fuck.. 120 for the tickets, then another $65 for stupid "charges" like the facility charge and the convenience charge. that's so fucking underhanded. they should really just include those charges into the ticket prices.
i can't believe i just paid that much. and lawn seats no less!

I got 2 tickets for seats halfway back from the stage and off to the left. I'm satisfied. $148 including all the stupid shipping/security/facility/ticketbastard fees.

I don't know about you guys, but two summers ago I was pissed when I tried to get a couple 30 dollar Radiohead tickets at the Hollywood bowl only to find out that the show sold out in 2 minutes. I'm pretty sure a large chunk of those buyers were scalpers because so many companies whic called themselves "Ticket Merchants/Middlemen/etc" (fancy official-looking way of saying asshole scalper with no soul) were selling them on ebay with an extra 100 dollars tacked on to the price.
I found a pretty satisfying and effective way to combat the scalpers last summer. I still paid my 220 bucks but I got even with a lotta scalpers.
On Ebay, set up about 10 fake accounts.. or as many as you can. If you see ticket bids ending a day or two before the concert. BID on them. Set your max bid as something unGODLY so you know you won't lose. Then a day or two before the concert when the bidding ends.... just keep the seller hanging. Don't respond when he starts beggings for payment.
Then finally the day before or of the concert... send him a big ol "FUCK YOU" in his Ebay Message box. By that time... he's in total desperation to sell the tickets he shafted everyone else on. Odds are he'll wait a day or so for you and he'll miss plenty of good offers on the tickets. If he tries to offer them to the next highest bidders... odds are they already got tickets somewhere else. The stupid ass scalpers might actually have to get off their lazy asses and go to the venues to sell them by hand.
When I did this, I got tons of messages on ebay from the sellers cursing me out.
I loved every second of it.
Stick it to the scalpers. If we can get thousands of people doing this... imagine all the money the scalpers loose.
This week.. I'm going to set up dozens of ebay accounts and hand them out to you guys.. anyone with me?

People are actually BIDDING for PIT tickets for 200 bucks a piece on Ebay
I can't fucking believe this shit
Radiohead should have done a tour of FOOTBALL stadiums.. shit. They've been at the ampitheateres forever. I guess they haven't gotten the hint that they can fill rolling-stones sized stadiums now.

Anyone know scalping laws in virginia? I want to report everyone selling tickets for radiohead to ebay if they're doing it illegally, technically.

I'm pretty sure you can scalp for up to face value - but charge anything you want for "shipping". Something like that.

Scalpers who do that shit should be strapped down and have red hot bamboo splinters shoved under their fingernails and red hot glass dildos slammed up their shitboxes.
