CLAY AIKEN SELLS OUT SPECIAL ONE NIGHT ONLY RALEIGH EVENT IN MINUTES
February 24, 2010 | by Skope Staff
After being on-sale to the public for just minutes, Clay Aiken sold out the Memorial Auditorium in his hometown, Raleigh, NC for his special one night only concert event on Friday, March 12.
The singer put limited tickets on sale for fan club members on Tuesday, February 16th. Tickets were then made available for the general public at noon on Friday, February 19th. Fans flooded the online ticket sites and phone lines for the opportunity to be the first to hear Aiken’s new music selling out the singer’s special one night only show in mere minutes.
:) I’ll be there, really looking forward to it!!!
This is great, and I’m not a bit surprised. Am very happy for Clay Aiken and for his fans. I can’t be there, but I’m sure it will be a wonderful evening for all who can.
Then someone forgot to tell TicketMaster that the taping was sold out because tickets are still available on the website.
Fact-checking. It’s a good thing.
Someone had better tell Ticketmaster to quit selling tickets if this event is sold out.
I just tried to get a ticket and they are indeed sold out. Haters gotta hate I guess.
It’s also not correct that a “limited tickets” were available in the fan club pre-sale. Tickets for almost all seats were available and, in fact, were sold in the pre-sale.
This sounds like something a fan acting as a self-appointed publicist wrote.
I am one of the lucky persons who will be at this concert. If one goes to TM, you might find a couple of tickets in the very back, but that is all.
Well if it’s not 100% sold out it has to be very close to it. As Marty said, only a few tickets appear to be left and they are located in the side sections way in the back of the theater. Be sure to catch the show on your local PBS station in June.
Whoppeee! I can’t wait to go to this concert. Not surprising it sold out so fast..because he is HAWT!!
YEA!!! I’m soooo EXCITED and HAPPY for CLAY!!! As for me…I’m coming all the way from California…to hear this wonderful, awesome VOICE again!!!
I’ll be there, flying in from Oregon. Can’t wait to hear him singing again!!!!
I am excited for Clay Aiken, sad for myself as I cannot attend this special event…. will have to wait and and see it on PBS when it airs.
I am sure this is going to be an awesome concert.
I cannot be there either, but i know the special is coming in June and I am thrilled.
Those going to the concert are in for a night of beautiful music!!!
@ Darien Don’t know what kind of criteria you put in Ticketmaster, but I just tried for 1, 2, 3 and 4 seats and got tickets for each quantity.
How exciting! I wish I could be there, but I’m looking forward for the PBS special airing in June and also for buying the CD and I hope they also sell the DVD at PBS.
Count me as someone who would be there is I could. I am excited for this new CD. The few song titles I have heard to be included are on my all time favorite list. Can’t wait for it to air.
Such a Genuine Pleasure to be able to listen to Clay Aiken Sing. This man has an AWESOME VOCAL GIFT and I am so looking forward to his new cd and the PBS special. I TRULY WISH this Talented man continued success in all of his future endeavours.
I thank the couple of people who indicated that some tickets were still available. Apparently they called it a sell out when only balcony tickets were available. There are 4 of us who wanted to go and we could not find 4 tickets together at all,..could not find 3 either. We did find 2 and 2, not near each other in the balcony. So, thanks for the “heads up”!
Tickets are still available.
I got two tickets. I’m going to give one away free to any friend of mine who’ll go with me. So far everyone I’ve asked has laughed at me. One person said she thought Clay was dead OMG! I don’t get why all the hate. Clay Aiken is UNF UNF UNF!!!!! I can’t stop dreaming about doing him and how smokin’ hawt he is. I will never stop loving him and I don’t care if everyone I know thinks he’s a big joke.
Good luck, Clay! Sold out or not sold out, it does not matter!
The talent remains in you! Get them, kiddo!
You deserve every bit of everything! You have been through
rough times fending off unwanted attention from uninvited sources,
but somehow, you’ve always managed to keep your composure. People tried
to put you down but self-confidence and good spirit managed to pull you
up to the surface. Be proud of yourself, your accomplishments and be proud
of what you have! More power to you! We will be waiting for the SPECIAL and the new CD!
Looks like there are a very few random seats in the far back corner. I was dying toI go but the timing is wrong for me to travel. I will have to wait until June to catch it on PBS television. Looks like it will be an amazing evening.
I am so excited I can hardly contain myself, if you have never seen Clay in concert please believe me you don’t know what your missing. We are driving in from New Jersey but believe me I would walk to Raleigh to see Clay, he has it all.
I’m so happy for Clay and for us Clay fans. I just hope he will be touring very soon.
Many of us are not able to make it to this one time only concert.
I’m happy that Clay has so many fans.
I’m so looking forward to this PBS special and to his new CD.
yksask,
It is so generous of you to share your ticket. I’m sure if you post your offer on one of the Clay boards you will find a taker. Wish that I could go but the time is not right for me. :-(
There are a few balcony seats available and maybe some that bought tickets and
can’t make it are selling them at Ebay, not for a profit.
I am so happy that the Clay Aiken one night concert Sold Out! He is an awesome talent, and a wise, intelligent man who is going to show others how not to be bullied as young people and as an adult. His compassion for others stands out in his National Inclusion Project. He not only has an open heart for others, but a VOICE that should be heard and enjoyed.
I am so glad that his concert is sold out! That’s what usually happens with someone so talented as he is. The man is so intelligent and compassionate in his causes. As an entertainer, he cannot be beat. Cannot wait for his cd to be released. I will be the first one in line to get that gem.
I saw Clay’s last concert in Pala, in Los Angeles, and again in Asheville. If I could get a ticket, I’d go to Raleigh now! I’m not rich, and I’m not a claymate (not part of an organized group), but I love Clay and his concerts were among the best times I’ve had in my life. And I’ve had a good life! Haters should know by now that they can’t put Clay down; he’s unsinkable. Doesn’t matter what is said: Clay’s coming out on top, where he belongs.
For anyone who wants tickets there are hundreds available. Go to Ebay or Stub Hub. they must call it a sell out because all the tickets are bought by these groups trying to make money on them but there are a ton of them out there so no sell out in minutes. Dream on. Clay has lost a ton of fans. Not because he is gay but because he misled and lied to his fans for five years. Look at his Ebay . He used to be a big seller now you can’t give his junk away. But lots of tickets for you that are not selling.
Those tickets available on ebay have been PURCHASED. The venue SOLD them to someone. All artists have to deal with brokers and independent entrepreneurs trying to make a buck. The problem happens when fans get shafted into lesser seats and venues have nothing to offer locals at the box office.
Look at ebay for any artist. It’s a common problem. Bruce Springsteen just filed a lawsuit over it. There has to be a better way.
He may not be everyones cuppa tea but the man can truely sing that’s for sure.
Wish I was making a trip to Raleigh it proves to be an exciting night..
The day that the brokers don’t buy blocks of tickets to scalp will be about damn time..
