My girllfriend and I are headed out to San Diego tomorrow, and then hopefully to see ED on tuesday and wednesday. But I'm having a hard time finding tix (at a reasonable price). I've been checking TM like crazy but still no luck. So my last resort might have to use a scalper outside of Spreckles. Does anyone know if these bastards are going to be out there before his show? Thanks.

    In Berkeley, bay area land of well organized scalping, there were dudes asking for extra tix -- no clue if he HAD any -- but they were trying....

    I honestly wouldn't count on it -- my buddy got SC from TM 2 days before the gig. Singles were on TM week prior for SC and Berk...

    Thanks.

    Yeah I didn't think their would be too many of them out there. I'll just keep checking TM.

    There were a few people at the Santa Cruz pre party selling tickets for face value. I've gone to several concerts and sporting events with no ticekts and i have never been shut out. You should be able to get tickets.

    Scalpers definitely at Berkeley. Didn't spend too much time in front of the venue at Santa Cruz, so I can't offer up any experience on that. I still love it when some guy walks up to me telling me their desperate story of how they didn't get tix to see their favorite band and then you ask then what their favorite song is... I was actually able to scalp a scalper once over that (Portland '06, made 50 bux off that shithead).. Otherwise to real fans, I've always taken a loss. Worth it to see the smile on a fans face.

    Peace
    Just me

    It's good to know that all the other crime is taken care of in LA so the cops can worry about the scalpers. ;)
