Jay-Z‘s Friday concert was meant to raise money for the widows and orphans of New York City cops and firefighters who died in the line of duty, but scalpers are selling tickets online (originally $54.50) for up to $45,000.

HOTT NEWS!

Jigga’s putting suckas on violation!

JAY-Z has deliberately kept ticket prices for his Friday concert at Madison Square Garden low at $54.50, since the show is meant to benefit the widows and orphans of New York City cops and firefighters who died in the line of duty. That’s why he was furious when all 20,000 tickets sold out in just moments and started appearing on the Web for $200, $3,000 and even up to $45,000 each on one site.

The rapper said in a statement:

We are truly disheartened that certain individuals would choose to benefit from what is meant to be a 100% charitable event. We do not support any profits made from reselling any ticket that was meant to be purchased by honest fans.

Tickets were consciously made available for sale as close to the concert date as possible to avoid traditional scalping.

Organizers of the concert had hoped to raise more than $750,000 for the widows’ and children’s fund, but clearly this isn’t quite what they had in mind. Plenty of fans told the New York Daily News that they had tried to buy tickets for the show, but no affordable ones were left available even early on in the ticket sales. The concert will air on the Fuse network for those who still want to see it, but it’s still not nearly as cool as seeing the “special guests” Jay-Z was lining up live.
