I have a hard time complaining about U2 ticket prices when scalpers are
getting from 2 to 10 times face on eBay. If the guy in the seat ends up
paying $150 for the ticket, I'd rather the $ go to the band than a scalper.
There is more nuance here than I have time for so forgive the bluntness of
the post. If I went to see U2 at Madison Square Garden for $150, well, no
joke, I'd probably be sitting in a seat that would cost the same (or more)
for a Knicks game. And which would I rather see?
