Ya know I was looking into buying tickets for a concert, only to find they were sold out, of course. Yet I could find number of places online that were selling anywhere from 10-30 tickets with a 300% mark up. With the latest RIAA file sharing hassles, how is it that they let some random middleman make all this extra cash on concert tickets. I wouldn't mind paying $150 a ticket if I knew it was going directly in the bands pocket, but to pay $150 and know that 100-120 bucks is going in some random middle mans pocket just pisses me off. Maybe fans should start fighting for decent concert ticket pricing!
