Feel free to point out where I said anything about the muppets who spent $500? It's the cunts that sold the tickets that are the problem, not the idiots that bought them. There'll always be some dumb fuck easily separated from their cash, and fair enough, they've paid no less than anyone else and will contribute to the atmosphere, the experience and gain understanding etc. But people are making a conscious decision to exploit the situation. To take advantage of the scarcity of tickets to line their own pockets.
There is such a thing as personal responsibility, there is such a thing as decency and there are such things as principles. The people profiteering out of this are nasty fuckwits who lack any of the above.

What is 'misfortunate'? Is it an americanism? Misfortune and unfortunate.
Why blame Geldorf for the actions of others? The tickets were offered for a fair price in a fair way. They weren't exclusive, they weren't restrictive, they just relied on you being lucky. Sometimes it just isn't about money, it's about doing what's right.
