No, I don't care if someone (and I'm thinking of individuals here) purchased a ticket with the intention of re-selling it. I'll tell you that I am very lazy and I'd rather pay more for something than fool around with Ticketmaster.
But I do mind thinking that ticketmaster, its subsidiaries and the people involved with ticket sales are withholding tickets from the open market, channeling them to brokers and basically ensuring that the average fan (the one more diligent than I am) doesn't have a chance to get a good seat at face value. I mind thinking that the first 3 or 5 rows will
never be available on Ticket master, no matter how long I sit there and hit the "search again" button, because the powers that be have blocked them off. That gets under my skin.
