Kindness is one thing that the secondary market cannot account for. In light of the conversations yesterday about the ethics of scalping a ticket just because someone can or will pay it, I figured I'd throw out the yin to that yang. Give them away.

I've been fortunate enough to have extras to some of the more difficult tickets historically to come by. I've always chosen to walk up to a desperate fanner as I am walking in and just give it them for free. The look of desperation turning into pure joy is worth way more than putting a few bucks in my pocket. And I am by no means a high roller. I struggle each month to pay the bills and the extra money would come in handy, especially back in my even more broke days, but its still so worth it.

Best way to correct the market is by loving one another

Well said, sir. I have done the same on several occasions; it feels a lot better giving a miracle than receiving one. I have received miracles, paid face for tough shows, and even paid more than face (like Halloween last year), but I have never sold any ticket for above face. I just can't do it; it goes against my morals. I don't know how people sleep at night when they do that kind of shit!
