Wait...I thought he was the "best rapper alive?"

Couple of notes on this: A major reason tickets aren't selling is because they are way overpriced. Second, Kingdom Come was crap but his last record was actually American Gangster which is one of his best in years. Jay-Z is good but he's not the Rolling Stones. They need to price accordingly.

OK, so here's how it actually went down:

I had an extra pair of tickets that I had to virtually give away after I couldn't even find someone to pay face value and craiglist was littered with desperate souls like myself so I fully expected this show to be empty.

Shockingly, the place ended up being packed. I'm not going to say sold out but the seats had to be close to 95 percent full and the lawn had to be 75 percent full. I'm not sure where all of these people came up with this money or if there was some sort of free ticket faucet that I missed out on but the place was full and they were pumped for Mary J and Jay Z. I couldn't believe it.

I'd say each artist go tan equal amount of love from the audience. There were a lot of females there showing there love for Mary J especially during her biggest hits like Real Love and when she opened with Can't Knock the Hustle and Jay-Z was on stage.

Jay-Z had the crowd rolling with Roc Boys and 99 Problems and they finished the show when Mary J came back out and did a great version of Heart of the City.

So yeah, I guess there is a reason Jay Z is filthy rich after all.

I heard rumor that K104 and some of the stations ended up with a bunch of free tickets t give away at the last minute. Word of mouth does travel fast on things like that, but I can't verify it was true. Just what I heard.

I'm still convinced the show was overpriced, but at the end of the day the seats were full and crowd was pumped.

On to see Bruce Springsteen tonight.

Here's my question: will there be anyone else in the city of Dallas (who isn't a reporter) at both Jay-Z/Blige and Springsteen?

This was such a false report. There was not a huge amount of "free" tickets for this show. Iwant to know what's wrong with Mary & Jay putting a value on what has been long and successful careers (ticket price). I've seen rock show tickets going for more than $250 on numerous occasions. It was beautiful to see these artists tour together and not have beef. I saw the interview with David Letterman and Jay was just having a little fun at the expense of R.Kelly. It was really all Letterman wanted to discuss anyway from my viewpoint. On another note it was a great show, the masses stayed until the end and was worth the price of the ticket. My 2cents.
