Thanks Planet!  Thumbs Up

OT- There's already a "special individual" selling tix on Ebay.  Maybe I'll come up with a competing ad...  Evil

Thanks for the heads up on the ebay listing. I just sent that person a respectful note about our community and what it means to sell a ticket above face value.

OK, so I'm scalping a ticket on Ebay too...from 2014.

Check out my ad here... Ebay ad

Dustin or Brian or any Planet person- if this is out of bounds or against your grain in any way, please LMK and I'll pull it.  My goal is to be creatively subversive and let potential buyers know that there's a better way to get tickets.

I just read the Ebay advertisement you were talking about, it made my blood boil. Please post your ad Jolly Pirate. Wipe out this nasty trade. Talk about trying to destroy something wonderful.

In this E-bay ad the seller says he has access to numerous Town Park passes for $799.99.
Disgraceful. Mad

Boycott this seller and send them a nasty note. Evil

That's the one that ticked me off, Tom.

Whoever that is has been selling TP tix on Ebay for several years.  They know and they don't care.

IMO, all we can do is try to let potential buyers know that there's a better way.

I can't believe it!

There are actually web sites set up just to scalp Telluride Bluegrass tickets.
Here's one of them.

Here's another one.

And another.

The thing about these is that those are single day tickets, and those are not for sale until next month.
Moral of the story: Don't buy from scalpers, period!

Saw that today and got a big kick out of it. Thanks for fighting against all that is wrong with scalping.
