Tickets Priced So Low Even You Can’t Complain
That’s the year the venue held its first event – the two-day Quaker City Jazz Festival, promoted by Electric Factory Concerts, which is now part of the Live Nation concert family.
To celebrate the end of an era, Live Nation is going back to when it all began at the Spectrum by selling tickets for the Hall & Oates/Hooters/Rundgren spectacular for the same prices as the ’67 jazz event – $4, $5 and $6.
They’re calling the October 23 event “Last Call” and it’s part of the Wachovia Spectrum’s “Final Farewell Concert Series,” which also features shows by Maxwell (Oct. 23), Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (Oct. 13-14 & 19-20) and Leonard Cohen (Oct. 21), before closing it up right with Pearl Jam (Oct. 27-28 & 30-31).
Tickets for “Last Call,” presented in association with Live Nation, Greater Media, Toyota, Budweiser and Pepsi, go on sale Saturday, Sept. 19 at 10 a.m. Philadelphia time. There will be a limited number of VIP tickets, which include a post-concert reception and a certificate for a commemorative brick from the building to be given after the building closes.
