Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn't use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

Yea, they eventually did the tour and honored the tickets. I guess $250 isn't terrrrrrible, when I was looking it was like $250 for essentially nosebleed seats.
