scalpers must die… even if they are board members!

Originally posted by Doctor Doom:Just looked at it, so…because its Section D its automatically assumed that it was purchased by a board member? Also, the tickets are at $93 so being that a pair was 92.80 after all charges it looks like they stand to make a tidy 20 cent profit before ebay takes their cut, cant see anything to get excited over.

This is a matter of principle Hunter, not profit. Setting up these presales is very time-consuming, and there already were other presales associated with this event that needed to be dealt with. Seth and box office staff went to a considerable amount of trouble to provide something special for the regular Forum members so they could all see the show together, and most people genuinely seemed to appreciate that effort. I don't think it's cool that someone decided to profit from this goodwill gesture.
Whoever it is, they recently bought some really ugly shoes.
Perhaps he funded those shoes by getting rid of his Ozzy diecast metal car collection.
It does not seem like they have been selling other tickets on ebay. Perhaps they bought tickets in good faith and then something else came up, or they just got better tickets.
I like the shoes BTW, but they are for someone with very small feet, Rhett?

Is this an admission?

Which Forum Member is auctioning off his/her Pixies tickets?
The ticket x-change forum does exist for a reason and given that the concert is in December that route should have been considered as the first venue for attempting to sell them. Especially since there maybe forum people who missed out on the presale and might want to see the show with the rest of the those who got tickets in the party section. Deepak Chopra (markie) is being very diplomatic in pointing out that it's not a full time ticket broker thats selling them. Not quite sure what should be done in this case other pointing out that Ebay wasn't the best route to go given the special pre-sale etc. I also think the seller needs to come clean. Maybe others will chime in.
Allright….whoever is behind this come fwd now. If you don't, the whole class will be punished!
Actually I am on the fence about this….
I have no problem reselling tickets for a profit or buying at over face value.
But it is beyond the pail to sell tickets that you got from a special small club pre-sale. It's just too cheeky.
As they have just put an image up on ebay it would be easy to track the tickets and ban them from future presales….

so i am clear…are we chastizing someone because they are scalping tickets? or because they used the 930 Club presale to purchase, then scalp them?
just wondering why we're angry with him.

I just now read through this.
Sounds like the person didn't break any laws or anything, just broke the unspoken fraternity house rules.

ok, so i agree with you guys.
Its ok if you know a show is going to sell out, so you buy some extras and sell them when it does.
but to infiltrate a special presale or fanclub is just weak. hopefully this doesnt start a trend that stands to eliminate these presales.

Has anyone gotten their tickets for the 8th yet? I got the tickets for the 7th, but not the 8th
