About 20 min later I found another site selling tickets to the Sharon, and what did I find ? all the good seats now for sale on that sit at 2 to 3 times the price. Shame on the owners and management of The Sharon. They are scalping their own tickets to up the profit . I will nerver support your theater again and I hope no one will purchase these scalped tickets.
It is the owners of the other site that are the scalpers. This is a common thing that happens to popular events that sell tickets on line. Before the days of the internet, they used to pay people to stand in line at the box office windows to buy the tickets that would later sell for elevated prices.

Please don't think that it is The Sharon doing this.
