I had two tickets cancelled too…. schradach sent me the disclaimer (i emailed him to ask him about it after buying the second "household" set) which i missed i don't know why. .i looked for it..
basically my wife bought two yesterday through amex presale. .. i bought two this morning to help out some people with poor ticket kungfu who i knew would get zilch (and they did!)- friends of ours- who want to go bad…i thought about it long and hard before confirming purchase but i could not find anything saying two different people who lived together couldn't buy them..
but it got cancelled pretty quick… i'm just glad the amex presale ones did not get cancelled..my wife would be so ticked off..
what i saw said "2 per order" not "2 per order, household, " etc.. but schradach sent me the fine print and its in there
i'm still a bit nervy that they'll cancel the other ones but i don't think so..

You could just call this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-TICKETS-PAUL-SIMON-930-CLUB-9-30-WASHINGTON-DC-5-27-/200593196206?pt=US_Tickets_all_in_one&hash=item2eb44944ae#ht_1506wt_1141But on a serious note, kudos to Seth and co. for doing all this to at least try to keep scalpers out. $50 ticket price concerned me at first, because I was expecting them to cost way more, but it looks like they're actually following through on some of these anti-scalper threats. Obviously it remains to be seen what pops up on Stubhub/Craigslist, but so far it's a good sign.

Yeah, that too. Same ad. I love how they try to spin it as a personable touch. He'll even deliver the tickets to you, by hand, the night of the show! Good man.
As he takes $1000 from the buyer and then picks up his tickets only to be ushered straight into the club.

That's awesome. Even though a buyer for that one ticket will still net him a good profit. Still an improvement over dozens of people posting 8+ tickets for a show like this.

Back to the actual show, what kind of band situation is this tour? Solo? Full-band?

So, would there be people on the night of show selling their second ticket for face value, say if a friend bailed on them? (okay at least two people, 'cause I need two)

Mind you…..anyone willing to spend $500+ for a single ticket to a concert by any artist.deserves to be ripped off in my opinion. Each to their own though, so not judging.

hmmmm….I guess I did didn't I? I meant I would understand if they saw value in paying that much for a show. I can't.

If you're making 250K (or more) per year, $500 for a concert ticket is nothing. Also, someone who pays that kind of money is more likely a bucket lister than a regular concert goer.
