Last Thursday, the $125 tickets to the Second City alumni show sold out within 25 minutes.

"I have 12 Main Stage Tickets Available for sale for the Second City 50th Anniversary Alumni Show!" reads one rather detailed and slightly usurious post. "I got 4, my brother got 4 and my dad got 4. We decided we are selling all 12 of them and not going to go :-( But my loss is your gain!"

Well, and your $1800 gain. Lucky scalper.

The 50th anniversary event includes appearances by Jim Belushi, Betty Thomas, Bob Odenkirk; a "Saturday Night Live" confab with alums Horatio Sanz, Rachel Dratch and Tim Kazurinsky, and current "SNL" writer John Lutz; and a look back at Second City in the 1960s with Alan Arkin, Robert Klein, Fred Willard, Mina Kolb, Bernie Sahlins and Sheldon Patinkin.
