They are doing what the ticket seller call "slow sale" They release x number of tickets and wait and see what whey are reselling for and release the next batch at closer to the resale value. They plan to do this for all big entertainers in the future. puts more money in the entertainer's pocket, and less in Stubhub's pocket. I read yesterday that there are front row tickets for her Los Angeles stop at the Rose Bowl on sale for $14,000.
