I was on at 9:58, clicking refresh, waiting for the tickets to go on sale.

Within 20 seconds, I got a "Sold Out" screen.

Good luck with the brokers, kids.

Why don't venues just put tickets straight on eBay themselves, half on buy it now, half on ten day auction?

Don't give them any ideas!
Why is he playing such small places anyway...obviously the demand is still there?

Of course the demand is still there! The demand will always be there until the day he retires.

Because the demand is high when the supply is low--in this case, a 800-seat former theater.

Remember last year? All the usual suspects confidently asserting that no tour promoter would ever touch him again, no record company would ever give him a deal and insisting that his fanbase had deserted him....? How clever do you feel now? Just wondering.

Wish I would have tried to purchase some so I could flip 'em. LOL. But I thought once upon a time scalping was illegal.

Time and time again we've seen situations like this. Once upon a time he played general admission venues... why has this stopped? Certainly he's not in cahoots with ticketmaster/resellers. Why should this happen? What happened to the days of a good spot breaking your feet and ass and not the bank?

Because Morrissey playing General Admission would be chaos. Everyone would be cramming for the stage.

They'll be panic on the streets of D.C. because he's playing a GA show there.

Idiotic. Scalpers are scum. Selling tickets in this fashion is just stupid. When will they enter the 21st Century by selling will call-only tickets that require a matching ID upon entry?

He played general admission when he did the two shows at Terminal Five. He does many GA shows--just not exclusively.

This is the only way to avoid the scalpers. The lines are a bitch though. They did this at the Modest Mouse Glasshouse show and it was imperative to show up three hours early just to get through will call.

I saw him in a GA show in 2012 (Portland, ME).

I'm seeing him in a GA pit this year (Atlantic City, NJ).

Not every show is GA but it's not something he completely avoids.

Santa Ana, CA - small venue & GA.
El Paso, TX - seated but have front row.
Albuquerque, NM - small venue & GA.
Washington, DC - small venue & GA (Lincoln)

Hoping for Dallas.
