Apparently some scalpers out there didn't get stuck in the ShowClix waiting room and got through to get Kraftwerk tickets... and now the $25-a-pop passes have been marked way, way up. Ah, capitalism. You do have to wonder just what, exactly, the $6,750 in "service fees" might be going, though... [via ILX / Previously]

Thats a good deal, I'd easily pay 100,000k to see that.

just want to remind everyone out there that kraftwork is a bunch of dudes standing around twiddling their laptops. even $25 is too much to pay for that.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Kraftwerk began "twiddling" in the 70's when there were no laptops. They use almost all analog synthesizers, like ARP Odysseys, Prophets and Oberheim Xpanders. The essentially carry a recording studio and set it up for the show. I've been a producer for decades, and Kraftwerk invented an entire genre of music on their own, and deserve the huge respect they have earned.
