You are absolutely correct. I HATE  Ticketmonger. The only time I felt I 
did OK was when I went to the Marcus Amphitheater in Milwaukee to get 
tix. I was 42nd in line thanks to the lottery (bastards). I got mine 
after about 12 mins and I was still 2nd section back. At least there will 
be a lot of fellow listers there. I guess the only way to get a decent 
ticket is to go to a broker. Wish I could afford it (sigh).
