The people who make the decisions on ticket pricing are scum and I don't particularly think much of the band for letting them do what they're doing! Everybody's quick enough to jump in and say, "Oh, the band don't have any influence over the promoters..." but that's absolute bollocks! If the band kicked up enough of a fuss over it, I can't see how the promoter can push it through.

I had plans to go to 5 or 6 shows this coming summer and even rescheduled our wedding date to accommodate the (predicted) June shows but if they're gonna be charging the sorts of prices that have been turning up on ticketbastard as of late, they can take a flying f**k! I'll happily boycott the bloody concerts cos I refuse to be held over a barrel by unscrupulous people hell bent on turning over an excessively disgusting profit at my expense. It's bad enough when scummy touts do it but it royally takes the p*** when face value prices for a single ticket represent almost two weeks wages!! F**k em - it'd be serves them right if they're playing to mostly empty venues!
