I think anything that is being advertised on scalper sites is just them taking pre-orders. They are banking that they are going to be able to score tix and then fulfill those orders, at their outrageously inflated price. I know we live in an industrial capitalist society, but it's just sad to see that kind of activity, especially when it takes away the opportunity for a real fan, who might not have that much money, to see the show. I wish more bands and companies could come up with better ways to get the tickets in the hands of the real fans, and eliminate all these racketeering schemes. It's gotten worse and worse with the internet and the big money. There are ways to fix this. Just need leadership and drive.

Can anyone tell me how there are tickets available at stub hub and other scalper ticket sites when no tickets have been released yet.

I hear you hdrydr about logistics of a full field GA. I went to shows there in 91, 94 and 95, on the field for 91 only. I didn't experience any problems that year, but I can see it being an issue. I have a feeling they are adjusting it somewhat though. No other reason to take down the seating chart. Fourwinds, I hope most mail orders were for GA-- that would increase my chances of getting the high end reserved tix. Again, good luck to all.
