Ticket Bastard - something has to be done!

I did ok on tickets for Seattle. I set a budget where I wasn't going to go higher than the second lowest price point. I got 2 ADA tickets 4 rows behind the stage for the money I was willing to pay. Those tickets are actually pretty good because Bruce plays a lot to the people behind the stage. The money wasn't out of line, probably equivalent of the upcoming Cure dates. I agree the price points above what I got were out of line. He's not alone though. Look at what tickets were going for the tour the Stones just did in Europe. To me, it's not even the Stones anymore without Charlie Watts. Keith & Ronnie are both in serious decline in regards to their playing & Mick just shouts rather than sing a lot of the time. I wish they would retire before they really embarrass themselves. I've really taken a stand about nostalgia shows. I'm not going to see anyone anymore if they don't have valid new material. Had enough of bands living on past glories.

I honestly can't see how they can get away with this sort of thing.
Not one of their arguments makes any sense at all. All they're doing is finding another way to rip people off.

I've got my popcorn out for this morning's Madonna presale - the number of packages and seating plan is ridiculous.

Glad I saw her when she was still vaguely human

At the time, I didn't much like the whole queue up for umpteen hours outside a bricks and mortar ticket office, but in hindsight, they were the halcyon/ best days. And when you paid your money, you got an actual ticket there and then

Madonna is an utter rip off. She'll probably play for only and hour or less if she's late.
