Concert ticket prices suck!

[FLvamp]

Just as an example, check out these published prices for U2 concert tickets (http://mypoints.stubhub.com/?event_id=144030) in October in Dallas, TX.

If you want to get really pissed, scroll all the way down to the most expensive. :1madrealm

Vampie,

Isn't that site a ticket brokerage?
While I agree ticket prices, in general, are outrageous, brokers/scalpers have always been rip offs.

I remember paying over $50 a ticket for nose bleed seats to see Billy Joel @ Nassau Coliseum in 198X. The face value was around $18 at the time.

Tool, you are correct.

Here's the Ticketmaster site (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0C003A59B65C6B4C?artistid=736365&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1) for the same show.

U2 prices in particular are just UNREAL- I was going to get a pair from a broker to see them up here in Boston, but I was able to get tickets from ticketmaster for the Dallas show, and it's cheaper to fly to Dallas for the weekend than to get --good tickets-- here from a broker. Complete madness.
