Scalping tickets

i have bought them because i wouldn't have gotten a ticket otherwise. why? because the scalpers all got them.there are supposed to be rules about it,but they always get around it. was i satisfied? no.pay an outragous price,and still have nosebleeds. i tried getting one of those "free" tickets for ozzfest last year,and sure enough,they were selling the free tickets.i was so pissed.i know sharon and ozzy meant well,but it just ended up being pure profit for a lot of those guys.

I did get one ticket once to see The BOBS, actually it was a show they opened for, but I only wanted to see them. http://www.bobs.com/

I've never bought or sold tickets to a really big event or anything. I did try to sell an extra pair of tickets to the state fair once, which is not a big deal cuz they're $10. We bought all our tickets presale, so got them at a discount. We bought enough tickets to go 3 or 4 days, and then decided we didn't need so many, we only had enough money to go 2 or 3 days. So we had 2 extra tickets. We sold them at the door for the same price we paid for them... so we got our money back, but the 2 people who were going to the fair that day saved themselves a bit of money. Then one time I was going to a Yankee game with a friend of mine (this was about 10 years ago). It was a last minute decision. I couldn't believe the price of the tickets! I think they wanted like $30 for decent seats, and maybe $15 for the upper level seats. So we ended up buying our tickets off a scalper. I was nervous because that was the first time I'd ever bought tickets off a scalper. I actually had to take the ticket to the counter and make sure it was legit before I'd pay for it! But we ended up getting 2 seats just a few rows behind home plate, and we paid a total of $30 instead of $30 a seat! It was a good deal and I was very satisfied. I have pics around here somewhere, but they aren't on the computer unfortunatly.
