That’s the magic of David’s legacy.” Tickets are $25, with various bundles including merch and a virtual hang ranging from $50 to $5,000; $2 from each purchase will benefit Save the Children, which Bowie raised money for at this fiftieth-birthday concert at Madison Square Garden on January 9, 1997.
