"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Annoying.
Notice I didn't make my own thread, I found one that was marginally appropriate and posted.
I've noticed the same thing.
How many threads do we need asking about g.a.?
When you see these "instant sellout" shows, more often than not the majority of the ticket inventory was sold to scalpers and TM affiliates prior to the sale in order to A) promote the idea that it is a "hot ticket" and get some promo out of it and (more importantly) - so the bands make more $$ from the shows without appearing to gouge their fans directly.
The TM "fees" that everyone bitches about? Negotiated by the bands. TM takes a small cut, but whenever you see a ridiculous ticket "fee", blame the band, they are hiding their greed behind TM and TM happily takes the heat. Nobody wants to blame their favorite band (not looking at PJ here, just in general) for being greedy pricks, but that is more often than not the main reason you cant score great tickets to shows anymore.
Anyone who waits for the public onsale date for a show is already screwed. Majority of tickets are allocated to fan clubs, credit card sponsors, venue sponsors/advertisers and sold well before the general on-sale date.
Thank God for 10C, at least we have a decent shot at great seats before anyone else.
This shit has become a joke.
