How does this happen??? This is just sickening! We spend the last two days trying to get tickets just to find out that these people already have them all and are going to charge you at minimum double the face value.

this is going out of control

I know I'm stating the obvious here. But that's fucked up.

How in the hell does someone get their hands on 83 floor seats in less than the one minute it took for the pre-sale to be sold out?

If you're going as a single, I recommend that you buy your ticket quick. As the date approaches, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to purchase a single ticket. Brokers don't want to get stuck with a single so they start to sell them only in even numbers.

I know you're all frustrated, but those tickets look cheap to me. I was trying to get tickets for a Prince show at a shitty arena. I generally won't set foot in that arena but it's Prince. You can see Beasties on the floor for less than it would cost to buy tickets in the second deck at my Prince show. Praise the lord that I have a friend with a nice extra pair on the floor, because scalpers want nearly $1000 each for good floor tickets.

I still can't believe that last time I saw Prince I got two tickets in the 8th row via Ticketmaster in the general sale.

cant the beasties' management track this guy and report him to the proper people, i mean this type of behavior cannot be legal. its definitely not fair, and the bboys seem like the types that would potentially do something about such bullshit if they were aware of it.
