"At the artist's request, the first 10 rows of the main floor are restricted to night of show will call pickup only. This is to prevent reselling and ensure that ticket buyers can access these seats directly from the venue at the original price offered.
Please be aware of the following restrictions:
The original purchaser must claim the tickets in person on the night of show, starting 90 minutes prior to show time. Please bring your confirmation number, a photo I.D., and the credit card used for purchase.
No advance pick up.
No name changes.
No third parties may pick up the tickets on your behalf (sorry, this includes friends and relatives).
These restrictions are necessary to ensure that true fans have access to these seats at the original price offered. If you, the credit card holder, will not be able to claim the tickets in person on the night of show, please click "Decline" below and purchase tickets outside of the first 10 rows main floor. Thanks and enjoy! "

Most sites say : We are a resale market place, not a box office or a venue.
We are independently owned and operated and specialize in sales in the secondary market.
Then they jack up the prices from ten to thousands of dollars , depending on seat location and event.
They immediately obtain the vast majority of the tickets.
Legislative action is the only way to substantially reduce this.
Went to buy tickets for ArcadeFire and I can get really good seats through TM but for $400?!?
Thanks but no.
Thank you 10C!
So scalpers, let's hear your side!
