The group has a new record now: the most expensive concert poster sold at auction. The poster is from the Beatles&#8217; August 23, 1966 concert at Shea Stadium, one of the last live concerts they performed while still touring. Six days later, the Beatles played their last concert for a paying audience at San Francisco&#8217;s Candlestick Park, retiring from live shows and focusing exclusively on recording in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>According to the auction room, &#8220;Unlike previous Beatles-at-Shea posters, this one of the Fab Four&#8217;s final tours was untouched by conservation experts. Its previous owner, who owned it for decades, took great care of the keepsake.&#8221; Curiously, the concert did not sell out; about 11,000 of 55,600 tickets were still available at showtime. The Beatles made $189K for their appearance, 65% of the $292K gross ticket sales. The poster came close to that total take. Bidding opened at $115K and quickly escalated, hammering down at $220K ($275K w\/p), setting a record for the most expensive concert post sold at auction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Beatles are considered the most influential and best-selling music group of all time.
