FWIW I agree with everything Edge has said ITT, and those of you that don't are ******ed.

When there's a playoff game at a 40,000 seat stadium, there might be 150,000 people ready and willing to pay face value. Only 40,000 will get in. The more ticket brokers who buy up seats, the more people will actually have a chance of going to the game by buying them on the open market. Who should have the most right to see a sold out game? The ones who were lucky enough to be at a computer at 10am with a fast internet connection? or the ones who value the ticket the highest thus are willing to pay the most?
This is probably the stupidest thing you've ever said. Basically you're saying there is a demand for 40 000 tickets, but **** all those people that want to pay face value, my crack team of people, and other crack teams of people (all with Zero interest in actually attending the event) are going to sell them to a different 40 000 people at an inflated price.
Yes, you're making money, it's not a service. What you and other ticket brokers are doing is a great disservice in fact.
Example. I live in Canada, the CFL is kinda a big deal here. Every Labour Day, the CFL has "Labour Day Classics" across the country. I live in Winnipeg and we play Saskatchewan every year.
Every year, either I or my wife, sits at the computer at 10am, happily trying to get tickets, but b/c or ******ed ticket brokers (and an otherwise high demand) they sell out in 5 ins every year. Only to go on sale on Stub Hub mins later. What service are you providing me here exactly?
FWIW, part of the problem is that Sask, is the only team in the league that uses Tickets.com to sell their tickets (and Tickets.com is LOL bad). But mostly it's brokers like you ****ing me.
