And what about the fans that run out and buy all the singles , because each one has an extra song that wasn't on the cd, and who buy the regular issue cd as well as the imports because each import has added songs that aren't on the US version? Fans buy MORE cd's, not less. Sheesh!!! There are 2 reasons for increased concert ticket prices: 1) Ego - it stokes the artists ego to be able to command top dollar 2) Too many greedy fingers in the concert revenue pie, including promotors, brokers, venues, managers, all those convenien ce charges, etc. on 11/19/03 1:30 PM, Jason Sheldon at jason@digital-solutions.co.uk wrote:

Absolutely disgusting. To accuse FANS of stealing music. Genuine fans are the ones (like Jeremy) go around the world to buy the album on day of release..... Or even not as far as that, but to sometimes even order from overseas, thanks to stupid marketing tactics that in my opinion, contribute to piracy by having staggered release dates....
And then you've got the fans that don't order from overseas, but still buy on day of release in their territory.
So us fans are causing high ticket prices? Bo****ks
If that's the case, lets all buy our overpriced concert tickets, and demand our money back when we show up at the door with our collection of original albums.
