Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! (banging head against monitor).
You're not following me.
The only "bitching" I've done is due to the fact that I couldn't land any of
the "up-close" tickets, because the Brokers presumably snagged them all
prior to the pre-sale, or normal sale.
I did not snooze on trying to get the "up-close" tickets.
I *did* decide to pass on the mid and rear section seats that were available
(the *ONLY* thing available)...BUT, I'm *NOT* bitching about that.  *That*
part was my choice.  Not being able to purchase up-close tix despite being
there at the start of the sale, was *not* my choice.

Ya know, it just strikes me.....isn't this an example of the classic "Bait
and hook" advertisement that is illegal in this country?
Advertise a product at a reasonable price, and then not have the product
available for purchase, thus rendering consumer with only options of
purchasing a lessor product?
What's yo answer to *that* !??

Hey, I can play the game with the best of 'em.

I wouldn't feel right about taking a profit for nothing, particularly from
fellow Who fans.  My "collective conscience" at play here.
And, I think Alan knows I'm true to my word on this subject.  Now, whether
he agrees with me is another matter.

Perhaps.  Wish we knew what those contracts were like (if they even exist).

Just making the observation that the legalization of pot is far more likely
to be a Dem. cause, than a Repub.
In other words, I see your point.
