Experiences from friends differs.
As I understand it, most big shows get rapidly sold out, largely to scalp...uh, "resellers" who then put the tickets up for resale at insane markups. That "average $72 ticket" becomes $500 easily.
May not be entirely true, but that's the experience I've mostly heard from friends trying to go see a number of these shows. I've experienced this with a number of hockey tickets, but not with a lot of concerts. Though this seems factual based on one experience I recently had on AC/DCs last tour. Just one personal experience, though.
