Basically I'm OK with that as long as they put $750 etc. In ticket prices in the report and none of this PRISM mess type if boxscores with $100 being max but outgrossing act with $250 seats by a good margin.

I like that they don't, it keeps it fair when you have artists who charge ridiculous prices already. Madonna would scalp even more with VIP and merchandise added in. For Miami, LA etc her front row packages were $2500. And her merchandise is so expensive too, almost every tour they make limited shirts or posters and are so inflated. A shirt from the Re-Invention Tour sold for $120.
obviously the Paris shows will top it but I thought it said they topped it in NA alone 
but in previous experiences, Billboard report a higher gross than Pollstar
