If more people had had the common sense to realise they were being ****ing ripped off, the prices would have come down a whole lot sooner.

What a load of rubbish!
The reason they have reduced the price is because they realised they were literally giving away upgrades.
These tickets are still available because there are so many dates being played.
If they charged these prices and played only 4 nights you can guarantee that it would be 100% sold out.
No-one is being FORCED to buy cheap seat tickets - only the people who are going 5/6 times.
Think about it - you could pay 5 x £50 and sit in the crap seats, or go once and get the best in the house.
Yes, we are being ripped off, but at the end of the day I don't spend £50 per weekend going out on the town, so I can justify spending it on once in a lifetime seats.
Personally, I think we're entitled to whinge and whine if we've paid that much for a seat and then someone gets a FREE upgrade from a £50 ticket!!!
Put it another way - if I got to a venue at 4am and queued all day, I'd expect to be front row for the effort put in.
I am then incredibly entitled to be angry if the doors open and the front rows are taken by people who showed up 20 mins before the doors open.
We realised on Saturday night that the liklihood of getting free upgrades on the 26th is incredibly small. Therefore I've gone and spent £430 on 2 tickets (which it turns out are incredible) for the 19th. Yes, there are lots of things I could also do with that money - but what the hell, you only live once.
Oh and yes, pit prices HAVE gone down.
Rows A & B were £450 each - and they are now down to £110!
I can now get Row F in A3 for £110 per ticket instead of the £215 we paid.
If I had booked the tickets 6 months ago, fair enough, no reason to moan.
However, we booked them on Sunday and TM decided to reduce the price 48 hours later.
