Boston One Concert Sells Out In Minutes


At 10 a.m. on Monday morning, tickets for a concert to benefit The One Fund went on sale. Five minutes later, the 19,600-seat event had completely sold out, the TD Garden said on Twitter.

According to WBUR, the event, announced by promoters on Friday, brings together top-notch musical acts and comedians from around the country to support victims of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings. The lineup includes Aerosmith, New Kids on the Block, James Taylor, Dane Cook and Steven Wright, among others. Additional artists and performers are expected to be announced as the event date nears.

TD Garden has said it will cover rent and all expenses for the concert.  To that same end, TD Garden will also rely on digital-only tickets to prevent scalping.

The One Fund has collected nearly $29 million since it launched just two days after the marathon bombings.
