Just to play devil's advocate:
If you had a product for sale and you sold it for $100 and then went onto a
website like Ebay (or Stubhub) and you saw that same exact product being sold
by the person who bought it from you for $300-$500 (and the product sold)
wouldn't you say to yourself, well that's what the product is worth then. If
the
market will pay that much, then why aren't I charging that much?
I think these artists get sick and tired of seeing the scalpers make more
money per ticket then they do. And I don't blame them. If he sold these
tickets
for $100, don't you think some fool would buy them off Ebay for 3 times that?
Or maybe 5 times that? So why shouldn't that money go to the artist?
Just a different angle on it, that's all
Mike
PS - When I say "Some Fool" include me in that category... cause I've been
there and I've done that.
<Moderator: If that was 90% tickets sold I would totally agree with this
line of thinking, but this is more like 10-20% of the ticket sales.
Not everyone is willing to pay these prices. -Derek>
