I'm going to be careful how I phrase this, but recently I was talking to a member of a largely underground but with a good solid following band. They sell out medium sized venues regularly, and do tickets for their gigs. He worked for a company prior to the band taking off who resold tickets. The resellers had a very good inside line to the original sellers of a lot of these tickets. They may possibly have been mentioned in this thread, I couldn't possibly say as I've got the attention span of a hamster.
His band will not work with anyone connected with the company who were the original sellers above as he knows that the whole thing is a scam having seen it first hand. For all the original sellers 'open' appearance, there are (according the him) ways into the OS website that can be exploited for gain.
His argument is that when his band says they want to pitch a ticket at around X amount, they don't expect X amount to be paid by another company just so that their fans can pay 2X to the reseller. He wants their fans to pay X, not a multiple of X.
