According to StubHub.com, ticket scalpers are selling tickets for The Joel Osteen Tour for as much as $850. SEE COST PER SEAT!

On the StubHub.com site, tickets for this event are being resold by Ticket Scalpers therefore the price is currently ranging from $18 in the Nose Bleed Seats, all the way up to $850 if you desire to look directly up Joel Osteen’s Nose.

Stubhub.com is also reporting that the normal cost of tickets in Delta Suit B without the Scalper mark up is $592.

Since when did scalpers start scalping church tickets you ask? Since 2005, when Joel Osteen proved he could sellout a stadium. Traditionally ticket scalpers are only interested in sold out events. Apparently the scalpers feel this event will sell out, and fans of Joel Osteen are willing to pay their asking premium. Regardless of the Performer on the stage - even if that performer just so happens to be a Preacher, the scalpers somehow seem to know how to make a profit, and they’re planning to profit as Joel profits.

We did a little research on the cost of concert tickets for Joel Osteen as compared to other performers, and the cost for Pastor Osteen ranks near the top of all tours this summer. For a “Cover Artist” who simply recaps the Greatest Hits of Jesus Christ, Joel Osteen makes Jay-Z look like a one hit wonder.

Good grief. I'd rather stay home. Actually, they might need to pay me to go. LOL!

[Reader]

Not interested in hearing the man....

[Praxeas]

Sad...sadder is that people will pay for this

[shazeep]

well boo-ya for JO! I know how many feel about him taking over his dad's ministry...but i also know that he was unwilling, and wanted them to pick someone else, anyone else, as he (and i) feel that the institutional ministry is hopelessly corrupted. He is not his father, and never meant to be; but he is an awesome encourager nonetheless. I think he is the right guy for this time, and managed to take a bad situation--wherein he may even be being blackmailed to minister--and turn it to the Lord's work.

Divine favor pays big bucks. lol

That was an interesting situation when John died. Shazeep is correct that Joel did not want the mantle at the time. Not long after John died I had a private conversation with a famous Christian television and film producer who had worked closely with John Osteen. He said that Joel was very much a behind the scenes guy not interested in being in the spotlight.

I would say he adjusted well to the spotlight! His wife likes it even better.

[crakjak]

He's done a good job, if one really listens to what he says, it can be very encouraging. Of course, many that badmouth Joel couldn't keep 300 people together without splitting every other year. To build something that big should get some level of respect, someone in the place has some awesome leadership ability.

And they do it without dominating, and being a despot.

I agree with you.

I just don't understand the attraction of this couple.

[shazeep]

Well, he is not my cup of tea, either--and my feeling about her is that she should not even want to be on stage--but i will tell you that the attraction is that he is not death centered.

[ILG]

If they can encourage people and do it without being corrupt and money-grubbing, more power to them. but I have to question those ticket prices.

Could you explain the "not death centered"? I am afraid I don't understand.

[navygoat1998]

I agree with you.

I would not walk across the road to see him or Lee Stoneking.

Even though I disagree with LS' "magic hair" doctrine, I'd go hear him preach. I've heard him several times on HGR. He's one of the best preachers on the name of Jesus.

He has gotten kind of to far out there for me. The Oneness pastor I still listen to is TF Tenney. I love that guy.
