You know what this is indeed a sad day not just cos deserving people couldnt get the tickets hey so desired for four years now but its a sad day cos i see human being like you who think that what your doing is perfectly fine.
What makes it worse about all this is that you come into this board and you try to justefy your actions by giving us the story about how you have to feed your kids and pay the mortgage and send your kids to your education. Its really quite sad especialy since you use your kids as the prime excuse to why you do this. Unfortunatly you may not realize but your actions are probably causing your kids more harm then good.
let me explain: and i will explain how your hurting everyone but yourself:
Kids usualy look at their fathers as role models at least i did when i was a kid. I was and still am extreamly proud at what both my father and mother have done to give us the best that we could get. They worked hard all their lives and put us first before they put themselves! They would honestly die for us four kids. What did i learn? i learned to be a hard worker an achiever and I learned that you should do things as to help others and yourself in a legit way. I can safetly agree that my two brothers and my sister have become very succesfull in their fields which happen to be legit. All of them are engeneers and damm good ones at that! and you wanna know why? cos my parents worked hard and tought us wright from wrong and we NEVER stole or got in trouble with the law.
Now going back to you:
take a look at your children and put yourself on their shoes... what do you think they will learn? do you think they will learn to be loyal people who don't hurt anyone? well body all i can say to that is that they will follow in your footsteps and do things that in most peoples eyes are considered wrong. But you wanna know the real sad part is? its not their fault, its your fault. You will condem them to a life of wrong doing cos they will not know any better! So in that case your not providing for your children you are hurting them. You are misleading them in a time when they need a good role model!
Frankly,
500 dollars multipliad by 43 is sure very good money and I KNOW as a fact that your not doing it for your children your doing this for yourself. Your doing this cos its easy money. Its not hard earbned money its dirty money. You know i don't have much money ( i am a student paying my own rent and going to school full time and working more then 20 hours a week) but the money that i do get oh man i am so proud of cos i honestly work hard at it! and the best part i don't hurt noone i am providing MY services to the company i work and they are satisfied. But i never went and screwed anyone nor will i ever to offer my services.
Okey so who are you hurting?
well we already know your hurting your children big time!
Your hurting the poor fans who have been waiting for four years to see a show and some didn't even get to see the elevation and some this could have been their first time seeing U2. It could be a life long dream to see them for some but unfortunatly your crushing their dreams and your making it very hard for those people who are dying to see U2. You think everyone has 500 dollars to spare just like that? I love U2 but i can't afford 500 dollars. So there you go your so called services are really useless for me and a very good percentage of other fans.
Your hurting the people you say you offer services to. How can you honestly say your offering a good service to these people when your charging them like 400%???? yes you got a point bussinesses do charge for their services but you must agree that bussinesses usualy don't charge 400% on their service. I work in a retail right now to help pay for my college and i know what the markup values are for most of the items in my department and let me tell you at most maybe we charge 50% higher then cost at the very most! SO i seriusly don't know where you can justefy a 400% or more because your providing a service. You want to be a real bussiness man and not a crook? then if your tickets are 50 dollars a pop then fine charge 20 dollars and sell them for 70 dollars! don't go selling them for 500 dollars. Trust me your time is not that valuable because your providing a dishonourable service.
okey so what am i getting at? you say this is all legit but look atthe people your hurting! Look at me your hurting me!
I am a student that pays rent lives from paycheck to paycheck heck most of the time i have craft dinner cos i can't afford anything else! and now i go and dish out 40 buck cos i love u2 so much ide be willing to spend that much needed money. Then people like you come and buy all the tickets and finaly when i try to make use of my much needed 40 bucks i realize that i can't buy tickets cos you came before me and bought all of them. How does that make me feel? now i spent 40 dollars of money i could have used to buy some nice meals (infact thats 2 weeks of groceries for me!) and now i get nothing. And you? you buy all the tickets one of which could have been mine and you make a crap load of money that you don't even know what to do with it. Meanwhile my 40 dollars is gone and no u2 ticket for me. How do you call that a legit business? and i am just one case! i am sure there are thousands of people in my shoes that got screwed like that cos of people like you!
Shame on you! You come in here trying to be the hero that has all the answers to the u2 problems by offering your services but you fail to look at the poor fans who cant buy tickets now, at the poor people who you milk 500 dollars out of and at your children. Your truly a disgrace a big shame
Yes your all happy cos you got your money but you left us with nothing! and worst of all you can sleep at night just fine. you said it yourself.
You know what i am too upset i am ending it here your not worth my time! Hope you get jail time for riping us off and all the other people.
And you call yourself a nice and decent man!
Please do me a favor get over yourself!
thats all i have to say!

Nice one Indra! Although it would have made things even more interesting if the ensuing exchange had involved somebody that could present a more coherent argument than dagreatestu2fanever (dang, I wish I'd chosen that).
