Another nail in the coffin/VIP ans. on pg 4

Just went and played on the IM presale for Saratoga Springs to see what that deal is about VIP tickets for $150 (apiece, not a set). VIP = front 2 rows of the pit Regular = scattered throughout the orchestra level, ranging from row A - V, the closest row being approximately row 7. Niiiiiice. When I say "SELL" you say "OUT". I'm so over this... Can't wait to hear how it's not the band's fault.

"OUT" I ended up getting 2 tickets for row E. I hit 1 ticket instead of 2 and row A showed up at first. Oh well. Don't really care anymore. And I will be selling these tix unless I find a way to get there from Buffalo. I love when people bail out on you 10 minutes before presales. Today is awesome so far ...

| You wouldn't believe it! They're self hammering nails! I don't have to do shit! Just sit back and watch the band piss off the most loyal of their fanbase... And Rebecca, I'd take you myself, but it's probably not healthy to be confined to a car with me for 4 hours while I rant about all this stupidity.

And here's my favorite picture ever in the history of anything Goo related. Yeah, that's right. VIP GA. For $160. For a GA ticket and a poster.

Yeah. A poster. Which costs.... ummmmmmmmm... $0.12 cents to make. Maybe $1 if you expense a Sharpie for each one.

| Can I just say how I appreciate your choice of photo used? The "Ha ha, you suckers, I am ripping you off SO HARD" point and laugh. Excellent.

It's like this. The presale used to be a crap shoot where you might get first row or sixteenth row, but you were just paying the regular ticke price. If you got front row, hey, you got lucky! Now... the first couple rows are $150 per ticket. So it's no longer enough to be a member of the fan club and get lucky with your seats, you need to pay $150. The fallout on the IM is pretty fun though.
