Help me scalp the scalpers

December 3, 2006 7:59 AM

Coast of Utopia, in New York City. Tickets?

So, it was fairly easy to find tickets for parts one and two of the Stoppard trilogy in Lincoln Center, NYC. The third part opens January 30 and there is not a single ticket left. Ticketmaster claims it is sold out. Word of mouth claims scalpers rushed in. In any case, how can one get tickets for the last part? Where is a scalper near me? How does the scalpering system work?

Merdryn, I contacted several of those places. Nobody seems to have tickets. It's weird.

I saw several tickets for the 3rd show on a few of those sites...

Whoops, I saw entries, but not confirmed inventory.

I have a broker I routinely work with for Vegas shows, I'll see if he has any and post back today or tomorrow.

Found several dates at Sells Tickets.

here, here, here, here and here.

The broker I use was on IM, and he only deals in Vegas tickets, so he's out.

Keep looking on those sites, I found several other sites with tickets for Part 3.

I recently started a company that allows you to buy tickets on the secondary market at wholesale prices. It's at www.ticketbrokerdirect.com.
