- I have two great seats for Last Play at Shea on 7/16, Section 28 Box 658A seat 1-2. I am selling them because I got better tickets on the Lodge.
I will sell them for the actual price to me, 229.
please respond asap since we are days away. These are promoter tickets that were not used, and only put out to the public this weekend.

- We attended the Billy Joel concert in Hershey last night July 10. After waiting for months for this concert and anticipating a great show, we both felt cheated and disappointed. The show started 40 minutes late, the staff at Hershey were very rude, felt the sax player didn't sound all that great some of which was the sound crew not doing their job properly. Billy performed decent and sounded good. Probably the most disappointing thing we can say, is that we waited along time for this show and paid good money for the tickets only to not hear all the songs that made Billy famous. If we had to do over we would have bought tickets to some other show. Mike & Steph
