I know this has been complained about several times before, but......

How can it possibly be legal to buy Hip tickets in the pre-sale, and turn around and sell them for 3-4 times the price on Ebay? It's aweful.

I want to buy some more tickets for the Ottawa show in Feb., but all you can get is the 200-300 levels. What a shame.

Now, if I venture over to ebay, I can have any seat I want.....for any price that they want.

What ticks me off even more is that these are not people who bought tickets, and now can't go. Nor are they people that are just trying to make a few extra bucks. These are people that are now doing this for a living. They are completely screwing the system. I mean, they're in the U.S., Europe, wherever, and they're buying tickets to our concerts, and re-selling them to us at a marked up price. Whose dumber, us or them?

Paying $25 for shipping? What the hell? This just perplexes me. Anyone else ticked?

Sign me up as pissed off about this... however for the recent Montreal shows at The Metropolis I was able to get tickets through eBay for less than cost.

:rambo: To all of them!

Same thing is happening with NHL tix in Buffalo right now. What is this Toronto?

Anyways, the fans would be doing a lot better during the pre-sales had it not been for scalpers just waiting to make a few bucks. I can see upping the price a tad, but the amounts are insane. The sad thing is, they set them that high because people are dumb enough, desperate enough (or rich enough) to buy them.

I used to go into a pre-sale with confidence. Now it is a crapshoot.

It seems like a losing battle until someone comes up with a solution.
