- Hey,
- So sorry to get everyone riled up over my last post. I think a
- lot of the sarcasm was misunderstood but I am to blame for that.
- Firstly, I'll apologize to all I offended but I also want to add my
- own justification.
-
- Being a native a the rotten apple I have seen many things
- take place. To say that scalpers are only hoodlums and junkies is
- not to say the entire truth. Sure, it may be the majority but at
- most of the shows I've been too (Phish, GD, BT, SD, BB, TMBG, etc.)
- there have always been scalpers who stand on line with their own tickets
- AND extras only willing to sell their extra to the highest bidder.
- I suspect this will happen at Roseland as it has happened at ANY show
- I have ever been to in the city. Some people are out to make a buck and
- I in no way meant to say that these people were netters. My point was that
- if any netter was planning in partaking of these activities they should be
- blasted because it is uncool. It just didn't end up sounding that way. :^(
- Of course, everyone is free to be, I was just voicing my opinion as John and
- Shelly voiced theirs.
-
- So my point is, if you were thinking of scalping, don't do it!
- This is not to say that every netter is a scalper but you can't say that
- every netter is NOT a scalper! The world is real and things are ugly sometimes.
- I wasn't trying to yell or abuse anyone, it's not in me to do that. I am
- sorry everyone is up in arms about it but at the same time my post, (IMHO),
- was simply misunderstood. Didn't mean to put glass in your wheaties Shelly.
- This is not a flame either. I said I am sorry and I am moving on. No need
- to send me more hate mail or whatever, the blows have been dealt!
-
- With that all said and done, I go. My message remains the same, if you have
- extras and can part with them, please do so over the net rather than at a
- show. If I have to see one more twenty year old at a show on line waving
- an extra and yelling, "One for seventy five" I think I might...
-
- dre. :^)
-
- BTW, there is nothing wrong with the Beasties and I never
- said they were Phish. If you were insinuating that only
- scalpers show up at *those* types of shows your wrong.
- Buddy, that is bordering on Racism and THAT offends ME
- in A BIG WAY! But let's just call it even...
