Because Ticketmaster knows you like to pay a lot more for concert tickets than they're really worth, especially those wonderful and mysterious "fees" that somehow hover near the price of a ticket themselves, they're now going to give you the chance to decide just how much you're willing to pay. Yes, that's right, it's up to you now to decide - do you want "exorbitant" prices or "excruciating" prices? You get to decide! How? Ticketmaster is going to start auctioning the best seats for shows! Isn't that great? Thanks, Ticketmaster - always the pioneer in new ways to gouge customers.

God, and I thought I didn't have enough reasons to stop going to concerts before . . .
