Quick, Before the Phantom Disappears: Can the sizzling black-market ticket prices for “Phantom of the Opera” get any hotter? Yes, if the tickets are for Michael Crawford’s final performances. In one Times Classified ad Tuesday, tickets for Crawford’s last date as the phantom on April 29 were offered at $1,500 each. Four were available, and they were listed as good orchestra seats. Compared to that, another ad offered Crawford last-day tickets at a bargain basement price, two balcony seats at $500 a piece.
