Ticket scalping

Old Hippy · Post by **Old Hippy** » April 3, 2002 7:15 pm

Okay ya'll (that's my friends southern influence rubbing of on me). I visit here quite often, don't post alot, but like to visit.

I see all the grumbles and complaints about the scalpers. Poor me, poor me, I did not get tickets.

But you know what ... how many of you have done anything about it??? I mean other than grumble here and there ... written any letters to your state reps, congressmen, people at DC? Have you contacted your local attorney general to file a formal complaint against specific state.

Together we can all make a differnce. The last 2 years, that's right we've been doing it for 2 years we've managed to make a small difference, but the more the hands the lighter the load.

Thanks!

No one is responding to your tired diatribe. They are too busy securing their tickets by whatever means necessary. This has been hashed over here many, many times and started lots of arguments between good people, so why don't you give it a rest now old hippy?

And why don't you get a name???

old hippy's post was informational, and did not require a string of responses.

I, for one, would like to thank her for all her efforts to make ticket-procurement fair and equitable to all!

Thank you CS. I'd like to go on record as agreeing 100% with you.

oh yes, by all means, thank you old hippy for that totally useless information.

CS - would you be lying if you said you never bought tickets through a broker?

When I see 'Anonymous' show up on my caller ID, I simply don't answer it. I can be pretty certain it isn't anyone I want to talk with.....same goes for anonymous posts.

Thanks all for your support!!!!

Anon - heard enuf from you too.

Said it before, will say it again ticket scalpers do nothing but gain money off of the sweat of others - meaning work of others whether it be the artist or the fans (who work way too hard for their money).

Updating the site daily. Make sure you visit.

Thanks to CS, Key Liming and all the others, we really appreciate your support.

Dude, take your negativity elsewhere. I speak for all of us when I say that it's neither wanted or needed here. Thank you. And my name is PHJRSAUNT.

Did any of you hear something??? Nope....me neither...

Wink.

If you all can break away from patting yourselves on the back, maybe you can go back and see that not one registered user spoke up that it's a bad idea to screw with ticket sellers that are running a legit business. That says a lot about all of you.

So childish to say you will ignore me. You know how much you all like a good fight, and rally together and feel good. That is sad.
Watch the views here pick up at a fantastic rate as this little argument progresses.

Actually, although I may dislike some opinions, especially if they are mean-spirited (and it seems there have been a lot around lately). It bothers me more when it is anonymous and the person doesn't think enough of their own opinion to own up to it.

Is it just me, or does it smell bad in here?

Hey Girls...is this the "Ignorance" thread???....ya know the one when you feel like you want to say something....but cant put your name to it....

.....hmmmmmm

Anon, if thats your real name, it is real sad when a person has such obviously deep seated beliefs yet prefers to hide behind an anonymous tag while being insulting.

These discussion boards have never been a walk the same line type of place. It is a place for people of differing vies to exchange those views and discuss them. We do that here, sometime we agree and sometimes we dont. But at least we do it openly and not anonymously.

And my name is Bearphin!

Play nice and I'll consider getting a name.
The views jumped from 106 to 116 in 5 minutes. That's pretty good.

parrotsgirl · Post by **parrotsgirl** » April 6, 2002 11:21 pm

is that all you want anon???...you want us to play nice???....we can do that....

...but remember....we do things as a team around here...

It really has nothing to do with playing nice anon. It has to do with standing up for your beliefs, even if they are not the most popular.

As for joining, knowing this group you would be welcomed, unless you continued to be insulting. That we dont tolerate. Fun is one thing, but we dont allow it to go over the line.
