No problem for some.
Then why arent you going? Put your money where your mouth is.
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
Not sure I understand your post, but I got my 150GBP ticket through the facebook presale at TM. Absolutely (I mean, abso-absolutely) no scalper justification here.
All these complaints about ticketprices are so very very relative: in another thread others are hurraying for their victory of getting a ticket for just 350 pounds, and yet other people are calling the ABB pricing "normal"....
Man, is that where we should draw the line? Hell, why not going back to the good old 40GBP, or 4GBP?
Thats pretty good - still very few and far between though.
As to the last point - I dont think anyone other than the utterly delusional - is seriously suggesting they should be dirt cheap. Its not as black and white as that.
I wouldnt call the ABB pricing 'normal' myself - but for cheaper tickets it generally was. £400 for a nosebleed most certainly isn't - it's a pisstake.

Of course he's going! In fact, he's going ALL OUT!

Welcome to the 21st Century.
What the HELL are the Stones "best" at these days?
Oh yes... bending fools over and pulling their cash out through their bums.
Does it hurt, colonial?

Hm, my first post on the forum.
And I actually have to admit that I find these ticketprices a logical result of the screwed up capitalist/colonial
world we live in.
If they would have been lower, guess what wins the scalpers then would have? The only solution is named tickets+ID-access to venues.
PS: I actually managed to get a 150GBP ticket for sunday. Block 113, 3 rows up from the Keith-side. Somewhere else on the forum I read that 150GBP is considered normal ABB-pricing... pfff.

Yeah you 'managed' to get it - and good for you.
The fact that about 1% of the ticket buyers 'managed' to do that by playing a game of dare with a @#$%& up distribution system speaks volumes.
You can hardly compare that to just going on TM and paying £150 for a similar ticket.
People 'justifying' this as a way of detering ticket scalping is pretty screwed up. Are we supposed to feel better knowing that the 'good' side of a ticket being tripled in face value in a recession means that they'll be easier to get (which they werent really, anyway)? How about making the system more fan-friendly instead of purely 'band's wallets friendly'?
"The only solution is named tickets+ID-access to venues" = then do it.
Guess what? They won't, because it means they'll be able to gouge you for a little less than they are already.

After reading the messages I come to the conclusion that Colonial made a joke
, because as it seems that he doesn't go he doesn't have a problem with ticket prices. right colinial???
Even if the prices would have been in the ABB level or even if they would have increased slightely the tricky computer software of the scalpers/aga/ticket agencies have such an impact to purchase the tickets that we would still stay out and left in the dust of upper levels only. So prices would be with or without such high face value way up in the attic.
