From Stereogum:

Allegedly, White said “What is this, an NPR convention?” and other rumors circulated suggesting that White was displeased by how many of that night’s tickets had gone to scalpers. Another rumor suggested White had bickered with a fan in the front row, eventually having the fan removed. I tend to agree with WSJ‘s Jason Gay that once you charge upwards of $30 for a concert — the lowest face value for a seat Saturday was $40, and that’s before factoring in whatever the scalper markup was — you forfeit your right to openly mock attendees (beer is also very expensive at Radio City). At any rate, 45 minutes of material … yeah. Pretty weak.

That sucks man. I'm glad I didn't go. I really like his solo outing too. This may make you happy If you didn't see it already: http://www.youtube.com/wa...OJzC9MQbds

I would be devastated if a Lana del Rey concert didn't stop after 60 minutes

You'd go see Lana del Rey live?

Yeah that's the quote... I did read about the scalpers too.

Ah yes, I remember my Lollapalooza days in the 90s. Back then though there were only seven or eight bands on the main stage so I didn't suffer that much.
