If artists and venues wish to sell their tickets at a set price it is not free enterprise for individuals to reset that price at a drastically inflated amount.  The result of such thinking results in high powered ticket scalpers like stubhub buying up hundreds of tickets and then reselling them for way more than the artist intended.  Where are the rights of real fans and the artists... those rights apparently mean nothing.

get your 4 day pass...only 950.00, about 800 dollars more than those running the show intended.

Too bad the citizens of Colorado aren't as enlightened as those in some other states who have decided the artists and those running the venue have rights to decide what people pay for their shows.
