how can a band that is always ahead of the curve, always changing the way they do business and thus the way others do business, not change the way the sell tickets? IN RAINBOWS changing the way music was announced and distributed and purchased and priced. but the tour was through Ticketmaster and the scalpers made a fortune. TKOL was basically the same premise as IN RAINBOWS but more refined and minus the name your own price (cuz they're not in it for the money!) again tour through Ticketmaster and scalpers rejoice again. now untitled #9 is apparently heading this way, surprise announcement, weird way to purchase (bandcamp bittorrent newspaper edition? get real dudes) and set price (learned from IN RAINBOWS) AND GUESS WHO GOT THE TOUR!? TICKETMASTER. now the scalpers have already made more then RADIOHEAD has made. and guess what, once the album is out and the proper tour announced, scalpers get round 2! So again i ask how can a band that is so influential in all their undertakings still be doing business with Ticketmaster who basically is a place to create a secondary market designed to specifically hurt fans?
