Emerald City Supporters doing part to curtail scalping

Supporters group has plans to "mystery shop" to identify people reselling general admission tickets at a significant profit.

Scalping is a practice any fan of live events is well aware of. Even if it's not actually illegal, it is generally seen as an annoyance at the very least. Well, Emerald City Supporters are doing their small part to curtail the practice.

After seeing tickets sold for double -- or more -- than face value in general admission, ECS has announced plans to seek out re-sellers.

If you’re attempting to resell @WeAreECS-sold GA tix on StubHub, we will catch you & you’ll be responsible for tickets going in-person only.
