Tickets for the old guy's first tour in 15 years are not on sale until tomorrow, but Tickets Now is selling them already and for outrageous prices. The tickets have a face of $90 to $200, but are going on TicketBastard's subsiduary for between $500 and $800 plus a service charge that can range up to $150. The CEO of the venue in Hamilton, Ontario called TicketBastard on this one and then went to the media. They pulled the Hamilton tickets off the site but are still selling them for the other Canadian concerts. TicketMaster=(gall+greed) to the nth degree.
In Dallas, the only game that really mattered was in the word gamelan.
