A recent article circulated here about "secondary market" or scalping pointed out that the scalper price is the true market price and reflects the market's valuation of the show. If you could sell 80% of Springsteen's seats at $160 then the value is, and starting price should be, $160. Not the opening price of $60.
The article then points out that notwithstanding the market price, and the fact that the artists are getting clipped by downloading, falling CD prices, rising show expenses, etc., the artists are to be commended for pricing their tickets at an affordable amount, at least initially, instead of the market amount, and thus letting the huge profits--their profits--to go to the least deserving (scalping machines). Artists try to control the scalping but can only do so much. The lottery alternative is one method.

However what I and most people object to the bots is, as you noted, they do not let the general buying public have a fair shot at the face value tickets and if the lower face value is to the credit of the artist's generosity (and at his expense) the bots are just being rude.
The bot-buying scalpers often get stuck with unsold tickets--hahaha too bad. But they have already made enough on the ones they sold that they aren't hurt when the extras are there in the chain link fence at the gate.
I hate the bot buying and the mark-up and the scalping so I'm not defending it but as the article said, it's one of the rare examples of true free-market capitalism today. I find it interesting.
I can't speak to the hold-backs because I don't know enough about it. sounds sleazy but everything ticketmaster does is.

Some years ago my daughters wanted to see Taylor Swift. Tix sold out in minutes and the secondary prices were very high. A friend in the biz told me to go to the box office two days before the show, as that’s when the artist releases his/her holdback seats. So I scored third row, face value, no fees. We can be heroes, just for one day.

Buses are without a doubt the move for Red Rocks shows, there are a bunch of them that leave and return to various bars, etc. in Denver. But for Dick’s I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just either camp or get a hotel nearby.

Was camping full or they just didn’t want to camp? I’m sure a lot of people book hotels as early as they will take reservations just in case they play Dick’s. If it happens you already know which days it’ll be. But 3 miles away doesn’t seem too bad, I’ve got some friends staying further away from the venue than that for Hampton.
