I don't know, I think this is what ticket sales are going to be like in the future, I mean they can't argue against Bruce because he's one of the biggest concert draws right now but smaller acts won't be able to fight against Ticketmaster especially if they merge with Live Nation. Pearl Jam tried it years ago and lost.
I honestly don't remember having such trouble getting tickets as little as 10 years ago, now even shows you wouldn't expect to sell out do and it's all because of sites like eBay and Tickets Now. I realise some people here think that's all fine and dandy, the right to sell your ticket to the highest bidder and all that, but I think it's sad. Real music fans are losing out because now they can't afford tickets that, if sold at face value, they should be able to afford.
