> scalpers might sign up for artist clubs? Yes, which is why selling tickets for more than face value can get you kicked out of the club.

  Let's just say that scalpers still manage to represent a significant portion of artist clubs.

    I don't think we can "let's just say" without some evidence that this is the case.

      Right. I wouldn't say that without looking at some evidence (actually quite a bit).

> scalpers might sign up for artist clubs? Sure, but there are probably limits on the number of tickets a member can buy, and club membership isn't free, so that would cut into scalping profits (ok, I guess it's only $20/yr). > Also Pearl Jam uses Ticketmaster Sure, but the band probably gets an allocation of tickets specifically for their fan club, so they don't have to fight with non-member fans to get tickets at regular prices.
