LEWISTON — Tickets to tonight’s Dolly Parton concert at Artpark remained available until gates at the outdoor amphitheater opened at 5:30 p.m. But those who waited until the last minute for Tuesday’s Barenaked Ladies concert find their options few and far between.

The Canadian rock band’s “Last Summer on Earth” tour tickets at Artpark sold out early. The band’s local following made general admission tickets sell out quickly after they went on sale.

But there’s always the secondary market. Except even on the secondary market, no one’s selling. Stubhub and CheapTickets.com shows no available tickets for the Tuesday night show. There’s four up for grabs on SeatGeek as of the publishing of this story — for $37 each. And a just one pair of general admission tickets, which originally sold for $14 a piece, went for $100 on eBay earlier today. Those tickets came from El Segundo, Calif., — where you’d basically have to leave your wallet (or at least its contents) to get ahold of them.

Of course, if you’re willing to shell out that kind of money, there are some tickets available on Craigslist. But again, few and far between. And all in that $100 a pair range.

There is always the option of traveling to see BNL. The band’s website shows availability for a show Monday in Central Park, Friday in Bethel, Saturday in Philadelphia or June 20 in Pittsburgh. Or head to Europe in September for shows in Cardiff, London, and Glasgow, among other places.

Fortunately, there’s plenty of other shows in Western New York to take in while  you’re waiting to cross to the other side of the pond.
