LCD Soundsystem Launch Attack On Ticket Touts Over Final Gig

LCD Soundsystem have launched an attack on ticket touts after tickets for their last gig are being sold for $1,5000.

The band, fronted by James Murphy, recently announced that their gig at Madison Square Garden on April 2 would be “our last show ever”.

It seems that their fans are willing to pay over $1,500 off ticket touts to see the band.

LCD Soundsystem hit out at ticket toutes over their Twitter: "1500 for a single ticket? **** you, scalpers. You are parasites. I HATE you."

"i will try to figure a way out to **** these ****ers. NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, IT IS NOT WORTH THAT KIND OF MONEY TO SEE US!"

In a statement issued by the band they asked fans to turn up in all white, black or black and white, adding: “If it’s a funeral, let’s have the best funeral ever!!!”

Tickets go on sale on Friday (February 11).
