Re: Be part of the solution
Hey guys...uh, remember the title of this post?? Be part of the solution? At this point my post has denigrated into chest thumping and angry words.

Re: Do the math: over 50% of tickets went to scalpers
I agree. The actual percentage it totally speculative...but, I believe many tickets went to people wanting to sell them above face value.

Re: Be part of the solution
So, I guess a scalper and a person can make a side arrangement to gift tickets on the website...but thats so sketchy its on par with the (fake) Nigerian DubStep camp scam.

My friends and I, both long time burners and newer ones, have been discussing some potential solutions to the ticketing issues this year. Be more like FireDrums: I go to a fire dancing festival ev...
