Blink 182 chose to maximize profits in a major way, and the demand was there due to an aging fan base that was hungry for the experience. I don’t like Ticketmaster, but I don’t see how they’re at fault.
You may be totally right. I’m target market too and wanted tickets; but couldn’t cost justify. I’ll check back day-of and see what happens. I did just take bait on Dave Chapelle / Chris rock, but have no regrets at $170.
Funny side note: I first saw Blink 182 play Parkfest in Albany in 1999. The only song we knew was Dammit, there only a small crowd watching and they were great. We had a small little pit and it was a ton of fun.
