 I'm still thinking about it i think the hype about the economy is just that, hype so take 'the economy' out of the equation simply put, is $77 of your income a priority for Lotusflow3r or is it better spent elsewhere. period | |

I started a "Prince Account" why back when there were just rumors about a new album, thinking new album means new tour....I now have a little over $300 just waiting on his next move. Money's alway tight, but you gotta have priorities, man!!! LOL | |

I'm probably going to do it, although I have doubts that it will be worth it.

Trent Reznor posted this
The ticketing marketplace for rock concerts shows a real lack of sophistication, meaning this: the true market value of some tickets for some concerts is much higher than what the act wants to be perceived as charging. For example, there are some people who would be willing to pay $1,000 and up to be in the best seats for various shows, but MOST acts in the rock / pop world don't want to come off as greedy pricks asking that much, even though the market says its value is that high.
They could have (and can right now) stop the secondary market dead in its tracks by doing the following: limit the amount of sales per customer, print names on the tickets and require ID / ticket matches at the venue. We know this works because we do it for our pre-sales. Why don't THEY do it? It's obvious - they make a lot of money fueling the secondary market. TicketMaster even bought a re-seller site and often bounces you over to that site to buy tickets (TicketsNow.com)!
We are leaving money on the table here but it's not always about money.
.
Being completely honest, it IS something I've had to consider. If people are willing to pay a lot of money to sit up front AND ARE GOING TO ANYWAY thanks to the rigged system, why let that money go into the hands of the scalpers? I'm the one busting my ass up there every night. The conclusion really came down to it not feeling like the right thing to do - simple as that My guess as to what will eventually happen if / when Live Nation and TicketMaster merges is that they'll move to an auction or market-based pricing scheme - which will simply mean it will cost a lot more to get a good seat for a hot show. They will simply BECOME the scalper, eliminating them from the mix.
Don't buy from scalpers, and be suspect of artists singing the praises of the Live Nation / TicketMaster merger. What's in it for them?
I checked out the LIVE NATION web site and they actually have a "live" JAVA seating chart that shows what seats are available for some venues. So pick the seats you want and get ready to EBAY it. Tortillas and frijoles for months in exchange for one night of musical artistry? Now it makes sense to me why the STONES, MADONNA, etc. charge up to $450 for tix...they are PRICKS according to Trent...No! They just know like Trent that you will pay if want it bad enough Some bands charge right now to get the "best" seats by joining their fan-club while [NIN} and other bands are free. At present, five foot man will be charging $77 which gets you a t-shirt, AVOIDING scalplers? and other stuff...doesn't sound so bad now seat auctions are coming | |

Not I, said the little piggy. I've got bills to pay. We are stardust. We are golden.
