<< <i> If you want to stay on topic, my point, laid out as clearly as I could (and if its not clear enough, I can try to dumb it down more for you) - ticket scalping is illegal, season ticket holders who scalp tickets are scum who selfishly contribute to a significant problem, and scalping tickets and posting advice on how to break the law really have nothing to do with Sports Cards and Memorabilia. >>
Is it just me, or do others agree that one our species' most curious perversities is that the stupid people are the last one's to recognize their stupid? Ugly people know their ugly-- fat people know their fat. But dullards rarely recognize the breadth of their own ignorance.
DG, get this-- YOU made the initial proposition, that being 'ticket scalping is wrong', therefore the burden of proof is on YOU. Does that make any sense to you at all? I know you get all hot and jittery at the mention of 'The Law', so perhaps I can further elucidate by pointing out that in a courtroom it's the plaintiff that's made the proposition (namely, that the defendant is either guilty or culpable), so it's the plaintiff's job to prove this. You cannot have an argument unless the burden of proof lies with the party making the initial proposal. And in this case that is YOU.
I can't demonstrate that ticket scalping ISN'T wrong, since it's impossible to prove a negative. Instead, you have to show that it IS wrong.
This was covered in 8th grade, along with other esoteric concepts like dividing fractions and discerning the theme from 'Of Mice And Men'. Remember now?
I appreciate the friendly barb and apologize in advance for the response I'm about to write, but this is a subject (as a season ticket holder actively involved in anti-scalping policy discussions in Boston) that I feel very strongly about and have zero tolerance for.

To DG........
Howdy there, it is grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with a proposition.
"...and about which I have no tolerance." would be more appropriate!!

Last nite I was in a bar and a lady came up to me and ended here sentence with a proposition - she said I'll do anything you want for 100$ if you can describe it in 3 words.
I thought for a second...slammed a C note on the bartop and said: "Paint my house!"

A New Yorker goes on vacation to England. When he gets there he stops a pedestrian and asks "Can you tell me where Big Ben's at?"
The Englishman looks at him and say "I'm sorry sir, but while your in England I must ask that you speak the Queen's English. Please-- do not end your sentences with a preposition."
The New Yorker looks at him and says: "Sorry about that. Do you know where Big Ben's at, A**hole?"

The word is "preposition", and grammatical rule you are referring to is actually nonsense, a myth started in the 17th century by John Dryden, and perpetuated over time by anal-retentive, third-rate English teachers.
As Churchill once said of the rule, "This is the sort of bloody nonsense up with which I will not put."
