MoMack Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Sorry guys, I put them on craigslist and am getting offers that are far too good to refuse.

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 dudes gotta do what a dudes gotta do. I've been there b4 and have no regrets. I've sold enough tix at cost that I could have scalped, that when I've had to scalp tix i've done so. I'm guessing that Sean has done the same. The fact that he even initially offered them up here speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 My feelings - you are either morally against the resale of tickets for higher than face or you are not. I am not. You can't be against something most of the time. If I want to go to a sold out show and that is my only avenue, so be it. On the other hand, if someone offers me loads of cash for tickets I can't use, fantastic.That's the way things work in a free society. This is not an illegal practice.

AD Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 This is not an illegal practice. it is though. isn't it? i trust though that if sean needs to sell them to make rent then that's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah its illegal, so is the weed that you'll all smoke at the show.I made the offer to anyone who wanted them, and waited an hour and made a bunch of phone calls. No one was taking right away so I decided to try CL.The tix were sold to a couple who are flying in from Cali and already had non refundable plane tix and were thrilled to just get these tix, and had no problem ponying up the cash. Also I set them at best offer, and they made the offer gladly. Not sure why I feel the need to justify, but there you go.Free market capitalism at its best. I've been on the other end and never regretted it for a second, and this time I did what I NEEDED to do.Thanks to those who understand. I've been out of work for months and have been through a tonne of really shitty shit and don't need the "wrath" no matter how it comes........If I change my mind and or the sale doesn't go through- the tix are for Cully.:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 See, what I am saying, is that Sean shouldn't have to justify it al all. Rent issues, money issues, whatever. I'm sure those that are passing judgement are saints, never downloading pirated movies/music/software etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 But, if we can't judge others, how do we know that we're better than them?I'm so confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Anyone care to explain why TicketsNow (a ticketmaster company) is exempt from any scalping laws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Probably the same reason that Ticketbastard is exempt from monopoly laws. Though I don't know the reason I suspect it has something to do with money and lobbyists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 A couple of thoughts from someone who was at the gig;I was able to attend again tonight, thanks to Don! It is reallyamazing seeing this kind of music in a room of 150 people. It wasanother sweet night at the Sweetwater in lovely downtown Larkspur. Theweather down there, so fine! It is always nice to have Mt. Tamalpaisas a back drop and this rehearsal was like spending a night at yourbest friend's basement in High School, only this band could reallyplay! The "Don't Let Me Down," Beatles cover and the "So Many Roads"into "Franklin's Tower," were out of this world...Jay says Jackie had the capo on the third fret during "So Many Roads,"and boy did he sing the heck out of it. There was that "moment" wheneveryone in the room knows something special is happening and we areall experiencing it, and it was tremendous! Sometimes music touches usin places that is simply incomparable to anything else. To follow the"So Many Roads," with "Franklin's Tower," was incredible. If you getconfused listen to the music play!
