For all the negative press the secondary ticketing market gets, not much is mentioned about when ticket brokers end up saving consumers money. For example, tickets for recent Bruce Springsteen shows where tickets have a face value of $75+ fees have been going for as little as $4/ticket on Stubhub. Or, another example is The Dead @ The Forum in Inglewood, tickets are going for as much as 30% off face value.
I hope that legislators and politicians keep this in mind when considering drafting new ticket laws.
