The strange world of tickets...

[tsumik]

I must have the best luck or something. I was looking for when the next opera/symphony performances were this season and decided to look to see what bands and such are playing in Atlanta the next few days. I noticed Gwen Stefani and Black Eyed Peas are playing next week, so I go to ticketmaster and check to see how much tickets are. A set of seats come up that are sort of off the side of the stage for $60 bucks each. I think that's not too bad so I buy two of them. Then to satisfy the catlike curiousity in myself I search again. And again. And again. I try like 8 times with it coming back with no tickets. That's strange I think to myself. So I go looking on craigslist and various tickets sites. Those $60 a ticket seats are selling on sites that have them for $155 per ticket in the location I'm in.
Now that's just mad. And the crazy part is someone is going to be willing to buy them at that price. I can only imagine what front and center floor seats must go for. But in either case should make for a fun time to go check something out that's not techno music at a nightclub. Seeing Def Leppard with househead made me realize I need to go check out more diverse musical acts while I have the chance.

So... Anyone got $60 and wants to see Gwen Stefani and Black Eyed Peas next week Tuesday at 7:30? :)
