Fairness and Tickets

Kudos to Phil Collins and his management team for their efforts to fairly distribute concert tickets (the Pop Eye column, Sept 30. and Oct. 7).

Why isn’t the music industry --which is so concerned about losing money from bootleg recordings and merchandise, digital audio and recordable CDs--doing something to stop ticket-scalping parasites from making fortunes off the backs of musicians? Yeah, I know . . . supply and demand. But I think it stinks!
