hello everyone.
Live 8 is having a concert here near Toronto Canada.
the following, makes me sick.

yeah...i was the one who called this television station, to blow the whistle on Craigslist.org...
little has been done to stop it.
craigslist.org , is still allowing posts, for people to sell tickets....free tickets, for upwards of $500 CAN each.
my question...in any of the other cities holding a Live 8 concert, has anyone here seen the same greedy bullshit trend ?

vvvvvventuuurrrre caaaaapitalism.
scalpers are souless whether it's for Live 8 or U2, but i guess that what happens when HUNDREDS of people give you hateful looks when you're standing there like a schmuck trying to con another schmuck.

except maybe you'd be the rich schmuck, but... OMG PINK FLOYD.

Dan Aykroyd

HA!

Bob should go round and bitch slap those mother fuckers

ive contacted city tv...house of blues canada ( promoter ) and Live 8 .
ive chastized Craig ( owner of craigslist ), but to no avail.
go figure...Sir Bob calls ebay...tells them to ban sales, and they listen.
shame the other sites ( craigslist.org ... adpost.com ) wont follow suit.

greed...an ugly trait.
rick...karl...your thoughts ?

Here's my suggestion then - don't ever sell anything that was given to you. Your premise is that people are making too much money on the sales of these tickets, or that they shouldn't be selling them at all. But what is too much? $5? $500? I've always felt that it was an obvious right to make money by capitalizing on demand, even if the item in demand was originally given away for free. A sucker is born every minute but without a lollipop to chase, they're just another face in the crowd...

I think Geldof's a fucking idiot personally - he gives away free tickets (which of course all get gobbled up) and then tells people not to make money on the sales of those tickets. And meanwhile, since he's not selling tickets, he's not making money either, he's just preaching about a cause. Yeah right you fucking dickhead, I'm sure that African children are pleased to know that you have the opportunity to make enough money to make Bill Gates blush and you could send it to them, but instead... all you want to do is preach away instead of also sending money. Face reality Bob, Money talks -- not words alone. God damn, what a waste of opportunity!!

Me personally, I would castrate myself to see the original line-up of Pink Floyd. And if a $500 ticket comes my way... I very well might spend the money.

P.S. - Scalpers are smart, if they know that there's an idiot that's willing to pay what they ask.

if i won some tickets i'd go and watch the gig, but...

if i won two lots of tickets - i'd sell em for a big fuck off profit...

i bet the bands playing won't be donating their hard earned record sales for the next ten years to stop world povety....
