LCD Soundsystem have slammed ticket scalpers for trying to cash in on the band's last ever concert, branding them "parasites" for ripping off fans.
The electronic outfit recently announced it had decided to "retire from the game" and would bow out of the music industry with one final show at New York 's Madison Square Garden
Tickets went on sale on Wednesday, but devotees struggled to get through to websites to make their purchases and prime seats were soon being sold at extortionate prices online.
The group, fronted by James Murphy, was told about what was going on hours later and one of the stars took to LCD Soundsystem's Twitter blog to hit out at ticket touts after learning prices on the second-hand marketplace had soared to $1500 per stub.
The band member wrote, "1500 (dollars) for a single ticket? F**k you, scalpers. You are parasites. I HATE you."
They added: "NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, IT IS NOT WORTH THAT KIND OF MONEY TO SEE US!"
