scalpers piss me off!!!

[Lopy-slopy]

I heard that blink 182 was comming to toronto and it was gonna be part of their dolla bill tour. so it's only a buck to see them. So I think yea thats awsome. but then they sell out in about 2 minutes and I miss out.

But not 20 mins after they go on sale there up on ebay and some are pushing over 100$ a ticket, and theres still 5 days left in the actions!

I think that is BS. People shouldnt just buy tickets with the sole reason of selling them for hundreds their initial value. It's not fair to people like me who want to see them and miss out cuz some guys wanna make a profit!

If you are a scalper, you should go and die!

as you can see I'm kinda mad right now but

[bornl33t]

ya know, in some states that's illegal. I dunno how it is in Iowa NOW but you never would see ppl at football games holding tickets up in front of the stadium, cause the police were lurking about and would TAKE the tickets off you.

But they are just helping you, by making it so you don't have to see the "new and improved" Blink 182

LOL, exactly.

Same thing happened here. Tickets went on sale at 10, my friend got there at freaking 6:30 and had NO CHANCE of getting tickets... lol of course it WAS at the 930 club, so there were all of about 200 tickets... but whatever.

Not that I mind, cuz I just got myself tickets to see the HFS NUTCRACKER, WITH BLINK 182, CHEVELLE, STAIND, KORN, AFI, OFFSPRING, AND HOOBASTANK!!!!! Man that's gonna rock...

Here in NY its illigle, but people do it anyway, I guess the money they make is worth it. The problem with it is alot of the time they sell fake tickets, so you pay your $100 a ticket, get to the door and they tell you that they are fake. That would really piss me off. Anyway, they get around it here by buying the tickets then going to I think NJ, and selling them. I paid $45 for $17 tickets at an Islander Rangers game. I ended up taking seats that noone showed up for in the lower section, because it was a "obstructed view" section meaning you couldn't see half the game.

I got some tickets for sale if you're interested.... ; )

[krafty]

I always thought ebay had a policy against selling tickets for more than face value?

[Lopy-slopy]

it's not ebay, some states have laws about that, I'm guessing ontario doesn't

Are they for a show in toronto?

[-Carnifex-]

Serves you right for listing to Blink.

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

in Louisiana the law is you can't sell tickets over the face value. I feel that should be the law everywhere, because people are making money for nothing. They are going to make $99 a ticket because they were standing in front of you in a line. Sorry, but to me that is total BS to rob people like that.

[Collegeboy]

I have no problem with what scalpers are doing. For them to get tickets they have to be the ones standing in line for days or so, if you want the tickets, go stand in line for days like they do.
