Getting played: media outlets take bait that demand for first three Jay-Z shows prompted two more
Atlantic Yards Report
Let's recap. In May, Barclays Center/Nets CEO Brett Yormark let slip that Jay-Z would perform five shows at the new arena.
This week, they announced three shows would go on sale. Those tickets sold quickly.
Then, a new announcement: two more shows. The media took the bait. The Daily News reported:
Due to incredible demand for presale tickets for his initial three concerts, Hova will also perform shows on Oct. 3 and Oct. 4.
