MSN Tickets Hot, Mariner Tickets Not

The coldest ticket in town right now might be the Mariners - Seattlest bought tickets off the street for $5 the other day to sit on the back of the mound as Moyer implausibly led them to a win over the World Champs in 11. What's the hottest ticket? If you're thinking of Tool and the depressing state of affairs on CL regarding those it's a good guess, but no. Think loafers instead of combat boots and polos with the company monogram rather than concert tees. Microsoft's Strategic Accounts Summit is approaching and tickets to the event are hot.

How much would you pay for a pair for the 7th Annual? Look at your shoes. If they're combat boots you might pay to not be there. If they're loafers you might pay $760 like this determined ebay bidder. Those had better be close enough to allow Ballmer to sweat on you during his dance routine while Jay Z rocks the mic. That's right, Ballmer, Jay Z, Gates, Donny Deutch and "700 of the world's top marketers." Oh boy. Upon further inspection the winning bidder also gets three nights in a hotel and free meals with their $760 tickets. It's almost worth it to skip the show and call it a Seattle vacation.
