Dear Radiohead

[lee]

ticketsnow.com owned by ticketmaster is selling scalped tickets that fans, such as myself got barely a chance to buy. tickets were reserved for ticketsnow by ticketmaster and were never destined to reach the public at face value. This doesnt surprise me but it does annoy me.what i dont understand is why radiohead would tolerate this or even associate themselves with a monopoly like ticketmaster, especially since they used promote literature like "no logo" and are known as an "anti corporate" bandI've been a fan since i was 15, i met my wife because of a shared love of this band and I've been blessed to see them more than once and sometimes in very intimate settings. it hurts to have our loyalty and love for this band thrown to the lions.What i would like to see is the band showing some sort of appreciation to their fans by doing a few more smaller shows as apposed to one or 2 shows in lifeless venues like the hollywood bowl.i understand they have other things to do with their lives than play rock shows, i respect this and their families. What i dont respect is that when they do put a show on it is done in such a way that contradicts their ethics and ultimately leaves the fans at best out of pocket and at worst dissapointed.I am also a little bothered with the bands association with KROQ in los angeles. until they started playing bodysnatchers a few times a week the only radiohead song you could here from them was creepthe KROQ events i have been to are mostly glorified beer fests that have now also fallen under the thumb of ticketmaster.What i want the band to know, is that i would expect this kind of behaviour and business ethic from bands like limp bizkit or my chemical romancebut not youyou put on the best musical show i have ever had the pleasure to see. I admire your environmental and political view points and the fact that you are so vocal about them. but please stand by them.Please dont be a tool of organizations such as ticketmaster.I look forward to seeing you play sometime in the future, my wife and i missed out on all the california shows this year.good luck with the tour and God blessLee Young
