the thing that keeps people from being able to get tickets when they go on sale is jackasses who buy blocks of tickets without any intention of going to the show... scalping a ticket is a dick move, no matter how you rationalize it...

if you wanna go to a concert then have the damn foresight to buy the ticket when they are released instead of the last second

Yeah, because you always hear about concerts months in advance and know exactly when tickets are going to be available.

Except in many cases it's impossible to get them during the onsale period because ticketmaster/livenation sucks, and scalping bots wind up scoring most of them.

i'm generally in the habit of buying an extra to just about every show i go to, & giving it away on the street in front of the venue... i guaranfuckintee i have a better experience watching the joy on a strangers face when they get miracled than any cock-drip scalper does with their extra forty fucking bucks... scalpers are not as bad as gatecrashers, but they are fucking close...
i guess you never had the opportunity to show up at a Dead show with 50 bucks, knowing that there were 25 dollar tickets at the box office, to find that some ghetto scalper who gives zero fucks about Jerry Garcia or you or anything other than making a quick buck has swooped in and scooped all the tickets & is now charging a hundred bucks... if you had you'd understand why yr "scalp or be scalped" attitude makes me want to murder kittens...
money is a horrible master to serve...

I was just sayin if it isn't this guy scalping it's just going to be someone else 
I hate scalpers as much as anyone, but it just comes with the territory. Where there is money to be made you are going to have money hungry people fighting for an extra dime.
If there is a particular artist you would like to see live, then you need to take the responsibility to check their website often so that you know when they are coming to town. You can even add artists to a favorite list on ticketmaster and they will notify you when tickets are going on sell for that specific artist.
I know this may seem impractical to some, but it's what you have to do if you really want to see a show and not get screwed over.

I've never had a problem getting tickets when knowing the date.
Obviously they can't be that good of fans if they don't even hear about it til a couple days before the show.

I've bought tickets on multiple occasions when they go on sale and never ran into this problem. You generally have to type in a captcha (if not more than one) and depending on the show there may be a limit to how many tickets you can buy.
Yes, scalpers are buying tickets when they go on sale, and generally buy as many as they can. This alone doesn't prevent an actual fan from doing the same damn thing.

When I used to buy vinyl a lot, if there was a particular release coming out that was limited, I'd pick up an extra copy & wait a few months before selling it at double what I paid. Same basic idea as scalping. That way I'd get my copy for free & someone who was sleeping on the original release would have a chance to get the record. Win win.
