Yup totally agree with you. I had some dilemma when I booked tickets for the Pru and decided to pay over the odds for a ticket within the first 15 rows and an on stage pass. I'm still not sure I did the right thing but this is a "one off" trip and I wont be doing it for every tour.

Still don't know how UK ticketing will be managed but I think the day of FC members getting in before GA are long gone, if they think they can make money out of it they will.
