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.
