They have. On the open market (ebay), through the 2 for 1 offer, through the upgrades, through the recent price reductions.

It's an extremely unfair system they have got going. They simply want to save face by taking people from the upper sections (where you can't see the empty seats) down to the floor seats.
The one thing I am genuinely pleased about about the upgrades is that they seem to have been giving them away to the people with the worst seats - most likely long time fans who have been priced out. It shows *some* respect to the idea that it's not all about money - Charlie finding the Golden Ticket!

There were *always* going to be reduced price tickets for this run, through ebay if nothing else. Bon Jovi ain't Michael Jackson. I'm not sure how anyone can act surprised that tickets have come down in price. Let alone get pissed off at fans who have been lucky enough to have the thrill of getting close.
