I refused to buy at this outrageous price…it would be my second missed tour since 1978 (I would not go to broadway for $750 either). Luckily I have been to scores of shows…I am just disappointed that this is where we all end up
I don't see how you can say it removes the resale market. All those ticket resalers still got tickets and if they don't than someone else has. All this has done is put a huge price increase on an item in demand.
I'll give you an example, let's say Amazon has most of these tickets for sale so they put up 10 of them for 500.00 each. Now the resalers know that price if you were a resaler would you sell it for $300.00 of course not. This artificially raised prices from the get go. I'd love to know the actual number of Virtual Fan offers that went out. This entire set up reeks of fraud.
At least in the past it was all transparent and everyone had the same chance.
Let's see what happens when Philly goes on sale?
