Partying Like its 1999 in the Hamptons

The latest example of wretched excess in the 2/20 crowd is the concert series being held this summer at the Ross School in East Hampton.

Tickets, which run 15k, per show, apparently have been trading worse than subprime slime. The first show had more empty seats than a CDO trading desk.

According to people who attended the Prince show, the 1,500-seat outdoor seating venue had plenty of empty seats. Desperate to fill them, organizers starting slashing the ticket price, down to $3,000 just for the Prince show, and then offering two-for-one discounts. “The show had a serious lack of energy,” said one attendee. “There was several empty seats and no was dancing.” It’s unclear if the celebrities who showed up--Leo DiCaprio, Christie Brinkley, Kid Rock-- paid retail, as celebrities rarely do. (Brinkley’s kids go to the school). Executives in attendence who could certainly afford the ticket price included Californian moguls Steven Bing and Ron Burkle, Jay Z and Edgar Bronfman Jr., and David (son of Ralph) Lauren.

Still, I am hoping to crash the gates for Tom Petty on August 25th.
