WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
I can usually see deleted posts, but nothing here.
It would seem Mike has found a "super delete" button. Perhaps otherwise only found on highly equipped microwave ovens utilized by former presidents of the USA.

I can usually see deleted posts, but noting here.
You probably used to be able to see deleted posts but with that goofy avatar you're doomed.

So Chris Hadfield and the Symphony sold out all their three shows, tonight, and two tomorrow. Not too bad, 4,200 to see an amateur play with them..

And a 1000+ tickets already available for resale on Stubhub alone. You can't go by how long tickets take to sell out as a measure of real demand anymore. It is all computer and formula driven to maximize profit for the promoters and their agents.

It's also regular ol' people becoming scalpers too, it's simply not just bots etc.

Seems like a lot of work and risk to make a few bucks. Now having said that, I am sure that there are people who plan to attend the concert but have listed them on Stubhub and will sell their tickets if they can double their investment.

I think it was a lot of work when you had to stand outside the arena and hawk them. And risk it not being a sell-out, so you might not even get rid of your extras. But hey, you buy 8 on Ticketmaster, and only 4 of your friends step up, you know you can at least break even putting the extra 4 on Stubhub. So why not buy your max 8 at the start, less risk.

^ Yeah that is one thing that gets me. Standing in front of a venue and selling the tickets higher than face value is scalping and you can get fined for it. Standing in front of a venue and selling the tickts via Stubhub or TM higher than face is perfectly legal!
