seen on above mentioned website "Note: Tickets may be sold for more than the price listed on the ticket."

USD 4000 for a ticket ???

the price has gone up since the first days after the sale
surely someone has made leonard aware of this travesty... he surely can't NOT care...
how can he let this proceed?

This didn't just happen with precious Leonard Cohen tickets. Check out what happened with Bruce Springstein's tickets on TicketMaster...

I for one will be writing to U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell who is asking the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department to investigate Ticketmaster, letting him know the same happened when Leonard Cohen tickets went on sale!

Great idea, pinkpawprints! I'll do the same.
Here's another link to the story:

I live in NYC, and filed an online complaint today with the NYC Consumer Affairs Department about the Ticketmaster/Ticketsnow situation, after discovering today that tickets were now selling for Leonard's Beacon Theater show for between $398 and, wait for it, $4075! It was great to discover this evening that others had already begun to make this situation public.
