John's on NBC Nightly News!

I was watching NBC nightly news just now and they showed a clip of the GGD's because they were doing a story about ticket scalpers. They mentioned that the GGD's were upset that tickets get bought up so fast by scalpers so that lots of their fans had to pay the high prices scalpers charge & not the ticketron prices....
He looked fantastic!!!

Yeah, seriously. I thought I had a chance with Nine Inch Nail tickets. Both shows sold out in less than a minute, but I can find them for at least four times the original price on EBay.
I better get in line now to get tickets for the fall shows. >_<

ok, i'm just wondering here, as i have gone through ticket scalpers for Goo tickets before. . .how do they get them first? i mean, they've got these great seats, outrageously priced, and on ebay before they have even gone on sale to the public. . .how do they get first dibs?. . .

I wish I'd saved the link to the article I read. Basically, a lot of scalpers are getting people on "the inside" (like someone working at the ticketmaster outlets) to print out prime tickets ahead of the on sale date. So they're "sold" before the public ever gets the chance to get them.

I think the only way to "help" is to avoid buying tix from them...It will never TOTALLY go away unfortunately. Supply and demand sucks!

I dont know how they do it but the brokers are in with the venu as well as ticketmaster .
They have their own little sale to get prime tickets .
I wish the Goos would sell tickets thru their site .
Maybe we would have a shot at good seats then .

I agree! I am tired of travelling hours to see them, and I end up in the nosebleed section.  I miss the "general admission" days. I was up front then!

all the general admission concerts i have been to, i've had really bad luck with, including one general admission Goo concert. and i know i shouldn't buy from ticket scalpers, but it's hard not to. . .for me anyway. . .
most of the time, the concert is out of state and i'm not travelling all that way, as somebody else said on here, for 'nosebleed' seats. that's a waste of my time and gas money. i did that one time and i will never do it again, it was the worst show i had been to, and not because Goo wasn't great, they were. . .it was the fact that we drove like 3 hours, had to watch them on the screen, it was hot and all my sister did was complain that my purse was hitting her. then back at the hotel everyone was in a crappy mood and i blame it on my nosebleed seats. if our seats were awesome, i think my sister could have cared less if my purse was hitting her. . .*sigh*. . .so, from that day forth, i made a solemn vow; if i had to beg, borrow, cheat, steal or kill i would never have nosebleed seats again! i went all scarlet o'hara on ya, didn't i?  ok, maybe not that drastic, but ya get what i'm saying. . .
