It was supposed to be a nice bonus for people who paid $1,500 to attend a fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) -- a ticket to the Bruce Springsteen concert next Sunday at Giants Stadium.
But the Lautenberg campaign canceled its order for 40 tickets today after it came under review by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which is promoting the concert, and drew fire from Republicans.
"On the basis of the Sports Authority's recent statements, and despite the fact that the Sports Authority agreed to sell us a block of tickets to Sunday's Bruce Springsteen concert, the Lautenberg for Senate campaign is rescinding its order for tickets to the upcoming concert," Julie Roginsky, a campaign spokeswoman, said today.
