Also, when you say they raised the prices, do you mean tickets in general. Or that fanclub tickets are now higher priced than Ticketmaster? If the later, how much higher?
As far as I could tell - there were no safety features in place except for the fact that you could not buy multiple tickets for the same night. You could certainly buy tickets for multiple nights - easily. Their servers crashed the first night they did this and I wound up with multiple tickets in my shopping cart which I could not delete. They would have been happy to sell all of them to me. Fortunately - the same tickets were still in my basket when the server came back up and I was able to delete those that I didn't want.

And yes - the prices were a little higher than ticketmaster. I think the ticketmaster prices for the best seats were around $350.00 and the fan club tickets were $375.00. They could argue that they were the best seats in the house but if you are short like I am and you get stuck in the 15th row on the floor - you are not going to see much.
