so, two ladies that I work with started watching that INXS reality show over the summer and got freakishly into it. Anyway, when it was announced that the new band was touring they went nuts and bought 2 tickets for the shot in philly and 2 for the show in AC at the Borgata. Well, being reaonable, they realized nobody needs to see that show twice in a weekend, the one lady sold them on ebay. Now, they were originally $75.00, so she listed them both with a starting bid of $150.00 and left it be for awhile.

This morning, the auction was up and they sold for $460.00.

what. the. fuck?

You'd have to be freakishly into that show to still want to see INXS with that guy singing. He sucks. I'll be happy if I never, ever hear "Pretty Vegas" again.

well, obviously it.s gonna suck. but to pay $230 a ticket? even IF the corpse of Michael Hutchence was singing I wouldn't drop over $30.

I have seriously considered going into business as an ebay ticket broker...seems like it could be quite lucrative
