  1. Originally posted by SJKamal:I understand the fees are more than the tickets itself but is it really that obsessive? The fees work out around $22 per person. $43 all in for a ticket isn't bad.
    It's not quantitative, it's qualitative. The ticket vendor charging more for the fees than the band for the ticket is absolutely surreal, regardless if the tickets are $20 or $600
  2. "We had final say in our ticket pricing for this upcoming tour, and didn't want those prices instantly and horribly distorted by resale," Smith commented ahead of the ticket sale. He later noted, "We didn't agree to the dynamic pricing / price surging / platinum ticket thing, because it itself is a bit of a scam? A separate conversation."

    You hear that BRUCE!!! Pearl Jam and every other big touring act!! Seeing PJ and Bruce agree to platinum tickets and then shrugging their shoulders like they have no choice was extremely disappointing.

    The Cure are really making others look like, excuse my language, greedy twats.

    Yes... or the others really don't care of their fans.
    But TM is doing TM anyway with charging more on fees than on ticket itself...

  10. Bought 2 tickets for 50 Cent earlier at £80 a pop. Cheapest were £60. GA was £97. Mid range seats were £130-£150 and if you wanted to be close to the stage you have to fork out £230 for the VIP package.
