Hold on. You've got to rethink this people. Look at the beauty of this!
First off, since no one had a password, I would venture to guess that none of those scalper programs worked. They too were at a loss. This opened the playing field for a much fairer shot at tickets for the regular fan, at least while the glitch delay was in effect and you checked this forum.
Step two: With the networking on this forum, it turned out to be a 9:30 Club insiders' first grabs sale. Don't know about the Lips board but I would bet that once you sleuths got down to business, you all had a better chance at getting tickets. Word probably then got to the band's board soon afterwards.
Of course, by now, the glitch has probably been fixed and/or the word is out across active cyberspace.
Good going, Seth! Pure genius! I like this new method.
