Re: $500 for an up front ticket misleading

"...I have a solution.  DON"T PAY THE BROKERS!"

This is sensible.

"I got 21st row on Pete's side for the Gorge for $100.  I think that's 
pretty decent."

I had similar luck for Boston.

"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."

I thought you were a Republican!
I'm as knee-jerk, cry-baby, "wacko" liberal as they come but I think this is 
a terrible idea.  Caveat emptor, baby - especially in this case.  Look in 
your Limbaugh handbook for that one if you need to look it up.  It is there 
is large print, so even you can understand it.  It is central to 
conservative economic philosophy.

Concert ticket distribution may be a monopoly, but it is not a necessity.  
There is no need to regulate the brokers.  Refer to your first suggestion 
for the solution:  If you don't want to pay the price, don't buy the ticket.
