Re: Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

Seems to me that if I were a scalper, I'd wait until I had the tickets in hand to sell and I'd certainly wait until I was sure that the org wasn't going to make them non-transferable. I suspect if/when the org distributes the tickets without making them non-transferable you'll see more scalping act...

Re: Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

Bull.. shit. http://s1.hubimg.com/u/6108716_f260.jpg [ticket listing details removed] Playawaya, you're the kind of person who enjoys torturing squirrels when their a child. I'm sure you are a scalper and made a few sales but you have extensively exaggerated the amount of money you made. You purpos...

Re: Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

reading these replies in this forum cracks me up. FYI scalpers are already on eplaya, trolling just like how you are trolling for tickets. Let me tell you this, I have and know, many brokers who have made hundreds of thousands of dollars of this event already. Good luck getting "HOME"! =] This is a...

Re: Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

The scalper's primary goal (to make money) is also their biggest weakness. As the burn aproaches, if scalpers are actually sitting on hoards of tickets that no one's buying, the asking prices will go down and the market will flood as they try to recoupe their losses, so even if they sold a handful ...

Re: Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

I think I may have to change my mind and agree with the OP that scalpers got very few tickets from the lottery. I agree that last night's announcement was the equivalent of a sold out event, and tickets should have started showing up with greater frequency on scalping sites. Not all of them, but ce...

Re: Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

The StubHub ones are either selling or being pulled and replaced at higher prices. Cheapest last night was around $750, today it's just a couple bucks under $1k.[/quote] Stubhub wont pull these tickets since the seller has confirmation they will be mailed. It is within the normal TOS for Stubhub for...

Re: Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

Also, most amateur scalpers are probably waiting until thy actually get physical tickets mailed out to them so they can post hard ticket in hand listings. Can partiserve revoke tickets for violating TOS #17 once they've been mailed out? 17. This ticket is a revocable license that may be revoked by ...

Re: Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

Because the longer they sit on the tickets, the more desperate the Burners will be, thus the higher prices they can command. It's simple. If people are willing to fork out over $1k now, they're betting on closer to $2k in June. Scalpers don't work together. Just how buyers can't help themselves fro...

Why Are So Few Tickets Being Scalped

I had originally assumed scalpers were waiting to post tickets until after the March Sale. Now that this sale is no longer occurring, there should have been a huge influx to ticket sale sites like stubhub. Right now panic is at its highest, and in general tickets sell for the highest price when peop...
