I used Ticketsnow last year to see Stevie. Basically I was connected over the phone to a ticketsnow agent who arranged with the seller for me to purchase the ticket. The agent told me it was a law firm (she even told me the name of the law firm and where it was located) who had purchased a bunch of tickets for clients, but apparently Stevie is just not that popular! This was on the day of the show, and I was able to get a ticket for $50 below cost (be patient and let the resellers sweat it out is my motto). My point is there are "clients" reselling their tickets, but one wonders how they got all the good tickets in the first place. That's where the shady part comes in. I always surmised that Ticketmaster sold off all the good tickets to these types of clients and then put them on sale to the rest of us plebs.
