This is whats driving me nuts about the whole situation... since nothing is being done with all other paths, lets blame the band! ARGHHH
This article asks fair questions of the band and management. This band has been around a long time. They know the score. As such, they could have prevented the scalping 10 different ways if their number one intention was to put face value tickets in the hands of ardent fans. They chose not to. There is no better evidence of this then allowing the sale of platinum tickets. The band wanted to assure shows sold out, while still giving fans a shot at face value tickets. There is no doubt in my mind their compensation factored into the structure of these sales. Am I mad about it. No. The band has earned the right to structure the sale of their shows however they choose. They deserve to make as much money as they can. They owe me nothing more than the chance they gave me through three different presales and a general sale.
