    Some thoughts:
    what are the 10C rules regarding selling tix? refresh my memory.
    did the guy actually sell the tickets? or did he attempt to sell them?
    if he has only attempted to sell them, has he done anything wrong?

    Im not condoning this and actually I think its great he is made example of but we need the facts to come forward before we continue this endless thread. Please explain more if you can.
    Sad part is he would have never gotten $600 for them, at least I would hope not.

    ps. just in case: at least 5 members from this board can verify that i sell my tickets at face and may sell at least 1 if not two for NYC I bec im going to bos this weekend.

    naw... it says that guy is from pitt... and our ex-10clubber is from mass... and atleast the ebay guy was smart enough to not give him name or how long he was in the 10C... much harder to track down this guy... unless someone has $180 to pitch in just to get his personal interest

    actually, since it's on ebay, it will be easier to track down. 10c has an ebay membership, they can request user info. especially since they are the distributors of the tickets

    I don't support people who want to try to become the world's police, and especially for posting about being so damn proud of it.

    Let the 10C do their job...if they so choose to go after him, then so be it.

    What I would have done, IF I even wanted to get involved, is to warn the guy.

    I see little difference in selling concert tickets vs posters, at inflated prices.

    anything you buy from 10c that requires you to be a member of 10c is not for resale.

    did that thug actually kill you? or did he attempt to kill you? if he has only attempted to kill you, has he done anything wrong?

    i don't think anyone has a problem with selling for face. in fact, i have a group of friends that upgrades each other, sells a single back and forth, buys an extra pair to make sure there's leftovers on the day of a show for last-minute friends to occupy. but we do it amongst each other, for the benefit of each other, and strictly at reimbursement cost only.

    and yes, he probably could have gotten 600 for them. that's as low as half of what i've seen some going for.....

    Why should the guy be warned? If he was a member for 13+ years he should know the rules. Did the 10c give him a warning?

    You don't see a difference in selling tickets vs posters at inflated prices? Posters appreciate in value. Concert tickets have a face value and do not. Pretty simple I would say.

    Weak argument..

    Posters- not as much demand and not as many avenues to sell vs tickets.

    Oh he knows..thats how I know it's official. The TC won't email me back letting me know the outcome, but he let me know his #121,xxx is done, and that he was reported "with evidence" (his words). Also his tickets for the show were evoked.
    Good! I need tickets to night one so maybe they will be released day of!!!

    thanks for watching out for the group!

    Well, the real difference is selling posters at inflated prices is allowed whereas tickets is not. I really can't believe how many people don't see a problem with scalping and are almost defending this guy that got busted.

    A 10Clubber tackled me out of the blue while I was walking into a venue. He said I was trying to sell him tickets for $600.

    Out of curiosity, what is the difference?

    perhaps i should clarify and say that selling anything above face is still scalping...especially if it's a poster sold day after the show happened. maybe i'm wrong...

    The guy that got kicked out deserved it, he broke the rules.

    Would I have come on here and boasted about my part in it, no, but that’s me.

    And for those of you calling this guy a “rat” or tattle tale” – what are you 12? I was under the impression the majority of us here were adults. This name calling harkens back to playground days.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with any fan club member notifying the 10club about this “illegal” selling of fan club tickets. We all pay the same fee and for those of us that follow the rules, we deserve to expect as much from other members.

    Grow up.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    would you have turned him/her in if there was a message that described a possible situation that detailed the need to sale the tickets for such a price?

    1. lost their job?
    2. pay some bills?
    3. purchase pearl jam vinyl or posters

    seriously....i am confused and in all honesty he/she probably was just a flipper. regardless, i know i am not offended by their attempt to sale tickets.

    also.......does anyone have a vintage medium iron maiden t shirt?
    i agree with this post... I mean I'm one of the tc'ers that couldn't get tickets, but I'm not going to celebrate this guy getting kicked out without knowing his reasons. I know a lot of broke people who are doing worse things than this...
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    Who gives you the right? You don't work for the 10C. This guy is a dbag- 100%- but I don't think you should go crawl to the 10C. What's more, you're proud of it!
    Shame on you

    Unless the 10c wants to bring me on board as a paid employee.

    I'd work for cheap and patrol all the boards for them...
