Has anyone here ever used pre-buy priviledges from radio station 'fan clubs' to buy tickets to a concert with the intent of reselling for a profit?

I've actually never bought from a pre-sale even. I assume you'd have access to the best seats in the house, right? Seems like you could probably make a little profit pretty easily.

join the band's fan club actually. but the scalpers are great customers of the ticket agents and probably get frequent flyer privledges we could only - zeitgeist Sep 16, 14:18 1
- btw, I only buy tickets to resell when its a concert I want to go to anyway, I'll buy more than I need, resell to break even, or end up being a great - zeitgeist Sep 16, 14:20
Belonging to the group's fan club can sometimes getyou great seats. I have 2nd row for Trans Siberian Orch. in January. - TWuG Sep 16, 14:09 5

        I had mentioned it here, guess you missed it. :) -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 14:22
it's the opposite, usually. You get pretty crappy seats. - Reagen Sep 16, 14:03 1
- Interesting. -- nm - Subversive Sep 16, 14:05
The part about best seats is sort of incorrect. - MDH Sep 16, 14:02
Ticket resale for profit has fallen off the planet around here. Its the easiest way to lose money I can think of. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 14:02 3
- Coldplay in DC this summer is a perfect example - MDH Sep 16, 14:04 1
  - I've had friends and family take a bath on everything from Red Sox playoff tickets to Pats games to U2 concerts and on down the line. - TFox Sep 16, 14:05
