DON'T POST YOUR PITTSBURGH N1 TICKETS FOR FACE VALUE RESALE!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I love this community and the stuff posted here, I just haven't had the bandwidth to participate all-in and I don't like doing things less than that. 15 shows under my belt (Mansfield 2003 Night 3 anyone?) and my 18 year old son has 2 - Pittsburgh N2 will be his 3rd or 4th depending on whether we get tickets. My son hasn't seen them play Black yet... trying to make that happen before Monday morning. (I'd be fine with less Ten in the setlist, and I'd love to hear Other Side, but I digress...)
I'm imploring anyone that is considering posting their Pittsburgh N1 tickets for face value resale to avoid doing that.
I've spent 15+ hours over the last few days clicking refresh on the Ticketmaster website and am now in turbo-mode last night and today, refreshing every 5-10 seconds for hours. Trying to do this manually, so as not to fall into the same camp as the [you insert the adjective] that are going to scalp these tickets. Every 20 minutes or so, one or two tickets come up. I'm not The Flash, but each time I click through everything as fast as I can - most times I don't even get the tickets carted and even the two times I did the tickets were gone before my purchase was processed. This can't be human - no way - and so if you're posting for face value resale you're just giving your tickets to a scalper with a ticket bot at a discount.
>And my account just got locked out of searching because I "might not be human". Ironic.<
My prime request would be for someone to help me get two tickets - however we make that happen. It would mean a lot to us, and we'll certainly be in town with flight and hotel already booked. We're happy to meet and walk in with you... we'd love to meet the kind souls that would help on this. I'd even say come kayaking with us on Sunday morning, but the tour company just cancelled our float due to high water... I can't pay the prices on the resale sites and so I'm not sure if we're going to the show. I'll probably be one of the guys with a "need two tickets" signs tomorrow... feel free to say hi.
But if you can't help me and my son out, at least figure out how the scalpers are reselling these tickets and do that yourself! I've heard that the need for ID with tickets isn't enforced, so maybe just posting to [StubHub, etc.] will work. Tickets are probably going for 3x face value +, and I'd rather see that premium go to Ten Club members than to scalpers.
Food for thought anyway... I've got to pause my search for a little while, though Ticketmaster just did that for me anyway, but would love for some contact if anyone reaches out.
Enjoy the show. Hope I can enjoy it with you.

I feel a bit silly for the original diatribe post with lots of folks in the same boat. Sorry to people didn't score and hope folks that did didn't end up with too much stress.
[Dirty] Frankly, I'm not sure it was worth all the hours of click, error, click, error... If I could have swung the $5/600 x 2, that would have been easier. Just terrible to support the scalpers and I'd much rather see that in the hands of a fan. I just don't see a way to do it.
