Who in their right mind would pay $23000 for 4 ga tickets? I mean you're not even guaranteed to get to the front . What a joke.

    Look at it this way, if they sell that person made a considerable amount of money and can pay student loans or whatever, if they don't they still get to see an incredible show. Win win right?

    yup. someone will millions (or billions) of dollars isn't going to give two craps about 23000.

    It'd be like me buying a ticket for a dollar :)

    There'll be no student loans paid, its a ticket broker. Looks like 10 club tickets too, ga and day of show will call only.

    Judging by their last "full tour" the opposite happens. Ignoring areas for so long really put a dent in the amount of seats they sold.

    I'm sure they'd rather it didn't happen, but there are further measure they could be taking if it affected them that much.

    I hope I can find a decent price outside the venue. All other avenues have failed.

    don't kid yourself - they didn't pay for the tickets that they were given, and gaurenteed they will probably be in a small roped off section either stage side or near the front with a bunch of other celebrities/friends of the band....

    must be nice...
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    At PJ20 someone offered me $5k for my two 3rd row and center night 1 seats who was something like 23rd row far to the left of stage and I turned them down. He pretty much pulled out a wad of cash in an envelope and said name your price! He said he also had good pavilion seats for the following night, but I wasn't sure so said no. I've had no regrets about it either, it was an amazing night. But anyway, no way would I pay that kinda cash for a ticket!

    I'm proud of you, but I can hear the silence of the people thinking "Oh my God, I soooo would have taken that money. Oh the debt that could have been paid."
