But I think the key difference is that Ticketmaster, et al. aren't promoting this. So no-one is likely to even realize these events are occurring unless they've gone to, or were directed to, louisck.net.
So that leaves, most likely but not by no means certainly, only people who buy scalped tickets who should've known better.
And I can't imagine they'll find any sympathetic ears, or amount to a notable contingent compared to Louis fans who grok the pseudo-honor system play he's making and will be far more angry at the jilted scalped-ticket-buyer for having purchased from scalpers in the first place.
"only people who buy scalped tickets who should've known better"
I'm under the impression that you can still resell tickets, but not for over face value. So people are still going to see tickets for sale on sites other than louisck.net. And those who check his site and see SOLD OUT will probably head out pretty quickly instead of sitting around to read the terms of sale.
A consumer seeing tickets on a third party site, checking Louie's site and seeing "sold out" then search again on third party sites seems very plausible.
Surely some transactions will get through on third party sites before his people can get it taken down. And a no-sympathy approach towards those buyers would be a terrible move.
Absolutely. I agree that honest 'victims' will happen. Outright ticket fraud happens all the time when people deal with scalpers.
I was just trying to explain why I don't think it'll be a notably larger problem than with any other event nor do I see the victims getting even the usual (low) amount of sympathy.
There are simply too many people who agree with Louis' efforts to keep his work as affordable as possible for there to be notable blowback on him.
