    Will the market not bear a $200 ticket price? :flow2:

    That's the problem with the false concept of "price gouging."

    If someone charges more than the market will bear, the buyers don't buy and the seller is left without customers, or must lower his prices.

    What is that about a fool and his money?

    Looks like there aren't that many fools in Rome. Makes me proud to be Italian.

    Uh, the article says nothing about how many tickets were sold and now have to be refunded. I somehow doubt that Rome isn't full of idiots just like everywhere else. Certainly protesting ticket prices for a concert you have no interest in going to is idiotic.

    They would hate Ticketmaster over there.
    Of course, I hate Ticketmaster over here, so we're good.

    I felt bad enough forking out £15 for the missus & I to watch the old trout in Meet the Fokkers, a movie I had absolutely no comedic reaction whatsoever to (she liked it, go figure).

    I just don't want Babs to try to make me an offer she thinks I can't refuse. There are things scarier than The Family.

    Telling that the Stones outsell her. :lol:

    Sorry, best you could expect from me is to give me tickets I can sell and pocket the money.
    Yep, 'bout it.
