BigBen - I think you to run (not walk) to Ticketmaster and sell them your idea. It's basically a way for them to make even more money, and they don't actually have to sell anything in the short term. If you fork over $100 for 2 tickets 2 years out from the still-unannounced show, and the tickets are $59.95 for the seats, they have your $100 in today's dollars (which are worth more than 2-years-from now dollars). In small sums, it's not much but when you're dealing with millions, that's a big windfall.

Patent that one, my friend.
