Jenny Lind’s first concert was fixed to come off at Castle Garden, on Wednesday evening, September 11th, and most of the tickets were sold at auction on the Saturday and Monday previous to the concert. John N. Genin, the hatter, laid the foundation of his fortune by purchasing the first ticket at $225. It has been extensively reported that Mr. Genin and I are brothers-in-law, but our only relations are those of business and friendship. The proprietors of the Garden saw fit to make the usual charge of one shilling to all persons who entered the premises, yet three thousand people were present at the auction. One thousand tickets were sold on the first day for an aggregate sum of $10,141.

白话
珍妮·林德首场音乐会定在9月11日周三晚上，在城堡花园举行，大部分票在之前周六和周一拍卖。帽商约翰·吉宁花225美元买下第一张票，由此发家；巴纳姆澄清两人只是朋友和生意伙伴，不是姻亲。拍卖入场要一先令，仍来了三千人，第一天卖出一千张票，共得10141美元。这说明制造稀缺和话题能推高价格：把“第一张票”变成有象征意义的商品，让买家既得面子又得广告效应。今天做限量发售时，可以设计一个有故事的首号或首件，吸引愿意为象征价值买单的人。
