There was a news item I read this morning about Ticketmaster's computers being unable to sell any Springsteen tickets, and linking to another branch of Ticketmaster which specializes in selling tickets at inflated prices.

I ask you...do you for one minute think that Ticketmaster said, "Let's see, we can sell tickets for normal price, or feign a problem and sell them for four or five times the normal price. Yeah, let's sell them at regular price."

Not a chance. Ticket selling is out of fucking control in this country. Just another scam to bleed the consumer. I don't know why they bother to put a regular price on tickets anymore, because you can't buy them at face value or anything remotely close to it.
