Sorry about that - all these threads that the brokers, or ticketing agents have something to do with it just seem so pointless. People have been getting shut out of events for years. Yes - brokers exploit things like fan club ticketing that are meant for the fans. But, if the tickets aren't there - they don't get them either. A lot of the pricing they're doing is on speculation they'll be able to find the tickets. Also, they make it their job. If you and I sat there all day long everyday, we'd get more tickets too. I called a broker for Blink 182 at the 930 years ago. They had one pair. No one had much more than that. Anyway - if there were something out there giving anyone a special advantage, don't you think it'd be marketed more. The people making that machine would want to turn a profit, wouldn't they?
