    I’d just be angry Coldplay was in town.

    It’s almost pointless to try to go to concerts anymore. Deftones is coming in a few months. I tried to buy tickets about 5 minutes after they went on sale. Already at that point, half of the arena was up for ‘resale’.

    I chose a couple of seats that hadn’t yet been touched. In the few seconds it took me to decide, it let me know they were no longer available. I refreshed, and saw they were now up for resale for +50% or so.

    Don’t count on Ticketmaster to stop this. Why would they, when they get a cut of the resale? Regulation is needed, and fast.
