Pulse 87 Birthday Bash tickets are selling for $500!

They're definitely in high demand! If Pulse 87 decided to sell those tickets directly for $100 each, Mega Media would be able to make a bigger profit.
Let's do the math. Cume of 600,000. If only 10% are passionate enough to want tickets, that's a demand of 60,000! Based on two tickets given away each hour from 10AM-12 midnight for 40 days in a row, that's 1120 tickets available. That means only 2% of the listeners that want to go will get a chance to go. I was lucky to get on "the list" early. I was caller 2, caller 5, and caller 7, all on the same phone during the first week of the giveaway, and Pulse 87 had announced only 4 artists that were relatively unknown. Now, winning tickets is about as hard as winning any money in Atlantic City. If you want to go for free, you must listen to Pulse for hours each day and have a good reaction time. Very few things can sell tickets on the secondary market for $300-500. There's definitely a demand for dance music in New York City. I'd love to see Pulse throw a concert in Central Park or in one of the many sports venues in the region.
You could wait till the summer when Party 105 announces its lineup for Mega Jam. Most of the same artists will perform there, and it'll be cheaper to get in and it will only be 60-80 miles away.
 
I know the popularity has been really crazy for Pulse. It's reminiscent of what 103.5 'KTU did as they first launched in 1996 regarding "Last Dance At Studio 54".

Still haven't gotten tickets yet to this........
 
they should just give them to YOU, Tony - i have a feeling that PART of the reason for Pulse's success is ALL the efforts that YOU and EVERYONE at the Coalition has done to SUPPORT them... 8)

Tony, you should be able to walk into the studio and just ask for VIP tickets, as you provided Pulse 87's first listeners through your coalition. Those listeners told their friends, and so on. As well as people accidentally discovering good music on 87.7. My car radio has all the presets set to 87.7 after I jump start. If someone installs a new car audio system, their first station on their new system will most likely be Pulse 87.

In the future, Pulse 87 should sell tickets for a concert at Madison Square Garden, Giants Stadium, Jones Beach, or any other venue that holds a large number of people. That way, listeners don't feel shut out and Pulse can get a little extra cash. And they can still give away tickets on the air to keep the TSL up. 60,000 people will sell out MSG several times, and almost fill up Giants Stadium. The artists would love to perform in front of such a huge crowd. Pulse 87 would get about the same attendance as Beatstock. Last year, Party 105 got 10,000 people who came just for Mega Jam, their cume is much less than Pulse, and their listeners in Connecticut would have to drive up to 4 hours.
 
I think Tony should get a lot MORE than just a comp and a shout-out; I mean, look it, this guy and the Coalition have done SO MUCH for Pulse 87's success and for the success of dance music IN GENERAL that Pulse 87 should be getting down on its collective knees and thanking God for people like Tony Santiago and the Coalition!! But that's just my opinion - talk amongst yourselves... :)

GOOD FOR YOU - SO EXCITED!! If ANYBODY should get in for nothing, it's YOU, Tony - ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!! ;D ;D

Tony, how did you get on The List, were you caller #7 or did you use your "VIP privileges"?
It's amazing that people would pay up to $500 for concert tickets in this economy. For everything, there will always be economic opportunists. When the Wii was released, people camped out for days only to sell it on eBay for $1000. For this, it's like people "camped out" for weeks by the radio in order to win, just to sell the tickets.
 
I'm just going! lol

One thing has to be said....the Pulse folks DO read these posts. Lil' Cee did mention the craigslist tickets on the air thinking that the prices were ridiculous (rightfully so!). I could only imagine how much the 'KTU tickets for "Last Dance At Studio 54" would have sold for in 1996 if the Internet was in such a scale as it is today.

Doors open at 7PM on Tuesday. So for those of you going, I'll see you there! You won't miss me.....I actually have a "New York Dance Music Coalition" tie custom made for this ;) Logo all over!

Okay I can officially declare myself NUTS!!!! :eek: :D

Hold up, hold up, hold up here, Nick - I GOT-TA stick up for my boy Tony - as I have said even in this very thread and others...when Pulse 87 FIRST came on the scene, it was Tony and his Coalition who had probably EVERYTHING to DO with getting the word out about the station - THEY OWED HIM ONE!!

best thing about pirates...why the hell is there one killing Pulse. I heard of the pule 87 van giving the tickets out in queens, thought of taking the drive up but was unable to hear it because of that pirate on 87.9. this was hearing it after leaving jersey gardens mall might i add, and still no luck. hope i can score this weekend.
 
The 87.9 pirate was there before 87.7 signed on its Russian format in 2006. 87.9 is overmodulated. The Funny Clown Company isn't shutting it down. That pirate goes 25 miles and kills Pulse reception from Newark on south. I want to go to the pirate station and fly a kite covered with aluminum foil into the antenna.
