You've got to be kidding me

Concert ticket prices have been a joke for quite some time but this takes the biscuit. Tickets for Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck at the O2 start at a face value of 60 (+fees and shipping). Any reasonable seat would at least be 100, with top seats being 125. WHAT THE FUCK?
For the upcoming Eric Clapton/Stevie Winwood gig, tickets are between 60 and 90.

One of the many, many reasons I prefer gigs at small venues!

If only Eric Clapton played at them. :/ I guess the O2 are making up for the losses incurred due to the death Michael Jackson.

It makes no sense, though. Because of these high prices, there will be empty seats and surely, not selling any is a bigger loss than selling all at lower individual prices?

maybe they can get rid of a chunk of the remaining ones cheaply through last-minute resellers?
