{DANDOM-NYC] F&%k The Scalpers & Agencies

[hoops]

Just a reminder...and please this is directed at the many great 
intentions of more than a few here.

One huge reason this list was started was to tell scalpers and ticket 
agencies -- including the likes of Stub Hub -- to go F%&K themselves.

We are fans and we have to compete with these places which have no 
other purpose than to compete with us so we (as in the collective 
"we")  have to buy tickets at high prices.  Even fr igg in' ticket 
master does it although they do guarantee the legitimacy of tickets.

A shi tty thing that happened at Indy was that I bought the ticket of 
someone who was at the Danfest.  But not directly.  The  thing 
was,the person at the Danfest sold the ticket to a scalper and then 
since all the tickets were sold to scalpers I had no choice but to 
buy (only for the second time in my life) the same Danfan's ticket 
via a scalper at something like 50% mark up.

No you may balk at my having this one of few requirements--but it's 
one of three reasons I go to the trouble.  F&% the system.  BTW:  I 
would spell out F  * u * c * k but some people's spam filters bounce 
the mail back when it it uses the actual word.

Let's help each other--not the scalpers.  People are slowly 
surrendering the internet to moneyed concerns.

Best,

Jim
