Ahhhh
Ah, Jimmy just sold out Riverbend today in 10 minutes-I think that's quicker than last year. He's not slipping-if anything the economy is tanking. Remember the demand for Jimmy tickets is fairly well correlated with East coast shows and summer shows. Mansfield is after Labor Day so that market is a ...

My Guess
My guess-the guy is legit and a scalper. He realizes the market for tickets is soft and is trying to dump at cost. The economy is tanking the ticket market (Asian Markets are plummeting Monday about 4-4.5% after former 150+ a dollar share investment Bear Sterns was sold for $2 a share-and lucky to g...

Jimmy on Jeoprady
I don't know if it was final Jeoprady but Jimmy was part of an answer (maybe name x out of x number) on Jeoprady when they asked for authors who has a #1 book on both the fiction and nonfiction list. Forget who else was part of the answer besides Ernest Hemingway.

IF
If gas wasn't being scalped by speculators and to an extent OPEC our economy would be in much better shape and we might not possibly be in a war. If medical care wasn't being scalped many of the 40 million including myself without heath car might have health care. Beachbum, pretty much believe back ...

Ticket Prices
And to add to Beachbum ticket prices have skyrocketed. Most shows are now over $100 per for an average ticket.

Ticketmaster Outlets-A Mess in Later Years
Ironically in the years before Ticketmaster went pretty much online the online thing was real inefficient. When ticketmaster first came about (and I have a box office manager at the Meadowlands who basically supports my belief if not fact that Ticketmaster obtained all the old "Tickettron"...

Hypocritical?
MSU-you complain but you never reported your broker friend to anyone? It may not be illegal but there are lots of "Spritzer" wannbes out there... Agreed on the monopolistic thing though-especially in these days after Ticketmaster purchased a leading broker-and has their own premium auction...

MSU Economics 101???
MSU-spending to much time at the hoops and basketball games vs. class? With the advent of eBay and Stubhub you now have "amateurs" that compete against the big brokers whose methods obviously must be curbed (by thge was Ticketmaster has now bought Tickets Now-one of the biggest ticket brok...

MSG
I'd like to see Jimmy bag the Garden shows in September (isn't the same indoors-plus plenty of distractions right after Labor Day)-and it's "offseason". Would like to see a July or August AC show and outdoors show somewhere in NJ (e.g Camden, perhaps even Yankee Stadium).

Worse Than NJ
Soul-it can't be WORSE than Jim McGreevy here in Jersey. As Govermor he put his gay Isreali (I say that becasue I always felt the guy could have been a spy) lover in a high position on his payroll only to be extorted. I heard that he and his gay lover (nor that there's anything wrong with that per s...

I Think
After Saturday night I think Dook is pretending the weekend didn't happen. If they post any update to their web site they have to report on the basketblal game and 2007-2008 NCAA Champs The University of North Carolina Tarheels. GO HEELS!

Ticket Limits
All, these limit rules help prevent reselling extra tickets-at least those sellers without extra credit cards/people to help them. For the most part many people who try for tickets won't even reach the limits before the show(s) sell out. Your best bet may be to try for lawn seats for the tougher sho...

New York
Soul, YES. I don't remember if laws in NY/NYC and NJ have been eliminated over the past few years but in NYC at least they have been relaxed. Unless there has been a wealth of bad publicity (read that Springsteen shows) rarely has any tickets law been enforced. There are some places such as within 1...
