Thanks for posting! I can't see Twitter feeds while in the office, so I miss a lot of Glenn's Twitter action...

Terrible at a time when touring already seems barely viable. Then there's the ticket companies that came up with the system of automatically inflating ticket prices for mainstream artists to eye-watering levels.

I've seen so many articles lately where one artist or another is talking about how it isn't financially viable to tour because of all the rising costs. This is just another thing piled onto the mess I'd say. It's sad but not unexpected.
