Ticket-Hogs deserves to live in Oprah's bum

Well about 10 minutes ago I wasnt too angry today at anything. My interview with Tennis Canada went surprisingly well and I didnt have to make myself feel like a turd by working at retail, so I was going to just not rant but, but, but Who the Hell do the dick-faced-mother-kissing-dogball-liking-HIV-hopefully getting people think they are for putting $15 dollar concert tickets onsale for over $130/pair on ebay. The Arcade Fire. Montreal band, huge HUGE here. 3 shows 3 nights. Sold out in an hour, all three from what I hear. Their shows are legendary and the venue this time holds 700 so 2100 could feesibly see them. But no, some dickheads have to buy heaps of tickets quickly and not just make an extra buck but rape my wallet if I want to go. The big thing is that the Arcade Fire like to have cool shows and keep the vibe nice and the ticket prices low, hence this quote from a band member who responded to somebody who was not happy about the $20 Toronto show:

"Haven't posted in a while, but the reason for the price is Lees is free to book and most bigger venues are really expensive...we wanted to play somewhere nicer than a big rock club and you wouldn't believe the expenses. Our CD releases was at a church with pews, and you can still stand up and move around...it is hard once you start getting into bigger venues to ballance niceness and cost...It is very easy to be in a situation where you are playing to 2 times as many people and making less money because of costs. oh well..." Win.

These scalpers should be put onstage and scalped Mohican style for this. I am not going to be able to go to the show. I am going to miss it and this piece of cod is going to make a bunch of coin. The last Montreal show was a year ago before they exploded and it was held in a small church and those who saw it say it was a terribly awesome show. Im pissed. Fair?
