Being in NYC, you get ESPECIALLY screwed because of all the press, venue, famous people, etc. hook-ups. @Maura: Ha, probably correct on the “jaded insider” part.

If so, this isn't really news as Springsteen's spokesperson claims that they were used for re-selling purposes (which is the issue). I totally agree about the Transparency though. Although they are an evil company, I think those LiveNation style seating maps would be very beneficial for pre-sales and on-sales. At least you'd know BEFORE you tried to buy tickets what seats were out there. It would be like X = ticket held for band Y = ticket held for re-sale market Z = ticket you (may) be able to buy, 1 = NO FUCKING CHANCE YOU'LL GET THIS SEAT ASSHOLE, etc. I thought it was always common knowledge that some of the best seats are pulled aside for the band and their family/entourage/label, etc.?
