Also, I really hope they don't do sheds! I hate the heat and I hate bugs and the sun, if it is too bright. I like the nice Air conditioning!

A scalper is someone who charges about up to 4 times the $ of the face value of the ticket. I did that for the Dance shows. I did not do that for the SYW shows but I did eat some tickets.
I got some tickets the day they went on sale and they were not the best. A few days before the show I was able to get better seats. In many cases I never sold my other tickets. So, it was as if I had gone to a scalper anyway for the $ that I paid.
I am with you on the sheds! Not mention the horrible traffic at the Tweeter Center in MA. YUCK. I also don't like the sheds because they are mostly in some far off town from a major city. The arenas being located in most major cities make it easier for people like me that travel to different shows.
