This was NOT Ticketmaster, this is why they sued Ticketmaster. They have complete control over this price and the revenue. 

That's not exactly how it works.   Band gets offered a gaurantee by the promoter (organization that runs the show), they discuss how that revenue is going to made, band gives the ok, and then it's up to the promoter to make enough money to pay the band and make some profit.   Band isn't involved in the day to day of picking the individual prices for seats, but they do sign off on things like use platinum tickets overall.

Your problem is generally that you bought a platinum (aka PJ premium) ticket.   Never buy platinum tickets.  They're offered at most concerts now. 

How come you didn't use your 10c membership to buy tickets?  You're posting on the 10c board, which means you could of easily had face value tickets for the show?

Looks like they just signed up this week, that’s why 10c wasn’t used. With PJ tickets, you better be on the ball when that lottery comes out, or next chance to catch them in your town is seven years later

Your comment is true, and I realize you are replying to a rookie, however, this band does things much differently than almost every other artist. 

If we look at every other artist not named Taylor, we will likely see a range of prices starting at maybe 90 bucks and every price in between that and going up to maybe platinum $800 for the best seats. For those of us in the Northeast, the choices here are win the lottery for 180 bucks or you’re stuck paying $800 $1000 $2000, and that is 100% the bands doing. Underpricing tickets within a private lottery works wonders for those broker and platinum tickets that make it to the general public..

 in the northeast there is zero in between, unless you win the lottery or get lucky with fan the fan which is essentially the same thing.

 there’s no market for $300 tickets, there’s no market rate for $400 tickets, there’s no market for $600 tickets, either win the lottery for  $180 or are you stuck paying $900 …$1000 …$1500…$2000 whatever they feel like when making up the price.

That's brutal.  I feel fairly fortunate that I grew up going to a lot of shows in Vancouver.  It's a city, but it's not a megacity like many of the big ones in the US, and there aren't really any big cities around it.  Seattle, then Portland, Calgary maybe? So the demand wasn't as insane.   There was even a substantial difference trying to get tickets for Vancouver shows vs. Seattle shows (for PJ or other bands) because Seattle is a fair bit bigger.

I couldn't imagine living in the NorthEastern USA where there's so many big cities, and they're all in fairly close distance to each other, making demand for tickets a lot crazier.

I do wonder why bands play MSG (I guess it's history) instead of bigger venues.   Competing with 28 million people to an Arena concert seems like an uphill battle to me.

So glitchy today. Plenty of tickets just hanging around after they are sold or unable to be sold.
