You wouldn't be throwing in stickers if you weren't intending to scalp. A lot of good people can't get tickets this year because scalpers bought so many tickets.

Also, the real price paid by season ticket holders is less than the face value, so it's more than $5 you are getting.

yup, I had $10 worth of flames stickers, the ticket face value was $65, winning bid was $80. BFD..
yeah, and you were only hoping for $5 extra on the tickets too, right?

Add me to the list of people who have zero sympathy for scalpers.

scalping is only illegal in alberta manitoba and ontario. anywhere else in our wonderful country there is no law against it. So what if the guy sells 1 ticket over face value. you all act like you are the queen of england.

Why are you calling everyone ######s and a-holes? No one is calling you names, or making any over-arching statements that you are a bad person, or anything of the like. Just pointing out that you are not exactly following the rules/laws of ebay/Alberta, but you expect the other guy to be held to them. You seem like a good guy, and generous and all that, no one is saying otherwise. Do what you think is right with your extra tickets, just don't expect everyone to be sympathetic when a deal to scalp tickets goes bad.
