Billy Joel doesn’t pause after hearing how tickets to his upcoming Shea Stadium shows - “The Last Play at Shea” - were being resold online for several thousand dollars apiece, with some being priced at nearly $100,000.
“Yeah, I can tell you right now, I’m not worth that,” he says, calling from his Sag Harbor home. “Maybe if The Beatles could somehow get back together or if Jimi Hendrix came back from the dead, I would pay $1,000. But if you pay that much for me, you’re not going to be happy. I’m not worth more than the face value of the ticket.”
