Scam ? Legit ?
Both these sites have a 100% guarantee, but seems odd.

Like every year, scalpers/speculators bought a bunch of tickets thinking they’d sell them for above FV and make money.
Unlike every year, there’s a massive glut of tickets and scalpers have to sell at any price to recoup some of their loss.

It’s not just scalpers but plenty theme camps got way more via DGS than they needed … cuz greed I guess, or maybe like hoarding toilet paper during the pandemic …
Either way, messy.
Now there’s a bunch of camp folks going double-broke : they paid for the extra tickets + they missed out on the camp fees and dues that them tickets would have brought in.
So I’ll stick with greed : it’s poetic that way.

That's right. More tickets were available to camps than in the general sale. Too many people couldn't get a ticket in the main sale and made other arrangements for vacations, etc. Now people who bought FOMO tickets are stuck and the people who ganged up to buy extra are left with those as well.
