No problem! I dont mind supporting the scalpers Well you're a fucking idiot and a piece of human garbage then. Congratulations. Well I could not be home right when single day tickets went on sale, I'm glad the scalpers had some at reasonable rates. If that makes me an idiot for paying $40 more so I can still see Flaming Lips perform the Soft Bulletin live then so be it ;D

Wow, eye8 totally preempted that guy's question. Either that or since he was yelling we heard it faster. The board's been whacky lately, but fuck it, my rage totally demolishes the space/time continuum.

If you fuckheads are buying tickets from scalpers, you better not be buying them from fucking squatchcreep. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. lollllll Hook, line & sinker.. LOL the fucking scalper asshole made a joke about scalping tickets and the spoof is on me because it's impossible to tell when he's joking about scalping and when he's actually doing it. Good one dude. So hey, tell me... How does it feel to be the one person out of like 150 active posters on this board that is universally hated by every single one of us? Seriously, I wanna know. I mean, I tried... I'm an asshole but everyone still seems to like me. What's your secret?

Yeah but you are saying you are happy to support them. It is partially their fault you have to buy from them anyway. I have grudgingly bough scalped tickets, but I do not support scalpers in any way.

Theres no events around me where scalping tickets doesn't happen. The brokers I buy from make it living off it so good for them. If they weren't doing it someone else would be.

Well maybe they should get a real fucking job instead of screwing people over. If that scalper hadn't already bought those tickets, you could have had them. If the people that are currently committing crimes weren't, then other people would. Oh, ok, then crime is perfectly acceptable.

Well for one I could not have purchased the ticket I did direct from Live Nation or Ticketmaster because it is in the VIP Box seats section, which was the same price as the regular GA tickets. Until they find a way to seriously counteract this it will happen

Have tickets ever become available again on ticketmaster in past years? I know that with other concerts tickets are added due to various reasons. My mom was able to buy Sat and Sun tickets for me and one friend got sat but all my other friends got shut out.

Until they find a way to seriously counteract this it will happen I feel like you are missing the point entirely. I understand you got a ticket and they were sold out and yay awesome sasquatch. But you are acting like it is not a completely morally reprehensible practice that spits in the face of society as a whole and especially the feeling of community that is fostered in the festival environment.

Nobody is committing a crime, it's legal to sell tickets in Washington State. It's all about ethics when it comes to scalping.. Either you agree with it and buy tickets, or you hate it and don't buy tickets.. You choose & don't hate.. You must be the kind of person that tells people "you know you really shouldn't smoke cigarettes".. Stop policing others & deal with your own issues..

I was saying the logic 'well if they don't do it someone else will' is totally flawed. And I am not policing anyone, I am expressing my opinion that scalpers are pieces of shit. I can't believe I am even responding to you.

Ok now what the fuck. Here we are in the 'Tickets' section of the board where it CLEARLY says SCALPERS UNWELCOME. And yet here is squatchcreep, doing what? And to add insult he's lecturing US on the ethics of scalping?
Add this to the growing list of board policy violations with all of the various personal lines crossed, the dozens of wasteful topics started and the pervasively disruptive manner of every single one of squatchcreep's posts and then tell me: WHY. THE FUCK. IS SQUATCHCREEP STILL HERE.
I'm totally fucking serious, what is the deal? Nobody wants him here, there is nothing valuable about any of his posts, AND HE IS A FUCKING SCALPER WHO IS ACTIVELY ATTEMPTING TO SCALP TICKETS. We have the ability to click a button and make him go away forever and I would seriously like to know why we don't do that and just forget about it.
Also, squatchcreep, to quote James Murphy's majestic letter to you and your swine brethren:
You fucking fuck.

I think we get fucked bad enough by Livenation without getting fucked even worse by a scalper. Scalpers are the lowest form of two bit hustlers. You scalpers should graduate to steeling hubcaps or something. Maybe even purse snatching from old ladies.
