After seeing how many tickets are being auctioned off on e-Bay, I'm pretty disappointed with the scalpers. Even though U2 is not coming to Detroit anytime soon, I still decided to write a letter with a plan to stop these scalpers from scalping:
Although I know tickets are not going on sale anytime soon for Detroit, I've heard several complaints about people purchasing GA tickets for $50 and auctioning/selling them on eBay for $400 each, which is as good as scalping. It concerns me that this may happen for future shows, and I'm asking U2/Ticketmaster to implement a plan possibly printing the buyer's name on the ticket when they purchase it, and IDing people at the entrance of the venues to prevent more people buying tickets from Ticketmaster to sell them at outrageous prices on eBay.
