think it was around
- 17:52Speaker 3: the Harry Styles time there was a story that was
- 17:55Speaker 3: being floated that you could fly to see Harry Styles
- 17:59Speaker 3: in your get a hotel room, and go to the
- 18:02Speaker 3: concert for less money than it would cost you to
- 18:05Speaker 3: see Horry Styles in New York.
- 18:06Speaker 5: Okay, this I feel like this all started with the
- 18:08Speaker 5: RAS tour. Don't you think the Taylor Swift Eras tour?
- 18:11Speaker 4: Well, what you just said was that they were doing
- 18:13Speaker 4: that for Taylor as well. We were doing that for Tailor.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Maybe you could go to freaking Scotland and get a
- 18:18Speaker 5: super ticket price and have a trip or completely get away,
- 18:22Speaker 5: have it be less than what you would be paying
- 18:24Speaker 5: here at Gillette just to have a seat at the show.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Right right, Yeah, you know when I was at Noah Khan,
- 18:29Speaker 4: you know, I was in kind of a section that
- 18:31Speaker 4: was reserved for media and radio people, which was cool, right,
- 18:34Speaker 4: I'm very grateful for that. But I had a thought
- 18:37Speaker 4: looking at the people that were especially right up close
- 18:39Speaker 4: in the pit, right, how many of those people got
- 18:42Speaker 4: those tickets for the regular price or the scalped price.
- 18:46Speaker 4: It made having that thought, Yeah, yeah, these all resold tickets.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Well, what's the most you've ever paid for a ticket?
- 18:54Speaker 4: So the jay Z justin Timberlake show at Fenway, remember
- 18:57Speaker 4: that show? Oh yeah, yeah, I paid a thousand dollars
- 19:00Speaker 4: for two tickets, So five hundred dollars a ticket. That's
- 19:02Speaker 4: probably the most I've ever spent because that.
- 19:04Speaker 2: It's actually a lot back then, because that was a
- 19:05Speaker 2: while ago.
- 19:06Speaker 4: And then I was very very close, very close to
- 19:09Speaker 4: buying tickets to the Jay z Yankee stadium shows. Oh,
- 19:12Speaker 4: this past weekend. But you're talking to three thousand dollars.
- 19:16Speaker 2: That's great.
- 19:17Speaker 4: I mean I was looking at prices for Ariana's shows
- 19:19Speaker 4: next week, which are all sold out. I mean to
- 19:21Speaker 4: sit and Lows, you're looking at one thy, twelve hundred
- 19:25Speaker 4: up front, you're looking at two three thousand.
- 19:27Speaker 3: By the way, it's not just the concerts. Remember the
- 19:29Speaker 3: NBA the playoffs. What people were paying for tickets? Court
- 19:32Speaker 3: side tickets?
- 19:33Speaker 4: Oh the highest ticket at the Knixt courtside of Madison Square.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Was it a ten grand or something?
- 19:37Speaker 4: Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?
- 19:39Speaker 2: Oh my god, someone paid for one time outageous.
- 19:42Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's pretty insane, you know, And that's why,
- 19:45Speaker 4: you know, that's why we do contests, like you know,
- 19:48Speaker 4: calling contests, but also talk back for tickets like Rianna
- 19:51Speaker 4: right now, because we are a radio station, we give
- 19:53Speaker 4: out tickets. So that also makes it that more important,
- 19:56Speaker 4: you know, because it is hard to get tickets.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Yeah, Riley, if you ever and scalp for ticket, you
- 20:01Speaker 1: go to a lot of shows.
- 20:02Speaker 12: I do.
- 20:02Speaker 5: I try to give myself a cap unless it's somebody
- 20:05Speaker 5: that I like, really really like, but I think the
- 20:07Speaker 5: most I've paid is like three hundred bucks for like
- 20:09Speaker 5: one day of a festival, which.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Is not as much as what Justin spent.
- 20:14Speaker 3: But that is a lie.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Yeah, what was the regular price?
- 20:18Speaker 3: That's what it was.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Actually, it wasn't research.
- 20:20Speaker 1: So I just bought a flat. Okay, so you weren't scalped.
