They did everything about their high ticket prices except for cutting the price of their tickets.

about yr 2nd point: it WAS a legit legal battle [and i understand you agree that it was(?)] so whats the rest about the publicity stunt?

if you want publicity/revolution cred you play a free tibet concert, you dont start beef with the practical monopoly of arranging arena concerts.
Both can be tactics for publicity. Pointing at big bad ticketmaster for the cost of their tickets when PJ is still in control of 95% of the ticket costs outside of ticketmaster fees definitely has the air of a decision made for publicity. If you don't see it, you don't see it I guess.
