If they at least do the platinum tickets "will call" like Mick did that will discourage the ticket brokers a little.

does't the band get the cut from scalpers too?

yeah Mick is always accused of being greedy, but it's actually like this last year he was the least greedy one. other band members just collected the scalper sales profits without having to move their little finger.

i remember some list recently where they were listing bands that made the most money on tour last year and FM's average price was like $242 which was higher than their face value prices anywhere. i thought i read there they were calculating in scalper sites prices. or was that just with platinums calculated in?

NIN's fan will call tickets are setup so that you collect your ticket and you are immediately ushered into the venue through a separate entrance, you can't go back out and give your ticket to someone else. that's not how Mick's are, at least not last year.

Even so, just having to show id and pick it up a few hours before the concert keeps scalping low. Yes, you can still sell it to someone else, but it's not the same as Stubhub just going in and buying up panels of tickets.

It's all just so frustrating not to know the details before they go on sale. Then panic sets in as soon as they go on sale and before you know it they sell out of VIP tickets! smh
