Now, I realize that it's people like me who allow artists, venues, and scalpers to charge such outrageous prices for concert tickets, but I just couldn't help it! I just couldn't reconcile sitting in the bleachers with the opportunity to be so close to the band.
Please tell me some of you have given in to your love of FM against your better judgement.
It's worth it right?

I was very vocal about the All Access thing. Mainly because it's FM doing the screwing. So, I won't do that.
And while I don't think it's fair that brokers already have tickets out there before some shows have even gone on sale, I have bought broker tickets three times now.
Except for one weird situation for a Stevie concert (too far toward the water in Jones Beach and lots of very tall people in my way--I think that was 5th row), it was SO worth it.
This last time was for front row in Philly just a month ago. I had been working really, really hard (working as in job work--not just ticket search work) and, one day, I simply had enough of checking on their weird version of ticketmaster (they used a different service--even worse than TM). I went and got tickets on a broker site. I never looked back and didn't regret it at all. It saved me a lot of aggravation and every time I got annoyed at work--I told myself I was working for a cause!
