Scalpers who stood out in the downpour outside the Air Canada Centre today said tickets to the sold out Barbara Streisand concert tonight were readily available.
While he wouldn’t give a specific price, one scalper said tickets would probably go below face value, as he sat in his black Maserati counting green bills.
Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster originally ranged from $85-$550.
A number of luxury cars drove up to the ACC and made a deal with the scalpers in their vehicle to avoid the rain. Meanwhile, tickets were still selling online at eBay and Craigslist. One seller, who had no bids on eBay, was asking $1,200 for a pair of floor seats, while others were offering the tickets for face value or even below.
Tickets for the second show Friday were also selling for near face value.
