>>103151005 (OP)>Save them... well meaning brats organized a group buy for the HoloEN concert but turns out there aren't actually enough HoloEN fans to sell out the venue so now they're left with dozens of tickets they can't find buyers for, even with big discounts. Is there any way we can help them as a community? This might hurt future HoloEN concerts...the core of your assumption is wrong. you're assuming there aren't enough EN fans to sell out a concert. Not true. When you scalp tickets, sell tickets 3rd party, you cut down your viable sales base drastically. only a very small percentage of people are willing to buy tickets from a scalper.
The reality is these people bought too many tickets, and no one knows where to buy them. I want to go, i waited online like everyone else. I was planning a vacation to see manhatton to coincide with this concert. But the concert sold out in seconds... even with chase prefered (yes i have a chase credit card). So i simply stopped paying attention. i too heard about the brat's scooping up the tickets "to protect them from scalpers" and their plans to pioritize their own discord. Well I'm not part of their discord. nor am I a brat. so i just memoryholed it and bought the online streaming tickets.
Would i have liked to go to NYC? sure. but that concert is in 20 days. I'm not going to get plane tickets, hotel reservations, time off of work, AND hunt down some scummy asshats who scooped up the tickets to pay in some shady ass 2nd hand method. I mean how do i pay them? cash? fuck that noise. and i'm not giving them a cc number.
And to top it all off I bought the streaming tickets. so fuck them. they took that chance away from me, they can sit on those fucking tickets and suck it.
~tldr: this isn't because there aren't enough EN fans, this is because no one wants to buy those tickets from a shady group of nobodies last minute. fuck that noise.
