Toronto, Boston and Camden can be purchased here

But it looks like they're price gouging and scalping.

Same thing is happening here with Hartford.

Same thing here for all the shows. You can pay up to $775 per ticket! Woo hoo!

It's not?

Scalping or Touting (v): To engage in the reselling of something, such as tickets, at a price higher than the established value.

I think this qualifies.

92 bucks for the lawn...super...woot


Now, how the hell do these guys have tickets?

Can't be 10c cause they wouldn't know where they would be.

Has to be an inside job.

I am totally going to make a move about ticket scalping.

That definition doesn't really make sense. The "established value" is whatever price someone is willing to pay. If somone is willing to spend $400 a ticket then the established value is $400 a ticket.

Makes perfect sense. Established value is what the original seller deems to be the appropriate price for selling. Anything on top of this is scalping. How is this not clear?

I've got a bald scalp, does that count? Is this a game?

Not legally.

Scalping is illegal. These wouldn't exist if they were scalping. They have licenses for brokering tickets. They're ticket brokers, not ticket scalpers.

Scalping is an act. Whether or not it's legal is determined by whether a particular municipality has laws prohibiting scalping.

Also, regardless of what it's called and/or the legality, it makes you an ASSHAT.

I'm pretty sure scalping is illegal pretty much everywhere in the US.

Brokering is an act also, what's the point?

I am of the opinion that brokering tickets is simply legalized scalping, and the individuals that do so, are asshats.
