Ticketmaster even encourages this because they make a commission on each reseller / scalper ticket sold. Taylor Swift tickets were selling for $25k or something like that recently because of this.
We finally got our Metalica tickets though - 4 seats in the stands, fairly close to the stage, but no snake pit. We'll use the money we saved to limo it to the Oympic Stadium for the show, then to downtown to a metal bar to round off the night... can't wait!
