Rage Against The Machine Raise $3 Million For Charity, Stop About 85% Of Ticket Scalpers

Tickets for Rage Against The Machine’s reunion tour officially went on sale on February 13, but a lot of fans were outraged due to high prices and being unable to score tickets. Tom Morello has since commented on the situation, saying the most expensive tickets were $125 and that the band were actually able to stop about 85% of scalpers. However, the group did increase the prices on the last 10% of tickets in an effort to raise money for charity, an initiative that actually generated over $3 million for local charities in just 48 hours.

The MOST expensive ticket for ANY Rage Against The Machine/Run the Jewels headline show is $125 US (plus service fees) with the exception of CHARITY tickets where 100% of the additional proceeds go to charity. ANY other ticket at ANY other price is from SCALPERS.

So far we stopped approx 85% of the scalping market but I agree that ANY scalping is horrible and we will continue to combat it. https://t.co/OZ6KrP7pxw

Yes. Read it. 10% of all Tix reserved for charity. 100% of money above base price on each ticket goes to charities in that city. Charity price fluctuates to counter scalping. When we have final numbers will list charities. Over $3m raised for charity in first 48 hrs. https://t.co/ynAbtrSQT0
