Van Halen sucks for doing that and I won't ever see them again. Greedy fucks. Selling millions of records isn't enough for them? They obviously don't care if the fans who made them famous can't afford to see them anymore! Fuck'em. Stay in rehab you old farts!

I don't care either way. There's no way I'm paying what any of them want.

I agree that the artists should be the ones making the money – as much as supply-and-demand will generate for them. Perhaps it's time to revisit the approach that Pearl Jam tried and failed with years ago. Why can't a juggernaught like VH sell their own tickets without any middlemen? Why the need for shady back-room deals in the first place?

The whole situation concerning Ticketshafter and concert tickets in general throughout the years has increasingly disgusted concert goers. The members of Van Halen may or may not have had direct knowledge of this deal or any deal for that matter, that's why they hire a band manager to make business decisions for them. Unscrupulous cash-squeezing deals don't always surface until after the fact and are generally unknown to all parties involved. Don't judge these guys for this…that's all I have to say 'bout that….

Music is a business and nobody knows business better than DLR. The artists should be the ones who make the most money. The drawback is how it drives the ticket prices up for the concertgoers.

I feel exactly the same about ticketmaster after this…
