TM not only owns and operates Ticketsnow, they have also started offering the "premium tickets" in their marketplace. Sure, someone who has purchased tickets and wants to sell them can list them there. But just recently, it's a new tab right next to the box office tab. And most of the tickets for the first five rows are listed there for a premium price.
I wonder whether the bands condone this. If so, they should just be up front and say tickets in the first five rows are $300 each, the rest of the floor is $150, etc. They also change the tickets listed every few days. I'm sure they're trying to make people think they've sold so they panic and buy whatever premium tickets are left. But the first row center always pops up again. Which means it's available. And will be closer to the show unless someone decides to pony up their outrageous asking price.
I'll take my chances.
