In my search for Queen tickets that I wasn't able to get at Ticketmaster, even though I tried on the day they went on sale, I found a website VividSeats that sold some Queen tickets. There was a pair of tickets selling for almost $10,000 a ticket. How stupid does someone have to be to think someone will actually spend that much on a concert ticket? And how can they even sell these tickets for that much money. It's absurd, outrageous and heartless. So is selling tickets in the mid-upper hundreds range when they cost under $200.
There are way too many scalpers out there that "steal" tickets from fans and resell them for outrageous prices. This should not be allowed. Reselling tickets should not be allowed either. You bought them you keep them.

I think such events are not only in your country,
even in my country, I often buy tikats at a concert show,
and when in that location many = people who offer tickets,
they even say that the tickets are almost finished,
if I don't buy it, I certainly won't see the show
And finally I was forced to buy the ticket at a fantastic price
And when that was in my mind, how glad I was to finally be able to see the show
And I never thought that I bought a ticket for the wrong person
But when we decided to go home from the show we realized,
that I had bought the ticket to the wrong person, and it was too expensive I had to pay

When you are buying tickets for a show that are being resold you have to be careful who you buy them from. Tickets can be counterfeit or you may end up paying way more than you should.

@KOLAMsegaran1 Those that resell tickets always increase price by a lot. Some people resell tickets because they really can't go but others resell tickets because they bought them with the purpose to make a lot of money off them.

@lovebuglena I got the original ticket, but I had to pay more to get the ticket,
because they always said that the tikat will soon run out, and I bought it very forced

How can they demand that much money when there will be no Freddy Mercury.

At first I thought maybe it was a typo but then realized it's probably intentional. Whoever is selling that ticket for that much money (curious why they are even allowed to do that by the site) must have no heart. Even if I was loaded and could spend that much money without blinking an eye I would never do that.

I wonder how they can be stopped though. Maybe there can be a maximum number of tickets that can be bought?@lovebuglena (52207)

When I was trying to get tickets on Ticketmaster there was a 6 ticket limit per order and I think even per Ticketmaster account.
