eBay bought StubHub for $310 million dollars

Stubhub

Stubhub founder says, "I would argue that the true fans are the ones who are willing to pay the most for the tickets."

How do you guys all feel about this issue of ticket scalping anyhow?

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I have no problem at all with Stubhub. It's basic supply & demand economics at its best. All they've done is provide the outlet for people to trade, kind of like eBay.

I go to a lot of events on short notice, or just one game out of a season ticket, and it's a whole lot easier to buy a ticket in advance on Stubhub than to find someone selling extra tickets at the door.

Maybe it's just because I live in California, but most on-site scalping at games seems to be done by a bunch of black guys, with the head guy being the fattest and wearing the loudest yellow shirt. (I have nothing at all against black people, it's just the most reliable way to find tickets at a baseball game in Cali.)

I honestly don't know if I've paid more using Stubhub than I would have in the parking lot, but I do know I've had a much better selection of seats to choose from and I can use my credit card instead of walking around with a pocket full of cash.
