Stupid scalpers. More has to be done to stop those idiots.
What’d you expect from an outfit called “Wiseguy”. I’m surprised those loons didn’t called themselves “Scalpers, Inc.”
“Scalpers, Inc.” Beautiful.
I knew Snooki and the Situation were up to no good.
Good, I hate it when these basterds take all the tickets.
The secondary ticket market is a great way to purchase tickets to sold out events, and premium hard to find tickets. Ticket brokers are not responsible for “buying up all the tickets,” and in fact, during the last Springsteen show in Jersey, it was Springteen’s promoters who allocated a majority of tickets to people other than fans who wanted to go to the show. A company like “wiseguy tickets” gives legitimate ticket brokers a bad name, and continue to promote the “scalper” image.
