I've visted Ticketmaster and they only have one venue listed (Houston)

I've been to other sites and the prices range anywhere from $50 to $300

Now, I am skeptical of these other sites as I have always purchased my tickets exclusivley through Ticketmaster, or at the gate. Either these are legitimate sites, or it is just scalpers. Does anyone have a legitimate site with reasonable prices for good tickets? If there are any at the present time?

Don't do it.

These assfucks are scalpers who assume that there's a good enough chance that they'll get the tickes through a legitimate outlet later that they feel comfortable selling them for huge prices now.

A small disclaimer: A few venues don't always use Ticketmaster (Merriweather, where they're playing in DC often sells through Tickets.com) but they're a very small minority, although you can always email the venue to check. But that doesn't change the fact that for the vast majority of sites offering tickets now, you WILL pay too much and also stand a good chance of getting totally fucked over in regards to getting a genuine ticket or any ticket at all.

Agreed, plus I was checking ticketmaster.com last night, and they updated the search for Marilyn Manson to include Slayer/Marilyn Manson. I think they are about to release them soon, we just need to be patient.
