in my opinion, chances are that if you check this site out, you'll be getting the emails from the hip... unfortunately servers aren't always up on par and some people get the emails on time, and others don't..

I'm all for keeping the pw private, but you've got to expect people to share.. I'd be pretty upset if I didn't get the email, and then couldn't find the pw anywhere.. I'm sure there are a few people here grateful for getting the pw when they never got the email.. and from what i've seen everyone has been getting AMAZING tickets.

I'm sure any "smart" scalper would have joined the mailing list anyway.

Just for the record, I search eBay almost daily for any new Hip collectables. I just happened to spot this listing and was stunned. I wasn't there search for tickets (or trying to sell for that matter).

heh, didn't mean to suggest you were. I just assumed you were looking to see if any had popped up after the presale. :thumb:

Doesn't matter, it's a much bigger issue than this one dude. I'm sure we'll see more ebay sales in the future and I will be thinking that perhaps the jerk got the password from here.

Do you see the point of this? Sure a scalper may get the newsletter, but they also just have to log in here to get the password, knowing some "kind" soul will help out a fellow Hipster.

good point, BUT chances are more true hip fans are benefiting through this than the 1 scalper that may or may have not gotten the pw from here..
