Now check out this site, Fan Freedom, which takes this issue further by accusing Bieber and other artist of scalping their own tickets which has come up with a few other artists as well.
I have mixed feelings on this subject-first off I don't agree with the artists scalping their own tickets, however we live under a free enterprise system-be warned however, fame is fleeting.
Second off I resell tickets, though mainly for the sports market, through team sponsored resell sites. I have season tickets to two local teams and can't attend all games. My only goal is to break even for what I pay for season tickets.
Thirdly sometimes I like to buy tickets on the secondary market. Sometimes I get them cheaper than market value, sometimes I can get a preferred seat, etc. A lot of shows I attend this is not even an issue-I'll take a decent seat or a GA show at say, House of Blues, and be fine.
Now with that being said this is what sucks-if you are buying seats for a big show on the day they go on sale-you never have a shot at the "good seats", forget about front row-these have already been distributed to some other scalper, fan club, or credit card company etc.
