Washington Post on ticket prices



Yes it's an article about the sale of N'Sync tickets, but it's a long and
in-depth look at how tickets are really sold, why they cost what they do and why
you can't get any.

Good paragraph:
"[T]he root cause of this and other ticket tussles is a simple matter of supply
and demand. Hoping to keep seats relatively inexpensive for its young fans, 'N
Sync and other groups set prices far below market value, which draws interest
from scalpers, who smell opportunity--and make sure that seats sell for their
actual worth."
