That is the most depressing thing I’ve read all day. Is that what it’s come to? ( I wrote my masters thesis by interviewing fans who slept in line to buy tickets for bands). So sad.
Our ‘buddy’ nohannnohann is back again. Time to destroy his listings.

I am just wondering why we are doing PB work for them bu chasing down the scalpers? Planet Bluegrass researched and chose this new system. It seems like making sure scalpers could not get the tickets would be a top priority. It is very discouraging to see all these scalper posts…and how blatant they are.
This was an issue even with the old lottery system.
True…but seems elevated this year.
Here’s somemore. Not sure how to flag them, sent feedback to the site that they were scum sucking animals.

I was linked to the stubhub ticket page from this site offering ticket packages: https://www.musicfestivalwizard.com/festivals/telluride-bluegrass-festival-2020/
Not sure what, or if anything can be done other than let the powers that be, and those more savvy than me know.
I just saw Town Park tickets on Vivid Seats for as much as $1803 each. I did notice the price of a general admission four day pass has come down somewhat to just over $350.00 I write because I read with great interest the article posted in the Atlantic that was referenced in this thread. My most recent first hand experience with the resell market was for Billy Strings tickets. If you notice on his website all venues are sold out except for festival experiences. I got lucky and scored tickets from a venue for one show and from a fan while standing beside the entry line at another show. Both times, I saw the $25 ticket posted for resale for $100 and up to $368.00 prior to the show. I want to believe that fans helping fans or friends taking care of friends will win out but the people waving the supply and demand flag have a good business model. If you want to see it at it’s height just try to buy tickets to see the Eagles!
Here’s to fans helping fans and friends taking care of friends…see you in June.
This joker is back again:
