Yup...when tickets for 8 Blackhawk playoff games went on sale last week, they were gone in a couple of minutes...and ticket brokers from all over the U.S., not just the Chicago area, were offering them for sale at 10 to 100 times face value later in the day. The system truly sucks.

Yeah man, in this case I really miss the old days when if you were willing to get there early in the morning, and even camp out if necessary, to get a spot in the front of the line, you were getting a ticket. And in most cases a good seat, too.

Ticketmaster's online ticketing process has totally ruined going to shows for me. I hope they die a slow, painful death.

Amen!!! If it requires purchasing tickets thru those skumbags I just don't go and have been that way for years. Started with me when the Astros sold their soul to them - never been to a game since.

They are dying a long, painless death as multi-zillionaires.
