We got special access a day early due to our volume. Suddenly, a few years ago we would go online right at the opening and all of the good seats were already gone to ticket scalping outlets. Ticketmaster and Live Nation were getting cuts from the scalping companies, still are.

Haven’t been to a concert since.
