  I’m more pissed that I sat in line for five hours then when I had the tickets in my basket the site crapped out and I got kicked.

  Ticketmaster fees and charges are one thing.

  But if someone is willing to pay 400+ dollars for a seat at a concert, Shouldn’t they be able to do that over someone that just wants a cheap seat?

    They already do that with different pricing based on distance to stage. This is gouging, which is different. They stagger the releases to control the market, so as to artificially inflate demand and prices.
