The Vancouver Sun has issued the following report from Amy O'Brian:

When tickets to AC/DC's November concert at GM Place went on sale Friday morning, Annette Romano and thousands of others were poised at their computers, ready to click for tickets.

The $99 tickets went on sale at precisely 10 AM on Ticketmaster's website, but within minutes, Romano was receiving a message indicating she was out of luck.

"I thought my computer was malfunctioning. I couldn't even get one seat in the nosebleeds," Romano said Monday in an interview.

The Vancouver show sold out in four minutes, according to promoter Live Nation. The news was announced Friday in a mass e-mail sent out just 25 minutes after the tickets went on sale.

But while the quick sellout is good news for the promoter and for Ticketmaster, it has caused mass frustration among those who were unable to get tickets.

Chief among those frustrations is the fact that while all the $99 tickets were snatched up in minutes, resale tickets were available equally as fast on the ticket exchange portion of the Ticketmaster website for nearly $500. And on Monday, tickets were going for as much as $1,318 each.

At TicketsNow, a ticket-reselling website that is also owned by Ticketmaster, tickets were available Monday for between $400 and $1,070.

For the average music fan who just wants to rock out to Thunderstruck, that's too much.

"I'll just pop in a DVD," said a defeated Romano.
