The Sharon ticket scam
 

LOL. You are kidding right? Frankly if I had a choice I'd prefer OUR residents scalping than outsiders [emoji3] but even if that were the case (and somehow I wouldn't expect that) if all the residents purchases were limited to 4 tickets for the first 48 hours it would keep it to a minimum and greatly slow down the "3 minute sellout.".

It was a bit tongue in cheek. But I have no doubt that out of 100K+ residents there wouldn't be a few enterprising souls in the bunch.

Let’s see 100 tickets @ $45 each $4,500. Plus points on your card. Sell at $400 each only need to sell 11 to break even. Hope who ever is selling them from$400 to $500 gets stuck with them. Can’t think of any venue worth that much money

Perfect and simple. Require the customer's name on the ticket and Village ID card are the same, then after some time release them to the public.

Agreed. It happens because the scalpers know that they will sell the tickets.

Simple solution
 

Hi all,
The solution is very simple, it just requires a bit of self disapline and just requires that none of us buy tickets at more than the asking price - the scammers would soon get fed up of having a load of tickets on their hands that they cannot sell and/or make a profit on!!!!!

Management
 

I would have to question the management of The Sharon if they are only selling tickets to the Jersey Boys for 100.00 and someone is selling them for 300.00 by simply buying them from them. Why would they lose 200.00 per ticket in sales? Obviously this is not a "we don't want to charge residents so much" as they lose that argument immediately when they sell them to non residents to re-sell at a much higher rate.

that only works if you are including ALL buyers and not just residents. It would be very interesting to see who the buyers were for the really good tickets. I bet they are not residents and are from Orlando, Ocala, many other locales in Florida.
