There is one person buying up all the seats...pieasy or something like that.

Its really annoying. What about the real fans? What about low prices? I don't understand anything anymore. People are paying mad money for seats..

Its just sad..I wish I were rich, Id buy all the tickets and sell them half price.

Yeah, no kidding. I really though that there were more restrictions on selling tickets in PA. Some sellers are aware of it (probably the scalpers) because they put disclaimers in their ad about how much the max bid can be. But some obviously aren't aware and don't care because they put the tickets at a crazy amount, like $800 or so for two tickets.

I bought tickets on ebay for Stevie's TISL tour, but I only paid face value and they were from a fan who couldn't go . . .

As I posted "elsewhere" I sold my original/extra ticket on eBay Saturday for the exact amount I paid...I delivered it to the buyer yesterday and she was very happy.

I could have sold it for profit but I just wanted to recoup the exact amount I spent for my new ticket...Brian J.

No seriously, this one person is buying ALL the Atlantic City tickets...all of them and I bet he's selling them at twice the price.

I don't think it's fair because they are all going to be like 500 a piece and not even great seats!

My dream is to see them in AC because it will be a spring day in May and I can make a whole day trip from it. How wonderful!

And this person wants to ruin it. I don't have the money NOW or I'd totally buy these seats!

Janet, that really sucks big time. Hopefully there will be more seats available at a later time. Normally what they do is open up more seats as the concert gets closer. I have a feeling we will be able to get better tickets closer to the date without even having to use ebay. Honestly, it may be cheaper going through a ticket broker. My friends cousin is a broker. Perhaps i'll talk to her and see if she can have him work something out for us. Who knows. I'm pretty much out of ideas

The person buying up all the tickets is probably a scalper who will then turn around and sell those tickets at even more inflated prices.
