Careful. There are touts/scalpers joining the org

Look out for members you've never heard off, with a history of one or two posts, asking if you have any spare tickets, or if you can get any.

I hope this does not apply to me just because I've just registered with Prince.org and am desperate for a ticket (especially with the soundcheck).I'm prepared to pay over the odds,meet up on the night of the concert and will pay in advance.

No mate, soory if you thought I meant you. I got 3 other notes, quite obviously from Touts. I'm afraid I haven't got a ticket myself yet!

Ok I'm curious, I'm sure the system isn't foolproof, but what are scalpers gonna do with will-call NPGMC tickets that are validated by ID?

The scalpers are not the ones who turn up at the door and get turned away. They are already round the corner pissing themselves at the stupid bastard who paid 300 quid for a prince ticket!

Yeah, maybe I'm giving orgers too much credit I just don't necessarilly see why a scalper would come here looking for presale tickets, since you don't get actually get a ticket prior to showing up with your ID. A scalper could forge something, but the only thing a NPGMC member would have prior to the show to sell to a scalper would be a receipt.
