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.

problem is, supply is far less than demand, which means they can charge this, and people will pay it. As long as this is the case, there's nothing that can be done about it. :(

I won't pay it despite being able to afford it because it's far too much for a one-off. The last Springsteen gig at the O2 had a surprising number of empty seats but that could have been due to lots of tickets being in the hands of touts.
