So I guess it's not only BM that has 'glitches' in the system. I'll bet they get nailed. I never liked using them if there was any way to buy tickets directly from the venue. I always thought their fees were way too expensive for the service they provided.

I think they're involved in the scalping too.

I posted about a musician that blocked scalping of his shows on here.
Drawing a blank now.
Probably on the bman scalping thread.
It can be blocked.

Don't transfer tickets.
Simple.
