It pertains to anyone attempting to sell tickets before the initial on sale date:

A Special Message from TicketsNow
Posted on February 6, 2009

At TicketsNow, we're always striving to create for fans the most fair and transparent buying experience. To help achieve our goal, we have decided to only allow postings on our marketplace after the initial onsale. By taking this action, we are the first and only resale marketplace to prevent the posting of speculative tickets before the actual onsale.

They will on occasion release a limited number of premium tickets in select markets for face value, but 90% of the time, those tickets can only be had a week or two before the event. There's a science behind all of this. It's virtually impossible to go to ticketmaster.com right when tickets for a show go on sale and pull up a pair of 1st or 2nd row seats. It just doesn't happen.
