Redbox DVD Machines Selling Concert Tickets Only in Philadelphia


The next time you hit up a Redbox DVD rental machine in Philadelphia, you’ll also be able to pick up tickets to a big name concert, like Carrie Underwood, who is coming to Wells Fargo Center on November 28th. Well, to be more accurate, you can buy the tickets at the Redbox machine, but you’ll have to print them at home, which is totally lame.

Other Redbox events include the Pocono 400 race and Philadelphia Film Festival’s screening of the upcoming Bradley Cooper film, The Silver Linings Playbook. In this new pilot program, currently only in Philadelphia, service charges amount to one dollar, unlike the sometimes hefty fees tacked on by most ticketing companies. [Wall Street Journal]
