"StubHub Enlisted in Resale Of Madonna Concert Tickets"

As if her fucking tickets aren't over priced enough, no she is officially endorsing a scalper to buy those overpriced tickets from her, re-sell them at an even higher price and pay her points on that as well. What a fucking greedy bitch. And they say downloading is ruining music. I beg to fucking differ.

"Madonna's coming concert tour is to feature what appears to be a first in the concert business: An official ticket reseller that will peddle seats at marked-up prices to fans who couldn't get them through normal channels."

"The endorsements highlight the growing popularity and influence of so-called secondary ticketing companies, which let both fans and brokers sell tickets to others at prices that often far exceed their face values"

"Terms weren't disclosed, but people close to the deal said Viagogo is paying promoter Live Nation Inc. and Madonna a flat fee, while StubHub is offering a percentage of revenue on top of a fee."
