A few years ago I got shut out by ticketmaster for the Jones Beach show. When I got home from work the day of the show I drove out there and just started wandering around the parking lot to see what kind of deal I could get on a ticket. It started raining about 1/2 hour before show time and I saw a middle aged guy standing there in the rain and he asked if I needed a ticket. He sold me a $55.00 ticket for $50.00 just so he could get rid of it. I saw the show with this guy, his wife and their 2 kids in the pouring rain and we all had a great time. That's what being a fan is all about. He wasn't trying to make a killiing, he just wanted to get rid of an extra ticket.
I MISSED OUT...THANKS TICKETMASTER!!!!!!

Mr Scott - Seems like you are just trying to get a "rise" out of some very good people here. I feel sorry for you personally, but hey, it's your life.
I have always helped others out when they needed tickets....always. Face value, no more. It's fun to spread good karma!
Hippy - Keep on dreaming girl, you do us all good.
PH - you can speak for me anytime sweety.
HPH - Amen my friend. Can't wait to see you in WPB. The Minister is sooooo jealous!

Scott:
So it's Florida laws you came in here to talk about. That's odd, because in your very first post you bragged about paying $100 for a ticket in the last row.
And the first person who got attacked here was Old Hippy -- by YOU when you posted the following:
"Old Hippie- you are living in a dreamworld! Wake up , smell reality, then try and find something worthwhile to do with yor spare time. I already have MY facts straight thank you.You'll NEVER get a national ban on anything. You are basically just wasting your time. Why don't you try some charity work, and THEN maybe you'll feel better. I know it works for me! Try not to be such a ticket nazi"
yep, looks like an attack to me.
LIPH:
that's a good story, if that was for the Fruitcakes tour I think I have a recording of it.
Buffy:
where's Jerseyrat when we need him?

Hey GA- I'm not trying to get a rise out of anyone, they're doing a good job of raising themselves to some special status all on their own like you are.I am simply trying to stop the spread of disinformation on the internet. Especially here. Maybe there should be a law against it. How about a $10,000 fine and some prison time? I'm trying to lighten up but y'all are still attacking me. That's not nice. "Can't we just all get along?"- Rodney King
1,000 apologies to Old Hippy for harshness, That was not being a good parrothead. Sincere, Mr. Scott

Head- just to keep the record straight, those $100.00 seats I bought were from a registered licensed, bonded, certified ticket & travel agent.
It's NOT criminal. THAT is all I was trying to point out. These are legit buisnesses in Florida.
If you want to get the facts, try to make sure you get ALL the facts. Thanks, Mr. Scott

PH - BWMBO - Giggle!!!!
Mr. Scott - Since I (according to you) have raised myself to some special status, I will not waste my special status energy on you any more. Have a nice little life.
Being of raised status (hey I LIKE that), I will now go sit on the highest barstool in the Sandbar and have fun with some VERY wonderful pholks!
HPH,JW, PH - see ya there.

OK, I've stayed out of this discussion up to this point because I do believe in free discussion in ideas and do not necessarily have a problem with disagreements. However, Scott, you are getting very borderline nasty and ugly with your comments and you are surprised when someone calls you on what you've said. Maybe without realizing it, you have been churlish with some of the nicest people you'll (n)ever meet. You owe an apology to PH and to GaBuffettFan, don't you know that? Better yet, start with OldHippie.

Scott:
When did I say that scalping was illegal? I'm just trying to back up my friend the Old Hippy in regards to the way you attacked her. That's why a reposted what YOU had posted earlier.
Like I said, I won't argue scalping laws with you. Morals on the other hand...if your little acronym means what I think it means then you are a lowlife bastard. Don't open the door if you don't want your neck shut in it!
Ohio:
A BIG FINS UP TO YOU, MY LADY OF THE WATERS!!!
Buffy:
I'm working on building that "Barstool of raised status" for you.
"and from up on that pedestal I couldn't tell that she'd rather be down here with me"

Scott - I'm sorry if your fragile sensibilities were insulted by the acronym you didn't understand. You see, many of us have become GOOD FRIENDS here. Now, by your attitude, you probably have to BUY friends, like you do tickets. But that acronym stands for a nickname I have been blessed with by these kind and generous people. I'd tell you the nickname, but it would be lost on someone as angry and insecure as you.
You poor, poor soul. Or as they say in the south "Bless your heart....."
HPH - I'm savin' a BIG ol' hug for you at WPB baby!
CS - Respectable?????? Me???????? Help!
Ohio -
Now people, lets go have some fun - the hard work has been done. We'll barrel-roll into the sun just for starters!
