Fucking Scalpers

I am really pissed off right now. I have been patiently waiting, like the rest of the Parrotheads, for the Buffett tickets to go on sale. As time goes on he plays fewer and fewer shows so the tickets are harder to come by. Buying them on Ticketbastard is always risky. You never know what (if anything) you are going to get. But there is always hope that you will hit the jackpot and your "Best Available" selection will bring you orchestra seats in the first 10 rows. This has NEVER happened to me.

So Virginia got lucky as hell this year. Buffett is not only playing 2 shows (!!!!!!) but they are the "Labor Day Weekend" shows. (see 'Come Monday') They are always AWESOME. So tickets go on sale this Friday..... the cop and I were planning our morning so that one, if not both of us will be able to try to get tickets. I was checking out STUBHUB.COM tonight and got a stunning surprise. There are already tickets on there.... including third row center which are going for over $800.00 each! How the fuck are we, the general ticket buying public, who go to have fun and hear good music, to get a FUCKING chance at decent tickets (or tickets at all)?!?!?!?! I am SOOOOO angry that I don't know how I feel about going. I feel that I'm getting screwed.


So a big FUCK YOU to STUBHUB.COM and to the GREEDY MOTHERFUCKERS that got incredible tickets early and now choose to fuck over those of us who just go to have fun. I know there are some fan clubs that, if you get presale or fan tickets and they are found on EBAY or Stubhub at anything above face value OR on sale BEFORE the sale has actually started.... the tickets are revoked and that person doesn't get tickets from the fan club again. If there is anyone out there who knows someone who knows someone this really needs attention. I am so frustrated that Vegas may have been my last live show.

Sorry to rant..... I will take some WHOOOOO-SAAAAA breaths and write more later on this week.
