You can't compare that to a regular show -- if that were the normal M.O. that the club had to go through, tickets would probably be as expensive as through a broker anyhow.
uh, you missed my point... extra precautions aren't needd for most shows, so this doesn't need to be the usual M.O. - only for shows like JT, the foos, prince, etc. the idea is to limit scalping, only the "big" shows are scalpable.
Remember, there were NO tickets sold to that Foo show -- they were all won, so every person's name was on a list. Because of the complexity of the event, there was a very rigorous and resource-intensive process to get folks in legitimately.
we must be thinking of different shows, tickets were definitely sold to the last foos show at 930 (last fall). tickets were limited to 2 per order, i believe that when you picked up your bracelets you needed to put one one immediately. could be wrong about those details...
PS, if I had to go through that for every show, I'd probably stop going to most.
absolutely, way too much hassle. but i never said or intended to imply that all shows need the hassle, since us regular civilians can get tickets to those.
