No, James. Nobody got a ticket. Except for the scalpers.
I don't blame James, but his business naivete got the best of him here.
I don't care how difficult will call is for a venue the size of MSG, it needed to be done for this show clearly. With this show having the demand that it apparently has, MSG can hire some extra people to run will call more efficiently. This was a how-to in how to fuck up what should've been a celebratory event.
whatever just happened, its extremely unlikely that 20K (or so) unique fans just bought tickets.
i hope someone is looking into this, because if it was scalpers, then they just won.
Or they can just change it to were you have to swipe the card you purchased them with at the gate. Then the 100 scalpers can all enjoy there 30k apiece of tickets together.
This is fucked up. Can anyone in the know explain how this could happen? I understand that ticketmaster and StubHub are evil, I would just like to understand what happened a bit better.

I would love that.
or hell, even a ticketmaster / livenation card like you have for the grocery store. you buy a ticket, you need that card to use that ticket.
kills the secondary market in a hot second. sucks if you are in a bind though...
Jesus, guys. I'm so sorry this sh!t has happened. I couldn't make it, but I know you guys were so looking forward to it. I hope this crap gets shut down and they start all over.

Yeah, and then if a friend wants to sell you or gift a ticket, you just would have to call in and give both card numbers for transfer. But then again, that could be just as muddy.
