I have not been this LIVID in quite some time.
The Box Office in Hartford ALLOWED and CONDONED scalpers to set up lawn chairs right out in front - AND BUY many many many dozens of tickets - REPEATEDLY!
The MO+HE# #UCK#RS were DISGUSTING - they "hired" bums off the streets and lined them up at EVERY window, in case one, or all opened -
and security did NOTHING.
THEN when they finally did open and started selling tickets - these fucking slimy scum of society aggressively cut in line and pushed the bums out of the way -
and security did NOTHING.
AND THEY SOLD THEM TICKETS.
I was second in line - only to a fu#$%ng disgusting bum - and when they opened I LITERALLY watched that one bum turn into *5* scalpers - and I could not do a damn thing about it if I did not want to chance a knife in the gut.
And they came back again and again and again and again.
There had to be 20 or 25 of them -
and they were SO OBVIOUSLY scalpers.
And each time they came back they pushed people around.
And the box office DID NOTHING but sell them more tickets.
It made me think that somebody in the box office got money under the table somehow.
DISGRACEFUL.
I waited for GA's from 7:30AM until U2 hit the stage and got NOTHING.
So, as disgusted as I was I checked the box office one last time - and when they said, "sorry, we're sold out" I let them fu#$%ng have it -
In a nutshell I told them that I was there the ENTIRE day, and I told them how it was DISGUSTING how they REPEATEDLY sold tickets to scalpers over and over and over and over again - ALL DAY LONG.
My girlfriend was very upset and I was comforting her.
A woman at the box office got my attention and gestured for me to come over.
She slid an envelope under the counter - and asked me something about if I still needed tickets...she told me to take the envelope and just walk away.
She handed me 2 tickets to section 104 *FOR FREE!* These were $162 tickets - probably the best tickets in the house if you did not get GA's and get really close. You can only imagine how I felt after going through everything I had gone through! And we had only missed "City of Blinding Lights"!
The irony is that I only had enough money for GA tickets and they never did come available the whole entire day - I would have had to go with nosebleeds or rear of stage - but I passed them up and held out hopes for GA's - if it weren't for sympathy / charity / "keep your mouth shut" tickets I would have been screwed!
I don't know if this woman felt really bad for us - or if she just wanted me to keep my mouth shut about things?
It's a good thing I got those tickets - I was contemplating going out into the streets and dealing with the very scum that I wished cancer on - had I not gotten tickets!
I thought the whole reason that the band withheld some tickets until the day of the show is to cut down on scalpers -
and now the fu#$%ng scalpers have caught on and waited in line for tickets - day of show, along with real fans.
I'm not one to keep my mouth shut when I feel that I am being wronged - and I probably almost got into numerous fights -
but it SHOULD NOT have been my problem to deal with.
NO, the box office cannot discriminate, and maybe they are forced, by law, to sell tickets to anyone. But these people were SO FU@#$NG OBVIOUSLY SCALPERS - EHEM, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. There MUST be something they can do to NOT have to sell tickets to people that are SO OBVIOUSLY not fans.
AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, I even heard that the scum were out there selling counterfeit tickets for a FU@#$NG fortune! HAVE THEY NO FU@#$NG CONSCIENCE? FU@#$NG GARBAGE PEOPLE - I REALLY DO WISH DEATH ON HORRIBLE SCUMMY PEOPLE.
How long must we sing this song?

It makes me sick. I'm sorry that happened to you, the scalper problem truly needs to be addressed seriously. It's getting out of control. 6 people who were in front of me in Hartford were turned away because their tickets did not scan. Aweful...
