Damn good looks.. Furthur's website doesn't mention anything about saturday night being sold out so I didn't believe it at first. Then I went to ticketmaster and tried to pull down a ticket for saturday night and no dice!
Picked myself up a friday night

Personally, I never support a scalper. I'd rather listen from outside which you can always do at red rocks. Another reason it's awesome

I'm not interested in letting somebody profit off of my love for a band or an artist. I support the people who make the show happen and that value is built into the price of the ticket.
I've never sold a ticket for more than what the artist asked for it, and I've never bought a ticket for more than the artist intended. I don't have a whole lot of morals that I really stick to, but that's one of them.
Just my personal philosophy. I've got friends who scalp tickets, and while I don't approve I don't rag on them. It's there choice. I get the whole supply and demand argument, but I'm in it for the love of music and I appreciate the artists and the people who put their time and energy into making the whole thing happen. I don't appreciate someone who sees the whole thing as an opportunity to make a quick buck.
What does a scalper contribute to a show? They only take away from it in my opinion.

I figured the term scalper could refer to those who wound up with extra tickets or had to leave early and figured they would just sell the tickets and scram, not necessarily for a higher price than what they're worth.

Nah, that's just a fan helping another fan out. A scalper is someone who sells a ticket for more than what it was intended to be sold at. At least that's the definition I've always understood. Sorry for the confusion if there was any.

Yeah I think the only time I heard the term scalper before was in an episode of Seinfeld or something where one of the characters can't make it to the show they wanted to go too and so waited outside looking for someone to sell it too they called it scalping, perhaps I have that all wrong in my memory though

yeah lol i heard a kid on the lot trying to sell a one night pass for 200$....from ticketmaster originally they were 45 per night like 80 for a 2 day pass. the scalpers are fucked up sometimes but hey, a ticket is a ticket and if youve been selling molly and doses on the lot all day im sure you dont mind droppin a lil extra cash/stash for some tickets

Craigslist > StubHub for last minute tix. You usually meet some super cool people too!

yeah, craigslist and facebook usually are decent, but if stubhub has tickets that havent been raped pricewise yet its my choice. and if you dont give a fuck about money stubhub is solid as fuck....and if something is messed up with the tix they are AMAZING with customer service.
one time i bought 2 tickets to a 2day pass to a show, stubhub fucked up and our tickets only were good for the first day, after calling them while at the venue and finding out that they couldnt help us because their representative had left the venue and they had no left over tickets themselves to comp us.....they immediately refunded me the money for both of the second day tickets, then proceeded to give me 100$ in credit towards my next tickets.
works out for me....i ended up using that credit for the STS9 tickets at RR on the 6th

Holy fucking shit, the second night blew the first out of the water... I have seen Derek the last five times he's played here in Colorado and it keeps getting danker. It's crazy as fuck to think that he went to the same high school as me. Anyways those two nights made me really realize how much I need to go to this upcoming basslights in Florida.
