 If you thought the UFC was making good money off their tickets to UFC 100, wait till you see what the scalpers are charging:Tickets for UFC 100 sold out shortly after being put on sale and the result is a demand that far outstrips supply, a perfect situation for touts. Have I mentioned before that I find scalpers to be the scum of the earth? One day someone with half a brain is going to figure out that assigning non-transferable names to tickets when they're purchased would kill the 'industry' pretty much instantly. But unfortunately instead of fighting scalping, most businesses have gotten into bed with them. Ticketmaster recently got caught selling it's tickets on their own scalping site and the UFC has actually teamed up with scalping site StubHub.  I'm gonna laugh if this bites them in the backside and the arena is only half-filled for UFC 100.  Sad part is, a sap like me might actually pay prices like those for tix since I'd do it especially for someone I care about.  Have you considered becoming a Jackal? [Link]  i would pay that much... if i had money  I have no problem with scalpers. They make sure that the tickets go to the person who wants them them the most (ie is willing to pay the most) rather than simply the first person to click the button. Of course they price many people (like me) out of attending, but if someone is willing to pay 7,000 dollars for a ticket in the nosebleed section, then they should get it.Why do you have a problem with people purchasing something and reselling it at its proper market value?  ryan/jake, you guys should take out a 10k loan and scalp tickets... doesnt seem like a much easier way to make quick cash (legally) while still doing what your doing now... even though you hate it
