I know they're good, but isn't $300.00 a pair on ebay too much?

    They have to pay for their skin cream and hair products somehow. ;)

    I sold my tickets on stubhub- I would look there if they are sold out.

    yeah - at the following prices lol:
    GA Floor 2 $350.00 each View Details
    GA GA 2 $411.00 each View Details
    FLOOR FLOOR 2 $586.00 each View Details


    they must be on crack and anyone who thinks about buying them should be shot...


    I'll keep checking...hopefully they come back into an acceptable orbit.

    The secondary ticket market is why they are so much $$$, the face value for the show here in Austin was about $40.00 after fees, it sold out and I didn't have any. I was lucky enough to find a pair on criaigslist for $100.00, people are selling them for $100.00 each on there.

    I remember back in the day (early to mid 80's) scalpers and ticket brokers would by "some" tickets to each show to make a good profit, now it seems whatever band is even just a little popular, they will buy as many tickets as they can to re-sell. It's just getting silly, I mean $300-$400 to see KOL give me a break, especially with the economy they way it is, people aren't going to pay that much.

    General Admission tix at the Warfield in SF were going for $70-85 each. They cost around $56 each after "convenience" charges.
