the wfe and i took in bon jovi earlier this week and when i bought the tickets back in whenver i went thru the amex pre-sale. I selected the best availible tickets and we wound up sitting in row 4 of the 200 level across from where the stage was. during the concert I noted several large blocks of seats where unoccupied, but yet the concert was sold out - so it would be nice to understand what went on there.
secondly, i think it would be nice if they were to start to disclose how many tickets are truly availible to buy.
i also wonder if these days there are a lot of amateur scalpers out there - regular folks who buy tickets with the intention of selling them at a profit (versus folks that are high volume "pro" scalpers - the guys who are also by the c-train platform at the dome).
Lastly, i too am stunned that Mumford and Sons sold out so quickly.
At the end of the day it is likely impossible to satiate the markets desire for certain acts.
