News about Wicked the Musical apparently came into competition with the biggest-hyped popular event in the last month, the release of Sony’s Playstation 3, when one fan posted this high-end deal on an internet message board: he would trade a brand new Playstation 3 console for two tickets to the Wicked Musical and $700. For all… those… fans out there who want to play Wicked the Video Game. I kid, the closest one would come is Harry Potter. Maybe Wicked Games? I kid again, that’s Chris Isaac.
But the Playstation 3 console will apparently cost Sony between $800 and $900 to make in its initial run, sources are reporting about a Merril Lynch analysis. Pre-Orders were $899 at Barnes & Noble.com, although the price was expected to fall to about $500 quickly, meaning of course huge initial net losses for the company, which would have to make it up over the long term.
And that is one way of buying or selling one’s Wicked the Musical Tickets. StubHub’s Wicked Tickets forum is another… ah… safer way of doing it, without losing oneself a Playstation 3 or $700. But you do have to admire his willingness to think outside of the box.
