The tickets were given away by Ticketmaster on Sunday and Wednesday. Each person was allowed one pair.

Just as quickly, the tickets appeared online for sale.

Atlantic City Alliance spokesman Jeff Guaracino tells The Press of Atlantic City the group does not recommend that someone buy the free tickets, which Ticketmaster will be scanning on site.

Guaracino says people standing on the boardwalk or out on a boat will be able to hear the concerts.
