Today's Featured Front page article in USA TODAY:

Scalpers, Fan Clubs, promoters snap up seats leaving fewer to sell. Your chances of getting a great seat after a concert goes on sale are almost non existent.....

I actually picked up USA Today this morning just for this article. There's one guy they talked to who makes around $100,000 a year scalping tickets. It's no wonder it's become to enticing to do whatever it takes to get good seats and resell them.

But the overall gist of the article was that the real fans are the ones getting squeezed out of the shows

i dont find a problem getting tickets here in the uk - got tickets to all oasis gigs and U2 gigs and resold a lot of them making myself a very nice amout of money - you just gotta be in there the very second they go on sale, and when they sell out get them re sold straight away when everyone is looking for them

Then that makes you a scalper?! You buying eight with a mind to re-sell six is making it harder for someone else to get them..

Thus if everyone does the same it makes it nearly impossible to get hold of a decent ticket. You were trying to make a point but really just confirmed the headline.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