- 20:23Speaker 1: You just bought a ticket.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Yeah, and I tried to cap myself for like one
- 20:25Speaker 2: hundred bucks.
- 20:27Speaker 1: The hundred bucks and with fees too, that's like not
- 20:30Speaker 1: that much.
- 20:30Speaker 2: That's like in the balcony for some shows.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And again Sam goes for sporting events and
- 20:35Speaker 3: like NFL games, big NFL games. What do you think
- 20:38Speaker 3: they're paying for Super Bowl tickets these days? On the
- 20:40Speaker 3: resale market, I have to sell.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Say, the best value out there right now is Lisa's
- 20:44Speaker 2: book Club.
- 20:48Speaker 1: It's free or get hold you buy the.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Book for like thirty bucks. I'm telling you, it's the
- 20:53Speaker 2: best deal out there.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Wow, it's really gotten out of reach for most people. Really,
- 20:59Speaker 3: that's why you said it yourself. You know, we do
- 21:01Speaker 3: so many ticket giveaways. That's a big help to a
- 21:03Speaker 3: lot of people we really want. Ariana Grande is one
- 21:05Speaker 3: of the biggest shows on Earth right now. Yeah, and
- 21:08Speaker 3: we're doing telling out.
- 21:09Speaker 10: We are.
- 21:10Speaker 4: We do have tickets we are giving away and again,
- 21:12Speaker 4: if you want to win those tickets, talk back for
- 21:14Speaker 4: Ariana tickets. Every time you hear Ariana played on Kiss
- 21:17Speaker 4: one await and you have to be listening on the
- 21:18Speaker 4: iHeart app. Just leave a talkback. That's it, That's all
- 21:21Speaker 4: you have to do. We're giving out tickets, blowing out
- 21:23Speaker 4: tickets all the way up until showtime next weekend.
- 21:25Speaker 3: But in the meantime, give us your ticket Nightmare stories.
- 21:28Speaker 3: I don't care if it's a game, a sporting event,
- 21:31Speaker 3: world Cup, same thing.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Yeah, and again and again more. Hilly just announced this
- 21:36Speaker 4: new legislation yesterday and she'll be on the show at
- 21:38Speaker 4: eight ten. That's why we're talking about.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Then right now. We want to hear from the listeners,
- 21:42Speaker 1: So send us the talkbacks right now. How do they
- 21:44Speaker 1: do that? We get new listeners all the time.
- 21:45Speaker 4: Every day, same as a talkback for tickets. Just download

- 21:56Speaker 1: one seven one.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Let's go here.
- 21:58Speaker 6: We go.
- 22:00Speaker 5: It's Topic Time with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 22:04Speaker 3: The topic Time presented by Catches Law Group, the personal
- 22:07Speaker 3: injury experts It catches law dot com. If you've been
- 22:10Speaker 3: injured on the job, no fault at all of your own,
- 22:13Speaker 3: you can actually get a free consult at catcheslaw dot com.
- 22:17Speaker 3: So there's a really big story. It affects us here
- 22:19Speaker 3: at Kiss Runawait and has for a long time. The
- 22:21Speaker 3: ticket's skelping, whether it's sporting events, whether it's concerts. People
- 22:24Speaker 3: are paying through the nose on the resale market. And finally,
- 22:29Speaker 3: yesterday Governor Maurrayhally stepped in. She's coming out with a
- 22:33Speaker 3: great divide act. It's kind of teaming up with noahcon
- 22:35Speaker 3: It's a really cool thing. Her goal, her mission is
- 22:39Speaker 3: to get tickets back to one normal price and stop
- 22:41Speaker 3: the madnets out there. Everyone. Yeah, and she's calling in
- 22:44Speaker 3: to the billion Resent Morning Show at a ten this morning.
- 22:47Speaker 3: So we're wondering, what's the most you have ever paid
- 22:49Speaker 3: for a ticket, whether it's a sporting event or a concert.
- 22:51Speaker 3: And of course we're reaching out to our listeners. Let's
- 22:53Speaker 3: go to the phones. Chris is in Hudson, Hello, Chris.
