I got tickets but I am amazed you were allowed to get six to such a high demand show. It essentially means there were only 2000 to 3000 people allowed to get tickets. And with 6 you can get two for yourself and four to scalp or at least 4 to sell to your friends. If he had limited it to 2 tickets per person it would have been better. But anyway you look at it with 200,000 people willing to pay $60 per ticket people were going to leave disappointed.
I think one of the issues is that Calgary has never really had a show that was this in demand. Maybe the Stones Arena tour but that is about it. Combine that with Calgary's sense of entitlement and people get mad when they don't get what they want.
What the people complaining about scalpers don't realalize is that scalpers are giving them the opportunity to guarentee that they see the show. If there was no resale permitted 9 out 10 people wanting to see this show would have no way to see it. At least this way a really huge fan can shell out to see it.
My thoughts of making a little money of my extra tickets quickly went by the way side when I told my wife I got 6 tickets and she told me that she had already sold them to her friends.
