Update, May 23 12:56 p.m.: You guys move quick. We barely had a chance to tweet this story out before all the tickets were scooped up; they weren't joking when they said "limited tickets available."

Here's a statement from Doug Hall over at BBVA:

This is going to be a great show and we thought a $9.37 promotion with the BEAT was a great way to kick off the holiday weekend. Clearly, since the available ticket inventory went in a hour, we are thrilled that the customers responded.

If you're like me and you didn't get the chance to scoop up a ticket while they were on the cheap, regular price tickets are still available. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.

I don't want to be crass, so let me just say that 93.7 The Beat is not [redacted] around. It's one thing to book BBVA Compass Stadium's first concert. It's another to load it up with some major local talent - Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Trae tha Truth and Z-Ro - and serious national acts, including Kendrick Lamar, Trey Songz, Future. But selling tickets to the show for $9.37 (plus services charges)? What kind of madness is this?

Well it's true; this weekend only, online only, and with limited tickets available, you can get your ticket to see some of the hottest MCs around for less than $10 (before service charges).

Personally speaking, I don't have a dog in the fight between The Beat and The Box, but there are two things I like in this world: deals on concert tickets and Kendrick's verse on "Fuckin' Problems." (It's not crass if it's a song title, in case you were wondering.) Putting the two of those together seems pretty sweet, and although I wasn't over the moon when I saw Kendrick a few months back, I respect that fact that he's a seriously talented artist. Not to mention, I'll always give props to a rapper who brings a real band on tour; nothing against a DJ, but I just like to feel the drums in my chest.

The only problem I see for The Beat is that this is going to be real tough to top. First the "Welcome to H-Town" show and now that? Very bold, but the only option after this is to go bigger and bolder. It'll be interesting to see what they have planned next.
