That's what I was thinking, b/c it's a benefit - Like how primo seats for Stevie's Arizona Heart Benefit are very expensive.
P.S. I love Simon and Garf.

[Livia]

$3000? WTF? Does that include airfare/hotel/tickets to the show AND a meet and greet with everyone??

Thank you Livia, for answering Paleshadow.

$3,000?? Lets hope they have cheap seats, too.

I wish Stevie had participated in the ReAct concert. The list of performers for that benefit is phenomenal as well.

The Garden's cure for Big Easy's blues
Glenn Gamboa

September 9, 2005

Elton John, Bette Midler, Jimmy Buffett and Rod Stewart will share the stage Sept. 20 with New Orleans-based legends Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers for "The Big Apple to the Big Easy," Madison Square Garden's benefit concert to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina and the rebuilding of New Orleans.

Domino, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer best known for "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame," was rescued from his New Orleans home and taken to the Superdome and then to Baton Rouge, La., like thousands of other evacuees last week. He slept on the floor of LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell's apartment for two days before securing transportation to a more permanent home, The Advocate of Baton Rouge reported.

Toussaint left his New Orleans home to seek shelter in a nearby hotel, only to be rescued from there and taken to the Superdome, before receiving transportation to New York.

The concert will also include performances by Lenny Kravitz; Stevie Nicks; John Fogerty; Earth, Wind and Fire; Loggins and Messina; and New Orleans' Buckwheat Zydeco, the original Meters, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and the Rebirth Brass Band.

Tickets for the benefit - which the Garden will underwrite, as well as donate an additional $1 million to the Bush Clinton Katrina Fund, Habitat for Humanity and the MusiCares Hurricane Relief Fund - will go on sale Tuesday through Ticketmaster. Ticket prices haven't been determined.

Any word yet on if this is going to be televised? I can't imagine it wouldn't be, but I haven't heard anything.

It's not going to be televised; it's just a benefit show. PBS is airing a jazz-themed benefit on the 17th, though, with Bette Midler, Elvis Costello, and Paul Simon (amongst others).
