While I'm looking at that picture, the white guy with the short hair and the white shirt just to the left of the girl you circled was near me during the show. When people started to pass out during the show, I started to look around and that kid looked REAL bad. Like I thought he was going to go any second. I offered him the half a bottle of water I had left but he still just stood there eyes closed covered in sweat and looking like he was having trouble breathing. He finally left the front and walked to the back of the club and I never saw him again - I hope he was OK. :(

Originally posted by Hoya Paranoia:I had totally forgotten that the guy from The Lassie Foundation was touring with them. It was discussed quite awhile ago on one of my other cyber haunts but then dropped and left my mind. Would love to have seen him though I'm not a Smashing Pumpkins fan. Don't feel so bad now since, apparently, he didn't stand out like he could have. Still would have been good to see him.
Originally posted by Epstein:wow, i didn't realize that, i absolutely love The Lassie Foundation … are they completely done now then?
You have someone in your band from the lassie foundation (the new guitar player), who put out some of the most underrated shoegaze/pop albums in years (go check out pacifico awesome awesome record) yet you don't utilize any of if on the songs?
Yeah, they've broken up but who knows if they will ever rejoin forces again. The El Rey EP is my very favorite with the song "I Can Be Her Man" being one of those songs I can listen to over and over again. Don't like the other version of the song at all. Think that it might be on Dive Bomber.

Welcome to the Drama Club

just b/c i get 4 tickets means I'm scalping? lol, its not like I bought 4 iPhones…
Originally posted by nike4o1:You fucking scumbag liar. And to think, I defended you against the attacks of others on this board because you claimed you weren't scalping them. bnyced0 I owe you an apology.
but seriously, why are you hating on us? Just because I want to go w/ my friends makes me evil? Its cool if you like going to concerts by yourself, but I don't….
nike4o1 I hope your girlfriend gives you her herpees. Not only are scalpers scum of the earth, but you even lie about it. Cocksmoker.
Good lord - you make chokey chicken look like a nice guy, and I didn't think that was possible.
Originally posted by nike4o1:- you boast about how much money you make as a parasite - sweet. that's all that scalping is, parasitism. you offer no value.
I am not here to fight, just here to chat and talk concerts, if you have a problem with what I do, thats cool….reselling tickets has allowed me to take-in on average $15k a year while going to school full-time as a student…
I wrote a long "speal" about scalping and what not, but do not want to hijack this thread…I am well aware of my surroundings and know that this is not the place to talk about this…
I hope to see you all during the rest of the upcoming concert season, and if you see me again ratbastard, give me a shout out and we will have a beer or two(it'll be on me ;) )
- it's "spiel"… you write good, mr. i-go-to-school. i'd love to read your defense, i'm sure it's a masterful treatise on self-rationalization :roll:
- you don't want to discuss scalping (unpleasant for you), but want "to chat and talk concerts" - i.e. have us support your business with information. we don't want your type here. no wonder you lied earlier in this thread.
- i hope i don't see you during the "upcoming concert season" (was the off-season rough for you? are you happy the harvest is in now?)
Originally posted by nike4o1:your type destroys the concert scene. i can't go to shows because assholes like you snap up half the tickets and triple their price. scum.
Offer is still on the table for the beers…I am not here to argue about what I do, just here to talk the concert scene…
so all the added drama caused last week was the result ofboasting not telling the whole truth idiot… fab…
nothing ever changes.
he doesn't care what you think.
the way bands and ticketmaster sells tickets is the real reason scalpers thrive. blame them.
treat him like shit, threaten him if you see him, throw your best shit his way; doesn't that make YOU a better person.
money has, does, and always will make the world go around. pretending it doesn't only leaves you in the whining dust.

Originally posted by Jaguar:As I said during D-Plan Scalpergate: I am anti-scalping but banning people for scalping OFF THIS MESSAGEBOARD is a ridiculous abuse of power and misguided moral superiority. What's next: banning a boardie who commits a DUI?
Now, those of you who know me know which extreme end I am on concerning banning isps but this is one that I would cut off without any second thoughts solely so he can't get any of the insider tips about tickets.
Fucker! :mad:

Ate you saying concert tickets are as dangerous a drug as crack? Come on. I know some people on this board are addicted to going to shows, but I would argue that it's less harmful to them than crack is to those who are hooked on it.

it's the 10 crack commandments!
This is why I generally assume everyone is an asshole until they prove otherwise. Sad, but at least I'm pleasantly surprised, and not the other way around. Thought I did buy this douche bag's story too.

You know, if this had been a Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit show people were scalping to, I'd say all the more power to them. Rip those fucking douchebags off!! But i dig Pumpkins so that's a bit harsh…
rusty, i disagree. i don't have much interest or respect for those bands, but it's not like parasitism can be isolated to one genre. scum travels. once these douchebags set up their "business", they make no distinction - they'll scalp lame bands as much as cool ones.
it's not about good vs lame bands - it's about music fans vs. scalpers.

After my experience with the Cure presale yesterday, I have to say I am utterly disgusted with the concert industry. The Cure puts on a presale and offers a password through their web site, which you have to sign up for so you think "hey, this seems legit…maybe I'll get some good seats!". Ticketmaster holds the presale, and yet only single tickets way in the back pop up (both initially and after a long while). Boardies can't get anything better than what, maybe 35 rows back?
And somehow even though I can only access single tickets, on E-bay there are primo tickets already being sold…can you say WTF? I know that often better seats go on sale during general sale so I could try then, but it still angers me that clearly scalpers are being enabled somehow, and in all cases I think it's Ticketmaster. Maybe even bands are in on it and they are able to get a better cut somehow, at this point nothing would surprise me. But as a consumer, I have made a choice and if I feel like a situation is crappy, then I just make the choice to not go. Not that I want to punish bands, but really, if you care about your fans you will do what you can to take care of them and give them something better than scraps.

Aren't you guys tossing around the word "scum" rather lightly?
Married guys who go to strip clubs and get lap dances are scum.
People who drink eight beers at a bar or club and jump in their car and drive home are scum.
People who sexually abuse children are scum.
Scalpers? Certainly they are not to be applauded. But "scum"? Nah, I don't think so.
