I have cracked the inner sanctum of the ticket broker world! I now have access to the database that all the brokers use! Don't ask me how, but I now can get the tickets you see online for A LOT less the prices you see. They still will be above face value and have a nice mark up, but they will be cheaper than prices you can see.
I will make a promise to everyone on this board. I will charge $5 per ticket plus shipping costs above my cost for any show (I doesn't have to be Jimmy). I charge the $5 because it did cost me a large amount of money to gain access to the promised land and I would like to try and recoup some of my costs. If you are interested simply go onto any of the big broker sites and find a specific set of tickets you want and PM me with the interest. I'll let you know how much I can get them for.
I hope I'm not opening myself up to a giant batch of criticism. All I'm trying to do is save myself money as well as you guys.
When I respond to your PM's please use the quote button so I can remember what we were talking about. I have to delete you messages after I respond to them or my mailbox will get full in a day or two.

No problem with the $5.00, will add you to my list. Last year while searching for tickets, my broker quoted me tickets, tickets I had seen on another Broker site, so I know they all use the big data base in ticket heaven. Any short cut is appreciated.

Openly scalping tickets. Congratulations. It apparently works.

Sounds like scalpping to me. But let's see if it works.

Well....it's scalping to an extent... and its not. Basically he is giving tickets for a lower scalped price. Do give him credit though because he is not making a profit other than $5, he is only offering people lower priced scalped tickets for the people who wish to buy tickets at scalped prices. He's simply offering tickets to people who wish to buy from scalpers at a lower price than what they would normally have to pay. So yeah, he is doing us a favor, technically, even though I still cant imagine paying these prices.
