Regarding Pre-Sales: I don't like as a fan (but love as a seller) because most of these presales are during working hours during weekdays. Major brokers have all the time and resources in the world for this sort of thing. And from experience (Madonna, Neil Diamond) it does little to relieve that Int...

Regarding Mail Order Sales, I politely disagree here from experience (which happens at the outdoor venues anyway) Bruce Springsteen had a mail order sale for the first shows at what is now Continental Airlines Arena (July 2,3,5, 6, 8 and 9 1981). Mail order allows non-fans to get in on the action wi...

Another solution which other artists use is fan clubs or benefit clubs. However, this is is unworkable for such popular artists as Jimmy as there are simply too mnay fans. Some artists have a separate tickets sale for their fan club only. Others such as Elton John, have a benefits club in which you ...

Tamp and Phin Phan: The point I am trying to make is that you were blasting my morality while you guys are advocating "live a little" stuff which is often illegal (ditto the tickets if the law is not followed properly). If selling a few pairs of tickets if my worst fault I'm sure I'm not t...

An an experienced concert goer and Springsteen fan (the most knowledgeable fan base who dsicovered many of these methods and experiencedsuffered from some of this fraud big time first hand during the 1984 Born In The USA Tour"), there is some TOP great advice and true stories here. These people...

Tampico: No I do not agree with borkers cutting deals with Ticketmaster (never heard of that happening) arenas (does happen)and believe such individuals should be punished. I and most eBay sellers sell only few pairs of tickets for a given show in a given area. I'm not a big broker at all. However, ...

Tampico, maybe if you sat in line for tickets over the years instead of complain you would learn something and no need to post. I learned from others. Maybe you should do the same. You are entitled to your opinion. I used the 11/16 benefit as an oportunity (thoough Jimmy sales) to raise funds of my ...

I just want to add an addendum on eBay here. If you are that worried about fake tickets (by the way that is a big issue on the street at Madison Square Garden as they supposedly have more than a few repeat violators who have been caught selling fake tickets time and time again. Supposedly have pictu...

Please read my posts for a few tips under "scalpers must hate Springsteen". eBay is a great way to buy tickets. As stated, look for sellers with a high feedback rating (the number next to their names/ebay ID's). If you have questions, feel free to ask them. Most sellers want positive feedb...

I just want to add an addendum here. A great idea here would be to create a Parrothead website for buying (technically no markup here though people make offers) selling and trading when a tour rolls around. A Springsteen fan did this in 1999 and it was FANTASTIC. I spent the whole month of July 1999...

Hi Parotheads: I'm an e-Bay broker with a perfect feedback record (who will be looking for full time work with three degrees) who LOVES Bruce Springsteen (#1) and maybe after MSG can say Jimmy's a repaidly rising #2. I am not mad at Bruce at all for this ticket method (I was at one show last year in...
