Petty Won’t Back Down

After many of Tom Petty’s fan club members complained that a number of the exclusive tickets to the late June Tom Petty / Pearl Jam shows meant for them were sold to scalpers, Petty’s management identified and canceled 600 tickets purchased at the tompetty.com pre-sale. The tickets will be re-sold through the Web site under tighter guidelines. More than 800 tickets to Tom Petty’s Madison Square Garden show were canceled as well for the same reason.http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002500766
