Scalper Convention This Week

(Via BrooklynVegan) Apparently there is a professional ticket scalper convention going on right now where major promoters are rubbing elbows with ticket resellers both large (EBay) and medium (Tickettoolshed.com) and small (Fast Eddie and Crazy Joe).

Ticket Summit is a secondary ticket industry conference and trade show. It will host a consortium of experts and leaders within the ticket community, offering a chance to establish and foster relationships valuable to your business.

This conference is the illegitimate pre-party (the Slamdance of ticket selling if you will) to the real deal which is the National Association of Ticket Brokers conference taking place over this weekend. I hope the legit ticket brokers are taking detailed notes so that during their one real meeting (everything else seems to be golf and cocktails, honestly see the schedule here ), "Ticket Distribution in the 21st Century", they will be able to hammer out some solid ideas about how to deal with insane scalping and stupid high ticket prices.
