Britney: The rip off of the year!


Sometimes I wonder how prices on certain things continue to soar during this economic downfall. Don't judge me when I say this, but I have desperately been trying to find Britney Spears tickets for the concert in March. I know its ridiculous but it's my guilty pleasure.

I can remember when the face value of a ticket was $60. Then, it creeped up to $90. Now, the face value for the price of a Britney ticket is $150, if you want to sit anywhere in which she doesn't look like an ant from your seat. Because they are all sold out, I am forced to get tickets off of either a scalper website or craigslist, which the idea of meeting up with a perfect stranger still scares me.

I am probably going to pay between $250-300 for a ticket. I have to go to her comeback tour no matter how much of a trainwreck she was in the past. But I still wonder, how can ticket prices be so high when this type of concert attracts mainly teens with no money? Oh, thats right...their parents will pay. Unfortunetly for me, I will have to give up buying shoes for a couple of weeks to go.

Oh well. I KNOW this is insane, but it's Britney, bitch!
