C'mon give us a good reason why you wouldn't pay top dollar to see a band you love... hehe..

Auctions on Ebay get very high VERY quick!.. trust me, I know (this kid i know bought a Plastic- burger king style- Weezer watch for a big 75 dollas, and the auction was said to have started at 20 bucks- bastards!!!)

what would you say if you had a ticket starting at 15 dollars, and you end up gettin screwed by some jerk in a different state, and end up paying 250 bucks.. I think the rules on Ebay say you pretty much HAVE to buy what you win..I think.... now that sucks.........

The problem here isn't ebay here Jon, yes if you win an auction you have ot buy it... if it's too much money for you then don't bid. The problem is Ticketmaster sees these a-holes selling front row tickets on ebay for $500 or whatever when they bought it for $50. Ticketmaster says "Hey, I want a piece of that, let's cut out the middle man" so because ticketbastard wants some of that money you won't be able to buy tickets at the regular price anymore, it'll all be auctions.

And what I'm curious about is where does that extra $450 go? Right to ticketmaster? or do the artists get a cut?

right to ticketmaster. The artists get their 10% or whatever probably like they do on their record sales.
