Scalpers aside, I've discovered since visiting this forum that the LC movement is alive. I'm sorry for all the people who, due to credit card, password, billing address, etc. issues were not able to purchase tickets. I truly believe that there are a lot of genuine fans out there, and that is the main reason why the Leonard Cohen crew are able to charge so much and still be able to sell out all these dates. I believe that the Ticketmaster charges are outrageous (really? ~15% handling fee per ticket?) but I also feel that the true drive of these flash-fast ticket sales is the high demand by his many, many fans.
If you've been a fan for 40,30,20 years, you're not the only one.