- 22:58Speaker 12: Hey, guys, Hey, guys. So back in twenty fourteen, when
- 23:02Speaker 12: the Patriots were playing the Seahawks of the Super Bowl,
- 23:04Speaker 12: I had planned to go into that Super Bowl the
- 23:07Speaker 12: whole year. I saved up the money and I had
- 23:10Speaker 12: five thousand dollars set aside. Thinking back to then, you
- 23:12Speaker 12: could get into a Super Bowl for right around like
- 23:14Speaker 12: two thousand dollars around twenty fourteen. But so I was
- 23:18Speaker 12: out in Arizona, I had my hotel, everything else set up,
- 23:22Speaker 12: and something went wonky with the ticket Maac market. There
- 23:25Speaker 12: was a shortage. They were going up to like ten
- 23:27Speaker 12: thousand dollars, and it was just like I wasn't even
- 23:30Speaker 12: close to it. I wasn't even relatively close to be
- 23:32Speaker 12: to buy a ticket even with the five thousand dollars.
- 23:34Speaker 12: So I put an ad on Craigslist out of all places,
- 23:37Speaker 12: just like clean for like somebody to help me give
- 23:41Speaker 12: me a ticket for five thousand dollars. So somebody responds,
- 23:44Speaker 12: and of course I'm not very trusting of what's about
- 23:47Speaker 12: to happen, but I was like, I got to try it. So,
- 23:50Speaker 12: I mean, I go to this hotel and it's a
- 23:52Speaker 12: super fancy hotel. I walk right in and out of
- 23:56Speaker 12: Hiwie Mandels are randomly there, and yeah, part of this,
- 24:03Speaker 12: it's a weird part of the story. It doesn't really
- 24:05Speaker 12: impact it much. So I'm sitting at the table and
- 24:08Speaker 12: waiting for this guy and it comes over and a
- 24:10Speaker 12: very normal guy and he actually sold me. He worked
- 24:13Speaker 12: for that. It was in Houston, Okay, Harry, get to this.
- 24:17Speaker 1: He had the ticket, gave me, he gave.
- 24:18Speaker 12: Me the He gave me the ticket for face value,
- 24:21Speaker 12: and which is eighteen hundred dollars. And he weirdly went
- 24:26Speaker 12: and lived and grew up a mass Patriots fan, worked
- 24:28Speaker 12: at the stadium. So he did a good need and
- 24:31Speaker 12: I got to go to the game man profit extra money.
- 24:33Speaker 2: I have the extra money for Oh that's such a
- 24:34Speaker 2: great I was going to ask.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Did he then turn around and resell?
- 24:38Speaker 4: Yeah, good for you, Chris, stop bragging.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Story.
- 24:46Speaker 4: What was Howie Mandel doing?
- 24:47Speaker 13: Then?
- 24:48Speaker 3: It was so random, wasn't it. I walked in and
- 24:51Speaker 3: Howie Mandel was in the lobby. I thought I was
- 24:53Speaker 3: gonna say he tried to shake his hand, never shake
- 24:56Speaker 3: never never know. We just played Taylor Swift and obviously
- 24:59Speaker 3: I think think Lisa is right on this. It seems
- 25:01Speaker 3: like it really ramped up the reselling with Taylor Swift.
- 25:04Speaker 3: I mean, how much money were people spending all God?
- 25:08Speaker 14: Hey guys, so I paid a lot a lot of
- 25:10Speaker 14: money to see Taylor Swift in Miami. So maybe a
- 25:14Speaker 14: silly question. But with this new lot, even though I'm
- 25:16Speaker 14: buying the tickets in Massachusetts and going to Miami in
- 25:20Speaker 14: a future concert or something, does it still stop the
- 25:25Speaker 14: resellers because I'm buying it in Massachusetts Or does a
- 25:28Speaker 14: concert have to be in Massachusetts?
- 25:30Speaker 4: That's a good question for Laura Healey. Yeah, she's going
- 25:33Speaker 4: to be on the show, this show right here.
- 25:34Speaker 3: Eight ten, so her new bill does it only affect
- 25:37Speaker 3: shows in Massachusetts?
