I hope they don't sell out till I get my final arrangments made, so I can buy mine!! I'm thinking the Toledo show.

scalpers and ticket brokers (i.e. legal scalpers) are the scum of the earth.

OMG that is so fuckin ridiculous.. it is The Police revisited... no matter how much i love Melon (there is no band that will ever surpass it in my books), and i dont want to sound like belittling the band, but prices should not be even half of that... Being realistic, in terms of popularity, the prices shouldnt be that high, it is appauling... I saw Pearl Jam on the floor for less than half that, and they are significantly more world reknown than BM... John Butler Trio for a quarter of that... Same with Silverchair... If Zeppelin reforms they would probably sell them for less than that... I reckon the band should be able to have a say on the prices, because it is the venues who take advantage of customers... they must be kidding...

I just checked ticketmaster and you can still buy a ticket there for $19.40 mailed. $120 Thats a 600% mark up! What a bunch of jackasses.

The idiots at the Canal Room obviously realised that they werent selling tickets at $150 yesterday so they think they will be able to at $120... i dont think so, they are going to have to come down much further... It is nice to know however that the original price was $19.40, so it is good to know how much these venue guys shift around prices for greater profits... We Melonheads are not made of money... Here is Aus, we have set prices, the only fluctuating ones are the scalpers on ebay...

The first link in this thread is for a ticket broker...basically, a 'legal scalper' here in the US. Those ticket scalpers went to Ticketmaster and bought a bunch of Blind Melon tickets. They are hoping that the show will sell out and they'll be able to (legally) re-sell them for more money later. The Canal Room is not changing the prices at all. They have been selling the tickets for $19.40 mailed from the beginning, and they are still selling them for $19.40 mailed.
