[quote:a502394b3b]Most musicians concede there’s little to stop scalpers. “Scalping has been around forever,” says Jimmy Buffett. Front-row tickets to Buffett’s show Sept. 4 at Chicago’s Wrigley Field are being offered by online scalpers for $1,560.
“I don’t have any answer to it,” Buffett says. “I’m doing less dates, and there are fewer tickets, and that’s the problem. It’s the law of supply and demand. If people didn’t want to sit there, it wouldn’t be happening.” [/quote:a502394b3b]