- 25:38Speaker 4: That's our league question. If you live here and buy
- 25:41Speaker 4: tickets for a show elsewhere, you.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Know, does it because you're a Massachusetts resident?
- 25:46Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah.
- 25:47Speaker 15: The most money I ever spent on tickets for a
- 25:49Speaker 15: concert was Taylor Swift the Aras Tour, and I spent
- 25:52Speaker 15: about eleven hundred dollars per ticket. It was disgusting, but
- 25:57Speaker 15: the kids were happy, and I guess that's all that matters.
- 26:00Speaker 3: Great day, you know, we talked about that earlier. I
- 26:02Speaker 3: think it was the Taylor the eras tour. The people
- 26:05Speaker 3: talking about I could get plane fair, a hotel room,
- 26:08Speaker 3: and a ticket for Taylor overseas for the same price
- 26:10Speaker 3: as a ticket alone.
- 26:11Speaker 5: Here we were lucky because we got floor seats, remember
- 26:14Speaker 5: through your contact at face value?
- 26:16Speaker 2: Oh right, for the aerostour, we were lucky.
- 26:20Speaker 4: Yeah, you were lucky, you know what least you know what?
- 26:23Speaker 1: Stop bragging.
- 26:26Speaker 3: No, that was like the one time it actually worked.
- 26:28Speaker 4: Out for us. Oh yeah, So you know who pays
- 26:30Speaker 4: resell has several times my wife for post malone. She's
- 26:34Speaker 4: a huge post malone fan, and she does that. It's
- 26:37Speaker 4: her toxic trait. The after pay. Oh yeah, so she
- 26:42Speaker 4: does after pay. So it's basically like you know, you
- 26:44Speaker 4: pay it over time with no interest.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 26:47Speaker 4: Oh, so she's paid a lot of money because you know,
- 26:50Speaker 4: I work at a radio station, but I can't always
- 26:51Speaker 4: get tickets and she wants, you know, close seats. So
- 26:54Speaker 4: she has bought tickets to the last few shows at
- 26:57Speaker 4: a lot of money, but used after pay.
- 26:59Speaker 1: It's like a STU.
- 27:00Speaker 2: And no, it's like it's like layaway.
- 27:03Speaker 4: No, I think she just the last one off. Yeah,
- 27:06Speaker 4: and it was a year ago.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Oh, hadn't pay any interest?
- 27:09Speaker 4: No, interest.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Oh well then all right, Well what's the one she
- 27:11Speaker 1: went to just recently for the pit.
- 27:13Speaker 4: That was post malone? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, she camped out
- 27:16Speaker 4: at Fenway all day long. She's a crazy person. Yeah.
- 27:19Speaker 15: Last time Sabena Carpenter was on tour, I spent about
- 27:23Speaker 15: eight hundred and thirty.
- 27:25Speaker 16: Dollars to be in one of the very last rows
- 27:28Speaker 16: a TD Garden.
- 27:29Speaker 2: But I was still in the building, so it was okay, yep.
- 27:33Speaker 4: Whilst once I guess, once you're there, it makes it
- 27:36Speaker 4: all worth it.
- 27:37Speaker 3: It hurts the pay, yes, because regardless of where you're sitting,
- 27:41Speaker 3: typically it's still kind of a festive atmosphere really, you know,
- 27:44Speaker 3: and you're in the building, like she just.
- 27:46Speaker 4: Said, Yeah, I'm looking at balcony seats for Ariana right
- 27:49Speaker 4: now on the resale market. They're about six to eight
- 27:51Speaker 4: hundred bucks.
- 27:52Speaker 1: So that's way of nosebleedout, no balcony.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:56Speaker 13: I went to go see Lady Gaga in Miami and
- 27:58Speaker 13: me and my brother Cold we're looking at the tickets
- 28:01Speaker 13: the day before and they were like fifteen hundred dollars,
- 28:04Speaker 13: and then we decided to just buy the tickets like
- 28:07Speaker 13: an hour before the concert. We ended up getting them
- 28:09Speaker 13: for eight hundred. Boyd what a steal.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Oh you're almost crazy not to be listening to Kiss.
