Bowie To Perform At Concert For New York City

Come out for The Garden, baby*

We are very pleased to be able to announce that David Bowie will now be the opening performance at Madison Square Garden as part of the Concert For New York City this coming Saturday, October 20th. David’s appearance was confirmed just yesterday, and you are the very first people to learn of his definite addition to the bill.

Though it seems the event had previously sold out, we can reveal that Ticketmaster will be selling more tickets online tomorrow morning at 9:00am local time. At this point we have no further information regarding these tickets, and we suggest you keep an eye on the Ticketmaster site for any further details. Though out of many people’s price range, VIP tickets are available through Robin Hood on a first-come, first-serve basis at three price levels, ranging from $2,000 to $10,000. Tickets with a starting bid of $1,500 are also available on eBay. Unfortunately, BowieNet has no involvement with any ticket sales for this event whatsoever.

For those of you that can’t get to Madison Square Garden for one reason or another, the event will be broadcast live on VH1 in North America, and the following day in 88 countries around the world. The event will also be webcast online via AOL. (This AOL webcast may be available to AOL members only)

If any of you do find out anything more, please let other fans know via the MBs. Obviously it may be sensible to keep this news among BowieNet members until you have tickets for yourselves.
