Tickets to Amsterdam 26/07 -- scalpers?

So, I happen to be in Leiden, which is close to Amsterdam. I didn't know I would be here, and that's why I haven't bought tickets to the Eddie Vedder show today (that is happening right now, I guess) or tomorrow. But, well, here I am, and I realized that a Eddie Vedder show would be a very nice extra to my holidays, so the first question is: any chance of someone selling two tickets for tomorrow? (Thursday, 26th July 2012.)

Well, if the answer is no, as I am quite sure it will be, then I was wondering -- is it a bad thing to buy from those guys that are always selling tickets near the gigs (i.e., scalpers)? I mean, first of all, do you fellas consider it a bad thing, a not very ethic thing to do? Would you do it -- or already have done it? And, last but not least, is it dangerous? Could they be fake tickets?

I am very inclined to get into the train tomorrow afternoon to Amsterdam, and try my luck, but these doubts are killing me... so I would love to hear some opinions or advice from my friends! After a couple of replies, I'll decide what to do.

(And, of course, if someone has two spare tickets, please let me know! I can get them at the gig, and pay for them in cash!)

Thanks in advance!

    You may get lucky at the box office, sometimes a few tickets can become available on the day.

    I don't know if there's a pre party or anything arranged, but if there is, that might be a good place to try and get a ticket.

    Fellas: thanks for the advice. I decided not to go... if it were Jimi Hendrix resuscitated, I would do anything to go see him, but, well, it's not the case. As much as I like the solo albums by Eddie Vedder, missing the shows won't be anything to regret too much. And I remembered that I found the tickets prices extortionate when the shows were announced.

    Anyway, thank you all!

    Dimitri: you're talking about Rhodos, right? It's wonderful indeed!
