This is what's going on on Ticketmaster. I haven't seen this before. Look at the words
About Ticketmaster Platinum
What are Platinum Tickets?
Platinum Tickets are some of the best available tickets to concerts and other events made available by artists and event organisers though Ticketmaster. They give fans fair and safe access to some of the best seats in the house at market driven prices. [That is code for "someone has inflated the price of tickets that are in blocks normally offered at the advertised prices.]
Are Platinum Tickets resale tickets?
No these are not resale tickets. Platinum Tickets are being sold for the very first time through Ticketmaster. The prices are adjusted according to supply and demand, similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold. The goal is to give the most passionate fans fair and safe access to the best tickets, while allowing the artists and everyone involved in staging live events to price tickets closer to their true value.
ARE the band and their management responsible for putting tickets in areas that were on sale yesterday and this morning at normal prices on sale at £150 a ticket? Or is this someone else? We won't be told.

I know reselling is legal, I don't object to it, but putting out tickets that have not even been offered to the public at the budgeted price ... this REALLY stinks. All those weasel words about "fair and safe", it sounds like Tony Blair talking about "schools and hospitals." These tickets were supposed to be on sale on the open market tomorrow via Ticketmaster among others, and this is what is happening ...
