Disappointed with Ticketmaster

I was trying to get tickets to the U2 concert either in Philly or New York, since they have not announced a D.C. date yet. First off, I am kicking myself because I did get in once for the Philly concert, but the seats that came up were rear view seats. So I tried searching again at the high price, but by then everything was sold out. The problem is that is seemed that a lot of people buy the maximum amount they are allowed, and resell their extra tickets on Ebay. I browsed through some of these listings, and they were going for practically $300 per tickets on the floor. I guess I will sign up for the U2 subscription, and hop that they open up a second leg of their tour. This way I might be able to get some pre-sale tickets. It did not to be this hard to get tickets a few years ago.
