I'm popping in here briefly to thank you, Bonnie and Irina, for this information and all the details provided. I don't have time this evening to read the articles and watch the documentary, but I am bookmarking this webpage so I can return to it when I have the time to give this real attention. I can tell that it's very important by the amount of space Bonnie's post has taken to include this information, so I will definitely give it my time and attention when I can. I just wanted to thank both of you for researching and presenting this. It will not be ignored.
It was good this was brought up again. People forget these things. Would like to do the math on the total tickets sold and for how much and if and when any real reimbursements were sent out by these secondary ticket sources. The video does not talk about the possibility of a concert not happening. Live Nation does this practice. I was told about it in 2008 by a concert promoter. With all the discussion abou the Internet's future, the US needs to address this. It's not much different than overbooking plane seats.
