Luckily, not all states allow you to re-sell tickets for above face value. To those let me say, I'll be browsing eBay every day. If I find anyone in violation, I'm reporting them to eBay immediately.

Hopefully, in the next day or so eBay will remove these auctions from their site so that these jerks who are trying to sell the tickets won't be able to make such an obscene profit on what is supposed to be an event for diehard fans.

I just saw the post from the man speculating that most of the tickets for Plano were bought online, by scalpers.

If it's true, it not only distresses me for the obvious reasons, but because based on the ticketing sites' policies, people who buy these kinds of scalped tickets on eBay will NOT actually be able to use them when they get to the theatre on the 16th. You *must* have the credit card the tickets were purchased with, and a name won't suffice.

That would be the worst insult yet -- to buy a ticket for some astronomical price on eBay and then get to the theatre and find you were scammed.
