Paying $400 to Stand Outside the Beacon

Anybody reading this who had been looking forward for months to seeing Ed at the Beacon, and got shut out of the 10C presale, and sweat blood deliberating whether to pay the scalpers' price, and be thrilled tonight when you were finally going to get what you paid for... only to be told the tix were fake???
My heart especially goes out to the young man whose wife had bought the tickets for him as a birthday present.
Pretty heartbreaking.

It is always possible.
I'm pretty sure, from what I heard yesterday that they were printable tickets purchased on StubHub. I suppose that printable tix from other than the original vendor will not be an option in the future. I use the print at home feature from TM/LN and that's been fine, but StubHub is just "people" selling tix, right? Bad news. :(

Seems like this is something that should be addressed with StubHub if it was indeed them they got the tickets through.
yeah i saw that..but pretty sure the one who got shut out yesterday with the printable tix got them on stubhub but they were confiscated by the venue etc.

What is someone supposed to do when tix are sold out and they are desperate to go? Chances have to be taken sometimes.

i'm so glad i didnt give my money to scumbag scalpers like alota people on here did. they always say buy beware and will it's true.
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
I have bought from scalpers and ended up in the first few rows, for equal to or less than face value. Sometimes you just have to go for it. I am sure there are plenty of people who bought from scalpers and had a great time tonight. Sucks they had to pay more though.

I must say that I was a little mad to see that people who were on the box office line ended up in the first 6 or 7 rows of orch and I was in the loge for the second night though 10C. Not mad at 10C- at the venue. Seats were good anyway though.

I remember only 1 Mets team. It was 1986. Damn You Damn you all to hell Mooookiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I hate scalpers. They give you a headache
What time were you in line? Do they usually sell the remaining tickets just before the show, or the day(s) before, or what? There were a bunch of people waiting in line but we were told no more tickets were going to be available.
Yeah, that's how I felt. I did take a chance and I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I knew it was a risk and I decided to take it. I mean, how often does Ed play a small venue right down the street from where you live? :shock: I'm gonna miss that? Maybe there would have been smarter strategies. I think I underestimated the chances of a bad outcome b/c I've had surprisingly good experiences in the past.
Does this happen with every show?
I wanted to think that if Ed knew we were standing out there having been duped, he'd let us in-- but he'd probably say 'sorry but that's what you get for dealing with scalpers.' :oops:
Thats why I never go for etickets, just too much risk.
