Ticketmaster is very shady...

It's common knowledge that Ticketmaster is being investigated into its practices and this is certainly a new example of why they are being investigated:

Today was the Lady Gaga presale for her concert at MSG on July 6th.  You had to be a CitiCard holder, which I am...  The presale started today, and all the tickets were sold out.  I was curious, so I researched tickets on StubHub, and there they are!  Tickets galore with the prices double, triple, and quadruple the asking price on Ticketmaster's website.

They got into hot water over this with Springsteen's concerts- you'd think they'd learn.  It's extremely annoying and unfair to the public that all these tickets are suddenly sold out the second they go on sale.  I had this problem on Saturday with trying to get Glee tickets.  I could definitely get tickets to see the Gaga, but I really can't afford to spend $1,000 right now.  In these times, it seems ludicrous to me to pay that much for a concert.

I hope that she adds some more shows at MSG or even Nassau Coliseum, and hopefully I can get dibs on some seats.
