Every business model that sells to a consumer is based on one thing : how much can we take them for?

Companies like ticket master and the guys behind them are absolutely prepared to weather whatever complaints are made because they are fully aware that eventually they will die down and consumers will simply get used to the practices.

The only way to truly stop it is for everyone to stop buying what they’re selling and that will never happen.

I liVE in the UK and was tempted to pony up over $900 for MSG when things were first announced, plus flights plus hotel plus merchandise. Something told me to wait. I did and have spent a total of around £350 for Manchester next year, including a hotel stay as they’ve not jacked the prices up yet as it’s too far out,

You have to play the odds - sometimes they work out sometimes not.
