Mariah Carey Concert Tickets

Mariah Carey born March 27,1970 is an American R&B and pop singer-songwriter, record producer, and occasional actress. Carey made her debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and became the first recording act to have her first five singles top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of subsequent successful records consolidated her position as one of Columbia’s highest-selling acts, and according to Billboard magazine she was the most successful artist of the 1990s in the United States.
Carey took full creative control over her image and music following her separation from Mottola in 1997, and introduced elements of hip hop into her album material. Her popularity was in decline when she left Columbia in 2001, and she was dropped by Virgin Records the following year after a highly publicized physical and emotional breakdown and the poor reception of Glitter, her film and soundtrack project. Carey later signed with Island/Def Jam, and after an unsuccessful period, she returned to the forefront of popular music in 2005.
In 2000 the World Music Awards named Carey the best-selling female artist of all time, and she has recorded the most U.S. number-one singles for a female artist. In addition to her commercial accomplishments, she is well-known for her melismatic singing voice which has been noted for its range, power and technical ability. However, some critics have said that Carey’s efforts to showcase her vocal talents have been at the expense of communicating true emotion through song.
Carey was born in Huntington, Long Island, New York. She is the third and youngest child of Patricia Hickey, a former opera singer and voice coach of Irish American extraction, and Alfred Roy Carey, an aeronautical engineer of Afro-Venezuelan descent. As a multiethnic family, the Careys endured racial slurs, hostility, and sometimes violence, causing the family to frequently relocate throughout the New York and Rhode Island areas. The strain on the family led to the divorce of Carey’s parents when she was three years old.
Carey had little contact with her father, and her mother worked several jobs to support the family. Spending much of her time at home alone, she turned to music as an outlet. She began singing at around the age of three, performing for the first time in public during elementary school, and was writing her own songs by junior high. Carey graduated from Harborfields High School in Greenlawn, New York, although she was frequently absent due to her popularity as a demo singer for local recording studios. Her renown within the Long Island music scene gave her opportunities to work with musicians such as Gavin Christopher and Ben Margulies, with whom she co-wrote material for her demo tape. After moving to New York, City, Carey worked numerous part-time jobs to pay the rent and completed five hundred hours of beauty school. Eventually, she became a backup singer for Brenda K. Starr.
In 1988 Carey met Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola at a party, where Starr gave him Carey’s demo tape. Mottola played the tape while leaving the party and was very impressed with what he heard. He returned to find Carey, but she had left. Nevertheless, Mottola tracked her down and signed her to a recording contract. This Cinderella-like story became part of the standard publicity surrounding Carey’s entrance into the industry.

    I have an extra Mariah Carey concert ticket. Can I sell it outside the door of the event?
    It’s for Thursday at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. Do you think someone will buy it at the door, or even somewhere at the venue? Or, is it even illegal? (I dont want to be arrested.) I just want to get this off my hands.

    You can sell it for the cover price, you can’t sell it for more than the retailer sells it for, thats scalping.

  • sueflower:

    It’s not illegal to sell it outside the event as long as it is a valid ticket and you sell it for face value (the price printed on the ticket.)

    Well your question has two answers: yes, you can sell it but no it is illegal.

    ya you can sell them…but you can only sell them MAXIMUM of 105% of the original price. It’s called scalping btw.

  • theblackenedphoenix:

    Yes, I believe you can as long as you sell it for the same price or less that you bought it for.

  • lalily:

    It is ok to sell but not for a higher price than the value. You can sell it for what you paid(the price on the ticket) that is legal!

  • droolie_da_dog:

    if you sell it for more than retail value, it’s called scalping! And you can be arrested.

  • Arashikitty:

    That’s like scalping. How about selling it online? You just post it on eBay (with covered seat numbers of course) and you should have no problem. Good luck.

  • D:

    You can sell it for the price on the ticket or less; it is only "scalping" if you sell it for more than the price printed.

  • imroser22:

    From what I have heard, you ARE allowed to sell extra tickets but you can’t make a certain percentage more than what you bought them for (or something along those lines)…I think it goes according to what state you are in…umm..maybe you could try looking it up on the web as "ticket scalping"…hope this helps at least somewhat

    You should be able to as long as you charge the ticket price or below the ticket price; what people get arrested for outside of venues is for "scalping" which is charging a higher price for the ticket than fair market value, which is illegal.

    We went to a concert one hoping that someone would have an extra ticket to sell so a friend could attend at the last minute for a soldout concert and the person offered to sell it for $3 below the ticket price, but I went ahead and paid the ticket price.

    Good luck!

    Scalping is illegal in New Jersey but you can resell your ticket outside the venue. You would have to sell it for the face value and no more than a 20% markup or $3 whichever is greater. That is the ticket resale law in New Jersey and if you comply you’ll have no problem.

    Here is the actual section of the law that pertains to legal resale.–

    "New Jersey State law is very specific about the prices that can be charged on the resale of tickets to New Jersey events. A price that exceeds $3 or 20 percent above the ticket’s face value, whichever is greater, clearly is in violation of the law."

    So stay with within these guidelines and you’ll be fine.

    State laws governing the resale of tickets are often murky.
    So you’ll have search your state guideline’s.

    Scalping tickets for sporting events has spread from stadium parking lots to cyberspace.

    I did find written confirmation that, you cannot charge a price more than 20% above, what the original ticket cost = face value.
