Would You Sell Your Body For Kraftwerk Tickets?

Opinion in favor of Yes por María-Wendoline Castro

Bearing in mind that black market prices for Kraftwerk's MOMA gig series are ridiculously high (the tickets almost literally flew out the box office door), we're all for a bit of naughtiness. The swingers couple aren't just looking for sex (or at least, that's what they say in their ad), so feeling and giving some love and renting a limo doesn't seem all that bad. We hook up with anyone who's up for it without asking anything in exchange, so at least in this case we'd get to hear “The Model” live on stage. Furthermore, men with pierced nipples, like on the photos attached to the ad, are always good for added value. So what's the problem?

Opinion in favor of No por Mario G. Sinde

The thing is, this kind of thing is called prostitution, here and anywhere else. Everybody is free to do whatever they want with their body, but are people really this cheap? I expected a bit more. Yes, the gigs are historical, and the setting is incomparable, but anyone who wanted to could have already seen Kraftwerk live, most likely including Florian Schneider, who won't be performing in at the MOMA. Naah, I would only let people feel me up if the stars would align and Boards Of Canada would play live. Now that's something I would like to see.
