Comments on: eBay buys StubHub – sell your crap and buy tickets at the same time! http://www.centernetworks.com/ebay-buys-stubhub Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:27:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: shaxs http://www.centernetworks.com/ebay-buys-stubhub#comment-11714 shaxs Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-11714 Well, for one, I hate ticket scalpers. They suck. Here in San Diego, the Broadway show for Wicked sold out a whole week within hours. Why? Dumb ass companies like this are allowed to pre-purchase tickets in huge numbers. Then, us little guys are forced to buy them at ridiculous prices. I took my girlfriend to see the Ling King on Broadway for our 2 year anniversary. I had to pay $250/ticket. Its just frustrating. Anyways, ticket scalping is technically only illegal if you are trying to scalp tickets on or near the premise of the event. It's interesting to see a guy holding a sign, two blocks from Qualcomm, trying to sell his Charger tickets to people. Sheesh. Scalpers and paparazzi = crap. Well, for one, I hate ticket scalpers.
