I agree with this post. As far as i understand it local brokers have accounts with the venues and recieve pre-sale offers in bulk. chances are that they havent been purchased yet by the broker, but they know they will have them eventually so they are able put them online in advance. then "we" are forced to pay much more for the better seats. so either pout and pony up the coin or fight the power and sit in sec 480 row 30. argh. dbags.
