Ticket scalpers are also scum. I won't do business with them OR Ticketbastard. It's like
saying that the market demands three card monte players, because there are suckers
who still fall for them. [/b]
And can you explain why they are "scum" any more than you are or anyone
else in the free market that has a product they sell where there is a willing
buyer and a willing seller?
Scalpers make dreams happen for people....willing people that choose to use them
People that have virtually no chance of getting front row seats
Can use a scalper service and treat their bride on their anniversary.
Oh I am sure if the "market value" (face value) of your house or car was X amount
but if someone really, really, really, really just had to have it and offered you 5
times the X anmount you'd say "no thats not fair...I couldnt sell it to you for all that money".
I want excellent seats for events I attend.
I work 60 hours a week and have no interest or time for standing in lines or other ways to get excellent seating.
So as a willing buyer I pay ticket brokers or individuals on e-bay/Craigslist
to figure out a way to get the best seats in the house....then we come
together as a willing buyer and a willing seller to make a transaction.
Thats how the free market works.
You can call me a "sucker" if you want, whatever floats your boat.
But at this point in my life I want to be in the some of the best seats in the house.
I work hard and that is one of my enjoyments.
Obviously it's not as important to you.
Fine, but I do not understand the need to demonize as "scum" people that have different likes/dislikes from you.
