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?