- 28:16Speaker 3: I want to wait all day and all night, right
- 28:18Speaker 3: because you get them free.
- 28:19Speaker 2: Yeah, we have Ariana Grandee tickets.
- 28:21Speaker 4: Yes, well we did it with Mila Khan. We did
- 28:24Speaker 4: the talkback for tickets was a huge hit, so we're
- 28:27Speaker 4: doing with Ariana. So you're listening for Ariana Grande. We
- 28:29Speaker 4: will have Ariana coming up this morning. By the way,
- 28:31Speaker 4: leave it talk back when you hear that song. But
- 28:33Speaker 4: speaking of Lady Gaga, let's go to Sarah and metic.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Okay, Hey Sarah and Medford, Hello, what show you want
- 28:40Speaker 1: to talk about?
- 28:42Speaker 16: So back in two thousand and eight, I think there
- 28:45Speaker 16: was a Lady Gaga concert at House of Blues and
- 28:48Speaker 16: we wanted to go so bad. Couldn't get tickets, couldn't
- 28:50Speaker 16: find them anywhere, so we decided to just go and
- 28:53Speaker 16: show up. And we got to the ticket window and
- 28:56Speaker 16: I said, Hi, I'm here. We won tickets on Kiss.
- 28:58Speaker 16: Want to wait, We're just ready to go in, and
- 29:01Speaker 16: they were like, oh my god, we don't have tickets
- 29:02Speaker 16: for you, and I like kind of threw a fake
- 29:04Speaker 16: melt down and was like, I won these tickets. I
- 29:06Speaker 16: drove all the way here and then we got in,
- 29:09Speaker 16: we got backstage. We got to see the whole showl
- 29:11Speaker 16: for free.
- 29:13Speaker 1: What Yeah, did you wait a minute? Do you win
- 29:17Speaker 1: tickets on kiss or not?
- 29:19Speaker 6: No?
- 29:19Speaker 5: That was a lie.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Oh my god. And you got into the God the
- 29:24Speaker 1: meet and Gweed and everything else.
- 29:26Speaker 13: God, I believe it.
- 29:28Speaker 8: But we just went with it.
- 29:29Speaker 16: We're like, you know what we're in, let's us go
- 29:31Speaker 16: with this.
- 29:32Speaker 3: And it worked.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're a genius. Hello, Hello, you're also
- 29:36Speaker 1: a liar.
- 29:38Speaker 12: Hello.
- 29:41Speaker 1: That is a cool story.
- 29:42Speaker 4: I do what you gotta do.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Man, Good morning.
- 29:44Speaker 8: This is Sharon from Milford. I'm almost embarrassed to say it,
- 29:48Speaker 8: but I pay close to seven hundred dollars to see
- 29:53Speaker 8: Stevie Nicks at Gillette. But it was my dad's favorite performer,
- 29:58Speaker 8: and I felt as if it worth every penny, and
- 30:02Speaker 8: it actually was. It was an experience.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Yeah, you went to see Stevie Nicks.
- 30:07Speaker 2: I did at the Garden.
- 30:08Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, so that's I wonder if that's the Gillette's
- 30:10Speaker 4: show that it rained because when I was going to
- 30:13Speaker 4: Noah Khan, my friend saw Stevie Nicks at Gillette and
- 30:16Speaker 4: she paid a ton of money and it rained the
- 30:18Speaker 4: entire time.
- 30:19Speaker 1: She said it was awful night at Noah as well.
- 30:21Speaker 4: It was raining at Noah con. Yeah, yeah, so I
- 30:23Speaker 4: wonder if that was the same show as Stevie Nicks
- 30:26Speaker 4: at Gillette.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Ticket price is amazing. It's tuition.
- 30:30Speaker 4: Yeah, like all these bigs. Hopefully this this will pass
- 30:33Speaker 4: with Mara Healey, she'll be on to eight ten with us,
- 30:35Speaker 4: and you know, change can happen. Otherwise you're not getting tickets.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Bud, you're not getting tickets.
- 30:41Speaker 3: And by the way, you and your husband send him
- 30:46Speaker 3: down here and I'll tear his
- 30:49Speaker 4: Head all
