STOP referring to the up front Who seats as being $500.  That is for the 
Hollywood Bowl only.  Most of the others are in the $200 range.  Maybe it's 
$500 once the brokers get a hold of them, so I have a solution.  DON"T PAY 
THE BROKERS!  Fuck em.  Get decent seats through ticketmaster for 75-100 
dollars and enjoy the show.  I got 21st row on Pete's side for the Gorge for 
$100.  I think that's pretty decent.  Boycott the brokers or push for 
ticketmaster to take steps to protect the fans.  How bout this?  A national 
law outlawing scalping.  Illegal to sell tickets to events above face value.
