I refuse to go see any band named Diarrhea..sorry.. I have standards.
I will just say that A) Diarrhea Planet is a tremendously fun live band and that B) Diarrhea Planet has four guitarists. Four guitarists! That is twice as awesome as a band that has two guitarists, and a band that has two guitarists is already off to a good start.

New album is really good, too. Definitely going this time and leaving wifey at home.
Regardng the name….my parents couldn't get past band names like Killing Joke or Dead Kennedys. Guess I haven't reached that point yet.

and this:
Why don't they just call it the Musical Tourism Tour?
RESPECT!
I'd rather see Garfunkel tour with with Summers and Copeland. Ah, Baby Boomers….when they all die?

You're so edgy, Brian.

Me and a friend made a ton of cash back in the 80's at the Sting MPP show. Told people was sold out and sold them tickets and then with the proceeds bought more tickets to scalp. I didn't have a job at the time so all that money came in handy. I hate Sting's music but I do appreciate his fans are so stupid. I guess he has realized the same and is taking out the middle man.

Bragging about scalping…good way to make friends here
oh wait, you don't want to, so I guess you have achieved your goal

I was 19 at the time. It was Sting fans so it makes it ok. ? Scalping is only cheating if you have an unfair advantage to getting tickets. If I go up to the box office and buy tickets and then instantly sell them to someone in the parking lot I am providing them with a service. They could have gone up to the box office themselves and bought tickets. I saved them from getting out of their car.
Anyway I thought people would appreciate my business smarts. Also I spent some of the proceeds at a 930 club show that same night.
As for friends I don't hang out with people who like Queens of the Stone Age and Pearl Jam. Or people who feel superior to others because they drink beer that is in short supply.

I guess I should have said that different…
If you just want to be a dick (and brag about it), you have achieved your goal.

I don't see how I was a dick. I was an unemployed teenage college student. I made money off of people at a Sting show to go to a show I actually wanted to see. I did sell tickets to Panda Bear at the Ottobar as I decided I didn't want to go when I saw how much people were willing to pay for them. It was a win-win. I got money for a show that I didn't think was worth 75 bucks to see and someone got to see them who thought it was worth that much. It was worth the original 15 dollars I paid for tickets though. Everyone has their price to give up tickets.
scalper rationale 101 "I was providing a service to someone who needed it…doing them a favor!"
anyways times have changed and now everyone is a scalper on stubhub…its rather weird… but the anything is ok as long as there is money rationale now justifies scalping for pretty much everyone…if you're trying to buy tickets for a sold out show on ticketmaster i think they now even direct you to scalper sites!
i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people on this board are reselling tickets to pay for their concerts..
America has changed a lot since the early/mid 1980s.. in some ways for the better (tolerance) but in some ways worse..
