      <![CDATA[Thank goodness. With issues like a stubbornly high crime rate, the state largest school district millions in the hole, transit systems cut to the core, a continued weak and vulnerable economic recovery and let us not forget the potential impact on the state if the fed is unable to produce a sustainable budget compromise over the next month, well- I am glad to see state legislators are tackling the really important issues.

      <![CDATA[Jeff, you and I remember when decent ballplayers made $50,000 and name concerts cost $8, so inflation has many causes. That said, I went to the window at FedEx Forum this morning to check out the Dec. 8 four-ticket package the the price was $56, so a 31 percent Ticketmaster markup, as MMark says, is a lot of convenience and handling.

      <![CDATA[Absolutely. What is Ticketmaster but a scalper who buys up all the tickets, not just some of them, and sells them at outrageously inflated prices?

      <![CDATA[Agree with you Jeff. While I'm not against a company making a buck, Ticketmaster fees border on lunacy.
