If you are a fan of corporate-rockers, don't complain when you have to jump through the kinds of corporate-spawned hoops that such a product would naturally attract / be supported by.
You should all just be grateful that the 9:30 Club stooped to book this guy/group and buy your tickets from brokers like everyone else.

This happens for nearly every popular show. Ticket borkers hire a lot of people to buy tickets for shows, then buy them off of them and then turn them around for much more. It's a disgusting practice, but not one where they have an unfair advantage over every other person buy tickets (save for the fact that they have many more people clicking the refresh button than you do).

Oh, come on. The 9:30 "stoops" with their booking all the time. Money is the bottom line, not booking cool bands. I'm not being judgmental by saying that, just stating my perception.

Who's to say they actually had tickets? They probably posted before the on-sale time, anticipating that they would have tickets. That way when people start to panic about it being sold-out, the listing is already there.

Very likely. First, I think the capacity is closer to 1200. Even if they limited purchases to 4 tickets, that means it only takes 300 people to sell it out. It's not too far-fetched to think that 300 people were online or on the phone at 10:00. Especially if brokers were targeting the tickets too.
Supply and demand.

I can almost guarantee any of those of you who are bitching that if you kept clicking refresh, you would've gotten a ticket within half an hour. The time you spent complaining on this board could've been wisely spent on trying to get tickets. It is very hard to get shut out of a show at the 930 if you know what you're doing.

I didn't mean to imply it didn't. But the Club could not have built its reputation on folks like Daughtry - but Daughtry and his fans can reap the benefits of performing there. Is 'deign' a better description? How about 's**ked the c**k of satan' [just kidding folks]

I guess you missed the thread pertaining to what I would be spinning during my dj set for this kick ass show.

I honestly haven't heard his album, but his mug seems to be everywhere. I youtubed some of his American Idol performances to see what he was all about. I must say that he did seem like a very polite, nice guy. Not very rock and and roll at all.

Dude, I've got over a month to work on that one. It's the Josh Rouse show that I'm sweating right now. Birchmere management has asked me to play a SILENT set of music between acts, which is going to be tough.
