Joel Osteen Tour Ticket Prices Reach $850: Cost Of Gospel Hits All Time High!

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.
