If anyone missed out, I've got some tickets. Throw out an offer for a pair for either night.

E-mail me at heywoodhead@yahoo.com, and we'll talk. I'm not naming a price, so just throw out an offer on what you can spend.

Stay classy.

Also - I went to your journal and this:

Wihtout factoring in all the fees I'll need to pay ebay and the money paypal took out and shipping, I made $200 on those Phish tickets.

I'll be waking up bright and early tomorrow.

Soooo...you sold them already?

alive2000 February 1 2009, 18:40:56 UTC

Rent ain't cheap, and I have no job.

It's more legal than selling drugs.

I'll admit what I'm doing may not be all that ethical, but hey, I'm in the same boat when it comes to Jimmy Eat World tickets in Chicago. I want 'em, but unless I'm ready to pay $300+ for a pair, I'm up shit creek without a paddle.

I don't LIKE the fact that I'm doing this, as I actually want to go to the show, but my economic situation dictates that I should not go myself, and I need the money.
I'm not telling you all that I want $2000 for one ticket. I'm telling you to let me know what you can pay.

You stay classy, too, since you know all about me and are of course free to judge me.

And in regard to my post, I was able to get Noblesville tickets on Friday. It was significantly easier than the Alpine Valley tickets on Saturday morning for reasons unknown.

Maybe you should save the money you spend on tickets to scalp to pay your rent?

This is a community for fans of the band, not for scumbag scalpers. Try this at a show, you'll get laughed off of the lot.

alive2000 February 1 2009, 18:59:41 UTC

I am a fan, and have been since 1998 ( ... )

girliebacchanal February 1 2009, 19:19:52 UTC

Fans don't scalp tickets to other fans. You're a poser, plain and simple. If you had any clue what the Phish community was about, you wouldn't be shuffling out your shady tactics and poor me story here. Ebay, Craigslist, whatever. It's still shady, but that's where all the legit scumbag scalpers peddle their wares. But a community of Phish fans? Don't pull this shit here and expect not to get a reality check.

Read a couple of posts back. It's because of scalpers like YOU flooding the system that real fans aren't able to get tickets. And that's a damn shame.

You have to defend yourself because what you're doing is wrong, and you're trying to pull it in a community of people who are on to you, and who are diametrically opposed to this way of taking advantage of fans and their love of the band. GTFO, seriously. I don't feel sorry for you and I doubt anyone else here will.

lol real life sux, eh? Everything should go my way! WAAAAAH D: D: D ( ... )

LMAO @ you being his wife and replying to me. Learn to fight your own battles, kid.

What you're missing, dearie, is that this isn't about capitalism. It's great that you "know...some people ARE stupid enough to think it's worth it to pay for it." Glad to know you think that Phish fans are stupid. As far as "quitting life and following some shitty band all over creation" -- gimme a fucking break. Obviously, you are not a fan, you are a scalper and you are lame.

If you're in this for capitalism and economics, you're a scalper. Thanks for proving my point. Now kindly GTFO and take your bullshit elsewhere. Tell your husband he's a cool guy for being able to respond to me himself.

I didn't ask her to come comment. I know you aren't going ot believe me on that, but you're not going to believe me on much anyway, it seems.

She wouldn't have gone with me if I were going anyway. She hates jam bands. Hell, I don't like most of 'em, but Phish is actually able to keep my interest over a 75 minute rendition of a song without the use of drugs, so I like them.

Meanwhile I'd need a big enough dose of whatever just to end the pain and knock me out, but to each his own. I liked Orgy back in the day so my tastes aren't flawless.

fullcollapse February 1 2009, 20:02:15 UTC

Actually I'm not a scalper. I haven't bought or sold any tickets. Lame, sure. Scalper, no. It takes two people to get married. What one person does is not automatically what the other does ( ... )

I just hold a high ideal when it comes to the Phish community. I think selling inflated tickets perpetuates a culture of commercialism that is anti-everything the Phish community represents. People willing to go on ebay and craigslist and places like that and sell inflated tickets? I don't agree with it, but fine. I happen to believe that fan boards are not boards of capitalism/scalping, or hell, trey/page slash (although that might be awesome) or anything like that -- it isn't a fandom, per se, it's a way of thinking. They are boards of the band and the love for the band and for me, the love of the community. This is anti-community, and I'm serious when I say you would be laughed off the lot if you pulled this IRL. This is not the venue, IMHO, is all I'm saying. I wasn't compassionate to your situation and for that I apologize.

Wow..

alive2000 February 1 2009, 19:45:23 UTC

I'm not looking for your sympathy. Especially because you're coming across as someone who needs to get off your high horse and take a walk in someone else's shoes ( ... )

girliebacchanal February 1 2009, 19:51:01 UTC

ZOMG MACROS WUT SHALL I DO?!?!1!!!

Lol, you're the one who needs the waaambulance, son. You ARE shuffling out your poor me story. And you're a lame-ass bitch for sending in your wifeycakes to fight your battles for you.

I don't wear tie-dye or play hacky sack, I have no relation to any of the stereotypes you mentioned. YOU are the stereotype. With every response you're proving yourself to be lamer and lamer. I'm not attacking your "character", I'm calling it like I see it and attacking your ACTIONS. Grow the fuck up.

fullcollapse February 1 2009, 20:05:48 UTC

I keep forgetting that there still must be women who bow down to their husbands and therefore only act when they are told to do so. Of course he sent me here... where's your husband? Probably not too happy that he's still waiting on that sandwich.

girliebacchanal February 2 2009, 05:58:32 UTC

I don't have a husband, I am a proud spinster although at 31, I have finally acquired a boyfriend I genuinely like and the truth is I do cook for him sometimes. I understand you being passionate on your husband's behalf, but it really wasn't necessary.
