I got tickets for TOOL in Tulsa, Floor Seat, SEC A, Row S, for face value, and some online broker is selling the same tickets for 250 each, that's fucking stupid. TOOL get only a percentage of what the face value sold. They get nothing from online broker sales. That all profit to them.
I was online the second they went on sale and still had to wait in an online waiting room. That was when the broker was sucking up tickets. When i got on, the best available was row 17.
I say give the fans a chance to buy good seats at face value. I don't want to pay 350 for front row seat to any show if i could have gotten them cheaper if it were fair.

Right on man! My buddy and I got on right when they went on sale as well and he pulled up a ticket in sec A I can not remember the row but it wasnt by any means close to front row. I pulled up sec D Row A seat 1 so I took it. Oh what was up with not knowing the sec. when we bought the tickets it just said "floor"? When I pulled up Sec Floor Row A Seat 1 I just about shit my pants thinking I got front row seats haha. Then later to find out i'm in D which I'm fine with, however, your right the brokers have the inside track...bullshit
