Prince, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, James Taylor and Dave Matthews are playing benefit shows for a school in East Hampton. Oh, and tickets will be priced at about $3,000 per show.

The series of shows are upsetting other high-end charity events in the area as they're taking away rich folks. Here's the scoop:

A summer concert series that would benefit the Ross School’s scholarship fund in East Hampton has created a stir on the charity benefit circuit, with some rival organizers worrying that the school’s event may overshadow their own.

Roused by a July concert by Aretha Franklin that brought in an estimated $1.3 million for its scholarship fund, the Ross School is planning a series of shows this summer with Prince, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, James Taylor, and Dave Matthews, according to East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill McGintee. The dates for the shows would be July 14 and 28 and August 4, 11, and 25.

As of Tuesday, the Ross School had yet to apply for a mass gathering permit from the town for the events. A permit would need to be secured at least three weeks before any event.

A for-profit California company is said to be promoting the series. Estimates are that a “passport” to attend all five concerts will be priced at about $15,000 per person. Diana Aceti, the Ross School’s director of development, declined to respond to a request for comment.
