How is it a fantasy conversation? We're still discussing a situtiation where supply outstrips demand correct? It's not like anyone suggested "oh, they should just schedule a second show, that's what X did at the jubily" then it would be laughable.

But saying "it's 2012 and a handful of other artist have effectly eliminated scalping by using modern technology & paperless tickets" is a valid point. Nobody suggested that 100% of the dissapointed fans left out would have been able to attend the show. We simply suggested the scalping problem could have been addressed.

Suggesting otherwise is laughable.
