I can't knock him because what he is doing is working. The floor seats are selling. Yes, it sucks for low to middle class fans who can't afford to pay it. The people that would get to a venue 5 hours early if they had to and show their 50 dollar ticket and then get 15 feet from stage. It sucks for them.

He tried doing it the Oceania way and it didn't work. 10,000 people a city didn't want to hear new music (even though it was pretty good) from a band that had better hits 15 years earlier.

I am actually surprised they didn't do this sooner to be honest. Most bands in their shoes probably would have done so.
