Then I went to Walmart and started making a stink. Do you Know what they pay for can openers? Then they sell them for a profit!!!!
Then I went to Taco Bell and gave the manager there a piece of my mind. They called the cops when I started screaming and throwing salsa packets.
Look. In a free market the buyer has no entitlement to buy what they want for the price they want. The buyer has the right to buy or not buy. The seller has the right to set a price that will move the product. All the belly aching and sob stories are ridiculous. IT'S A CONCERT. It's NOT FOOD or something else essential to survival. If you thing the prices are too high...DON'T GO.
My girls do not know that we are going yet but can't wait to surprise them with those much sought after tickets. I feel for those parents who desired so much to take their kids who were not able to somehow get tickets. I wish there were a way to put a stop to scalping or re-selling tickets. I am just excited to see my girls faces and see them hopefully having the time of their lives.
It makes me wonder what kind of historically clueless utterances Brad Pelo would have spewed forth if he were in another profession.
Such as ...
A headline writer: "Dewey beats Truman!"
A president: "I am not a crook!"
A current presidential candidate: "I had to run off the tarmac under sniper fire!"
A BYU women's head basketball coach: "I have personally decided to demote myself to the assistant coach position so that I can spend more time with my family."
A University of Utah head football coach: "They only have time for one last play. Let's drop 9 guys into pass coverage and leave Harline open!"
Hey, Pelo, there's a reason the phrase, "You can keep your mouth shut and have everyone think you a fool or you can open it and remove all doubt" is so timeless.
Just admit you were horribly overmatched by this task. You basically did that by refusing to state the number of tickets at the MC.

Based on demand, they should have set a realistic limit on the number of tickets being sold. During last year's World Series, fans could only buy 4 tickets per game, and the demand was still enough to crash all of the computers.
Season ticket holders able to login early were able to sell $90 tickets for $1600 a piece. Others able to buy box seats for $250/each were able to sell them for $5,000 - $10,000/each.
