Sad that it's come to this.
Once the mega-outlets like Ticketmaster gained control of nationwide ticket sales, it was all over for the fans who put these acts on the map in the first place. Why do these places even exist? Why can't we just go a venue's web site and buy tickets for a show? Nobody seems to know...
Bob Dylan had an interesting approach for a recent show at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, CA. There were no pre-sales whatsoever...if you wanted to see the show, you showed up at the box office on the day of the show and bought your tickets from an actual human being. What a novel idea...
