Scalpers go High Tech

« Upper West Side | MP3s | Tuesday Night's TO-DOs »

"For hot tours like Springsteen, U2 and Nine Inch Nails -- and, soon, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones -- professional ticket brokers use a combination of manpower and technology to swoop in and commandeer hundreds of seats at a time. As of Monday afternoon, April 11th, ticketsnow.com was selling 292 seats to Springsteen's New Jersey show -- almost nine percent of the 3,300 seats that went on sale to the public -- with some going for as much as $2,565 apiece."

Brokers make it harder than ever to see top acts

Yeah, I think this new move by brokers is particularly insepid. I mean, tickets for NIN are going for almost $300 a piece here in the city!?!?! How is it that I'm catching a break getting tix on Ebay for $175?
