I decided to do a little research through craigslist and ticket broker websites to see how many GA tickets were on sale through their sites...several of the websites were identical looking so they are either the same company or somehow related. All of the websites had 58 tickets listed as available for GA. That's potentially 7 different brokers (assuming the identical sites are not related) selling 58 GA tickets each=406 tickets. That does not include the 130 tickets available on stub hub or tickets that may already have been sold on these sites. Also does not include individual scalpers and e-bay. plus I am sure there are other websites as well. Did they set aside tickets for each ticket broker?
I did not look at camping at all because I had no intention of camping in the first place. Feel bad for those of you who can't go now because you lost out on camping.

many of those brokers sites draw from the same pool of passes. same passes for sale on multiple sites.

i have looked into buying through those before for other shows and many had the same seats and rows for sale on several different sites.

still a small amount available via the secondary market compared to how many were sold. scalpers did not buy up all the tickets as so many seem apt to believe.
