I know enough to know that there's nothing to be gained by trying to engage in rational discussion with you, Rev. I know that I have tried to explain why I think nobody but you is so up in arms about homecoming ticket scalping and it hasn't had any effect. I recognize that it is as likely that the failure to communicate is because my explanation was ineffective/unconvincing as it is that you are dense, but either way I'm not going back there. Nor am I gonna get sucked into side shows about the the appropriate age of Xmas gift giving or the fine distinctions between regional playground insults.

But the irony of you making the statement quoted above in the same breath that you dis our community requires a response. Why the fuck do you think Craig, Matador or anyone else associated w/ the band would give you a freebie because "you've bought enough merch over the years"? Do you think it's because of your charm? Your good looks? The actual amount of merch you may have bought? Wrong. It's because of the nature of this community. And if you don't understand that I feel sorry for you.

One final note and I'm done with this bullshit. Just out of curiosity I did a search for DBT tickets and here are the results.
These are just SOME OF the sites currently selling overpriced tickets and the amount they have for each show.

Name of site Thurs FRI SAT

VIVIDSEATS: 18 33 38
STUBHUB: 6 24 30
VIAGOGO: 46 40 40
TicketW.com: 0 0 48
EVENTTICKETS: 20 40 48
CHEAPTICKETS: 0 64 72 (This policy's mean)
TICKETNETWORK: 36 52 50
SEATGEEK: 58 79 82
GAMESTUB: 36 52 50
EXCITE.COM: 34 52 45

TOTAL: 254 436 503

NOW.....considering the 40 Watt Club only holds 850, that means OVER HALF THE VENUE has been bought up by these so called "Ticket brokers".
Not exactly a few random kids trying to make some "beer money", now is it? While I understand most of you don't give a shit, let me ask you this.....
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THEIR TICKET SALES WILL BE DONATED TO NUCI'S SPACE????????????
Think about that while you pat yourselves on the back for being fortunate enough to afford buying tickets FOUR MONTHS IN ADVANCE!

I very much doubt all those sites are the actual possessors of the tickets. They are fronts for the actual possessors, who advertise them in multiple places at multiple prices. I've seen that done so many times in so many different ways.

FWiW, I met Rev last year and shared some pre-show slices with him and Clams... Nice guy with more than a few stories to tell, and not at all akin to "a bag that holds the water that clean the vagina", and not as desirable as some Chooch

Seems to be a valid point about ticket scalping, although the combination of Rev's 3DD rep, the Xmas gift/credit card return and the comment about having paid enough $$$ on merch are more than enough to get this crowd riled up... Also, despite having never met Zip, anti-Zip attitude is a wonderful thing to behold.

Before you assume: no, I am not ingesting fungi, just a fun guy, and will be happy to buy any of you a beer at the 40 Watt... Well, perhaps a low-boy PBR... You gotta earn the Silo.

I don't think anyone here is particularly fond of scalpers. Hell, there's an explicit site policy that making money off the band gets you banned (who even knows if the pun is intended in these troubled times). I think the general blasé attitude you see is just recognition that this is the way it is and there's not much any of us can do about it aside from refusing to participate in it. That said, sometimes you want to see a show and decide that paying a premium is preferable to missing the experience altogether.

As others have said, I don't think that you can just add up the numbers from each site and assume they're all unique ("unduplicated") tickets. In fact, Seat Geek's whole claim to fame is sort of being the Kayak.com of ticketing middlemen: they aggregate tickets from the other sites. I don't know all these sites, but most if not all of them are simply middlemen between buyers and sellers (like Uber), so it's not the case that some corporate entity owns dozens upon dozens of tickets. They just take their 10% or whatever in exchange for brokering the transaction and move on.

Per the 40 Watt's website, its capacity is 500. The smaller capacity strengthens your point that a not-insignificant proportion of tickets is listed for sale. But I doubt very much that more than half the available tickets are posted for resale.
All it takes is one wicked heart, a pile of money, and a chain of folks just doing their jobs

I've seen you both in the 40 Watt....or did I? Who knows? Many people are saying you're the same person and you can't trust the fake news MSM.

Really? I can't think of ANYTHING more insulting than someone accusing me of supporting a pussy grabbing baby rapist.
So, you're a Trump fan eh? No wonder you're so full of hate.
