I received an email from Ticketmaster when tickets for how local show went on sale, and I was just curious how well they were selling, so I logged in. There were still plenty left, but they were selling much better than I was expecting... but then I noticed the prices. $60 for lawn and $200-$500 for pavilion seating. But then I noticed the front 2 rows, $4k-$5k... and they were almost all sold out.

This has to be a money laundering scheme, right? No one is actually paying that to see Kid Rock, right?

Ticketmaster is a vile company. More than likely this is manufactured scarcity to drive ticket sales for a washed up has-been that no one cares about.
