Ticket "Brokers"

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

The types that buy tickets online, then sell them later at a high profit.

I liken them to drug dealers. They are scum and i have no respect for them, but in a pinch, they are useful to get what you need.

So if I understand this ADP. You have no problem going out getting bids on projects and outsourcing the work to foreign workers (outside the US) and taking your cut as the middle man.

But you think people who are in the industry of using their resources to get tickets so that they can transfer them to other people who are willing to pay more for them and the ticket broker takes their middle man cut are scum?

Do I have that right?

I provide actual services and save the end-user money in the long run.

I actually like it. I love when their stuck with an assload of tickets they can't sell. Good for them, they're entrepreneurs.

I've used a scalper for U of O football tickets for several years. Gotta admit, he really comes thru for me.

I guess I'm an a-hole for buying season tickets for the perqs (like, uh, guaranteed playoff tickets), then taking the ones I can't use (since I live 3 hrs away) and putting them up for auction so that "fans" who haven't ponied up a season's worth of cash can get tickets for Little Timmy's 8th birthday or Bob's Bachelor Party?

My motive? I didn't get to see a Blazers game in the MC. Ever. Always sold out when I was growing up, and it wasn't exactly within the family budget. I paid for the privilege of being able to see any effing game I wanted. If you think I should pay quadruple what you pay for a ticket (since I can get to only about 11 games per year) for that guarantee, it's your right. I think that's a load of crap, though.

Then again, maybe you were generalizing and lumping me in with the guys who stand outside the Garden. In that case, ok.
