I have 2 fan club seats $700 Each which will be on the floor....most likely in the first 20-25 rows. I will grab them in the AM on Monday and you can pick them up from me in the city after 1 p.m. the day of the show. Please let me know if you are interested...they are selling for $1500 or more each on web ticketing sites. This is a deal. This is what I found on craigslist. This is the third one i have come across. In conclusion, my theory is correct. The pearl jam fan club members are the real scalpers. The guy probally has another account and goes to show and sells his front row tickets to pay for his whole entire tour.

    so making a move or contacting the the 10c is not snitching?
    who made you ticket moderator?
    and Im not saying I support reselling of tix for profit, not at all

    who are you to moderate what he does or doesn't do? ... this band has always been about more than just the music ... their fights with ticketmaster and so on were for us ... and this is how we repay them by scalping tickets? ...

    Seriously, who gives a shit?? By opening up the 10c ticket windows at 11am, theyre making it easier to sell your fan club tix.

    The guy selling those tickets...

    Could be paying his mortgage with that money
    Could be buying groceries for his children
    Could be paying for a bone marrow transplant for his 3yr old daughter....

    Or better yet...He could be sending the money to the West Mephis 3, to help free those convicted child murderers...

    In other words...You have no fucking idea why he is doing what he is doing.....

    So mind your own fucking business....

    fair enough-I do not disagree with anything you say
    but let the 10c take care of enforcing its policies, no need to be calling people out in the forum
    you want to send an email to the 10c fine, which I did when I though it was disgusting that the crime against Jeff was being broadcast on you tube, but why the need to publicly call someone out in the forum?
    its no secret that there are many scalpers with 10c memberships

    Whatever the motive, the seller is wrong. But yeah, you are right, who cares. It doesn't affect anyone but the seller and buyer.

    If someone is mugging my neighbor though, I'm not going to say "well, the guy putting a gun to her head has kids to feed too." Just saying this argument shouldn't be used to support things. Like "we can't stop marijuana smoking, so let's legalize it." Wrong is wrong.

    fair enough, no link was posted.

    But you cant seriously be comparing ticket scalping to domestic violence. Being tolerant of ticket scalping will not lead to anarchy.

    Considering that there was just a post the other day of someone, flying from Italy to London, who was not allowed pickup 10c tickets because they were in ordered by another user, I applaud what you did(posted). Rules are rules.

    Not cool scalping tickets.

    (Oh... the situation given that the money might be being used for some great good... that was a good one :lol: Thanks for the laugh).

    well ... you brought up examples of paying his mortgage ... and feeding his starving children ... that to me is just as loopy ...

    again - you have a right to your opinion ... but so does the OP ... trying to ostracize like he's doing something wrong isn't right in my opinion ...

    I dont give two shits what hes doing with the money. Scalping sucks and I hope the guy gets caught. Last i checked scalping was illegal. 10C does a lot to avoid scalpers. What if they just decided to let them run rampant and your seats suddenly got more expensive and difficult to obtain -- then you might think differently.

    No one HAS to buy them.

    A friend of mine paid £300 to see PJ at the o2. I told her she was a fool - she thought she got a bargain *shrugs*

    If no one paid it, then no one would sell them. It's the same with poster/merch flipping.
