Yes, ticket prices are way too high on this tour, except for the few GAs. A lot of ticket brokers and scalpers are in on it, and people with the money don't care about the fact that, when they buy from them, they are encouraging them. This leads to less hardcore fans in the concerts and people standing in line for tickets with the sole purpose of making money off of U2.
Now, they don't want to listen, but let me take care of someone for you.
NoControl, I gotta say BCRT2000 is right, in my humble opinion, about the biggest band in the world being an opinion. That stuff changes all the time, anyway. There's no use attaching any value to it.
Now, NoControl, you do bring up some interesting points. Tell you what I think: I encourage you to develop that opinion of yours more and try to prove it. I think that you have a good mind and you certainly have fire to bring what you believe out, for everyone to see, but it's very obvious that you have to butt heads, here. Let that topic rest in this thread. Go out and try to articulate what you feel better, if it still holds up to your research and then start your own thread about it. I can tell you, don't let yourself be suppressed easily, and I think you're also polite enough so that it doesn't create a sufficient problem to ban you.
But, let me tell you something about the administration, here. This forum is privately owned and thus they have the right to run it arbitrarily, if they so desire. I've read the rules and regulations and I can't say it resembles democracy. However, the guys here are kind-of alright, until now. When you see me banned, however, you know there was a serious problem
Currently, I'm looking around for another forum. I haven't had any luck yet. But I'm looking for something that supports like a really open flow of communication, and only takes out the very obstructive obstacles. You and me, we should probably be on another forum. However, until we are, we'll play by the rules, right
Yes, ticket prices for this tour are TOO HIGH! U2 are a very big band and they should act their size. It's gotta be stadia, regularly, in my opinion. Go figure where high ticket prices come from. Demand outstrips supply.
