Eat Richie!
Lionel Richie fans were said to have rebelled on Monday night. They showed up at the concert venue in Times Square and were told they were hoping that the icon would give them an intimate performance.
According to the spy, some fans were billed as “Truly: An Invention of Lionel Richie and Friends” on sites that include Ticketmaster and Stubhub, and paid as much as $600 pop on Stub at the event’s ticket resale site.
One person said he paid $1,200 in the evening and even had a special T-shirt made in the evening.
However, when the “Hello” superstar went on stage just to settle for a thought-provoking interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts, it was revealed that no one would dance on the ceiling that night, or in fact, anywhere else.
According to sources from the 1,500 auditorium at City Hall, the crowd was jealous of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“They were upset,” the spy said, “People left. Someone yelled, “Silent and sing!” Another person was escorted, yelling, “I want to get my money back!” ”
“At one point, he was taken away and we talked about someone being called, ‘We were too!”,” they added.
Richie was said to have apparently admitted the issue, and at one point he said, “If you’re looking for a concert, you’re in the wrong place.”
After the show, the grunts of the concert were… Q&A participants, some still at the box office grossing demanding a refund.
“It was crazy,” our onlooker said.
However, Richie’s camp turned his fingers to the fans.
His flack, Jeff Raymond, told Page 6:
“And also, $600.00 wasn’t a cost because that number came from Ticketmaster, and the secondary market site came,” he said. “The average cost is $77.00 and includes a copy of the book.”
Perhaps in addition to the confusion, Richie is also in the midst of residency as a musical act.
The same thing happened to Miley Cyrus Irier this year. During the Tribeca Film Festival, Cyrus screened her film “Something is Beautiful” at the Beacon Theater, followed by a Q&A.
Those who purchased tickets on third-party websites appeared to misunderstand the event. “I thought this was a concert and I paid $800.”
Town Hall did not return to us.
