Do I have to reply to all 3 of these or just one?

You guys are the best. I appreciate that you're not buying my tickets. Hence the fact that I never put a link to my site.

You just seemed to be jumping on this guy from the get-go. There isn't a thin line between brokers and scalpers... there is quite a difference.

Regardless, I don't care if you don't buy tickets from me or my company. We do just fine.

Thanks and I hope you all have a great day.

You're right, there is a big difference.

Brokers have an arrangement with the producers of the show to receive some portion of tickets to sell through their own service. See: Telecharge, Ticketmaster, Broadway.com, and TDF.

Scalpers have no such agreement, buy large numbers of tickets at face value, then resell them at much higher costs, keeping 100% of the profit. See: the first post on this thread.

You, sir, are a scalper, and you are never going to convince anyone here otherwise.

You should go to this... you would learn a lot! You might have a new perspective on the ticket industry.

We have no guarantee that you are even selling REAL tickets. All of us have witnessed the embarrassment of sitting in a theater and witnessing an usher escort someone out of their seat because they'd bought a counterfeit ticket and the seat rightfully belonged to another patron.

Just go away. Please.

I'd rather see someone smack your balls around for a few hours.

"I'd rather see someone smack your balls around for a few hours."

Now that I might pay a scalper to see. ; )

If that is the gayest thing you ever heard you really don't come to the theatre chat boards that often. Other then to scalp your overpriced tickets.

I checked it out and it has nothing to do with scalping. It's called a ticket broker. There is a difference.


Sure..like the difference between a streetwalker and a call girl.


IF anyone is willing to pay inflated ticket prices, let them go to the B.O. and buy "premium" seats. That way the money goes to the production and not to scalpers.

Of course it is supply and demand, but when performances of a show are generally available at regular prices, who in their right mind would pay two or three times the going rate of prices available at the box office by going to this site. Are you people insane"

Call it scalping, rip-off, or just an "easy way to pay twice or three times as much for tickets as you need to". I don't care, but anyway you slice it, only an IDIOT would use the site being advertised, when you could save hundreds of dollars simply by going to the box office and getting better tickets at a fraction of the price.
