They work hand n hand with Ticket "BROKERS" (Legal SCALPERS, I call them) It is WELL known that before Joe Public can get tickets, Ticketmaster has already sold the top 20-25% tickets to Brokers. I saw VERY VERY clear evidence of that when U2 came to Jacksonville 24 years ago. I bought "The best available" within 1-2 minutes of the tickets going on sale. They were EXPECTING a HUGE turnout but NOBODY bought tickets (It was the Pop Mart Tour.....LAAAAME, IMO!!) The stage was in the South end zone and we were at the 20 yard line closer to the other end zone. Seats were taken up to about midfield but from midfield to right next to the stage (10yard line) there was NOT a seat filled. Brokers had those and NOBODY was dishing out $300+. It all REALLY showed what crooks Ticketmaster is. Thing is...These days, EVERYTHING goes through those A HOLES!
