Yeah, I assume he keeps getting all the reply notices we all do. Was it online, in person, how does he know he was scammed/tickets fake. I can see in this digital age of paperless tickets of someone not transferring or something. But since the races don’t ever really sell out except maybe A1, there really is no reason to not buy direct.

Wow, I took it all as a bit of tongue in cheek. Are people really offended (ML included) by the scammer jokes? I don't think anyone actually believed this guy was a scammer himself.

I’m needing 4 tickets to Seattle if anyone happens to have any. Just got completely scammed. It’s never happened to me before but this worthless POS got me. Pretty devastating. 
So If anyone ends up not being able to go I would certainly take them off your hands. There’s no way I could tell my little guy we’re not going now to his first SX, it’s all he’s been talking about for months. 

Id rather not buy the cheap seats as someone just told me last year there were employees standing at the entrances of all the bays, Checking your tickets, making sure you sit where you’re suppose to.
We’d be forced to watch the race from the moon, way up at the top ugh 

Please shoot me an email if so, Thank you

How was he scammed?  Comes on here to say he got scammed then gets tickets and crickets. I don't buy into the he doesn't post on here much BS either. If you have time to scum some tickets at least make a half ass attempt at warning others. Until the OP posts why he got scammed then my views won't change.

You must not go to supercross often. That happens all the time ant every race and it’s no big deal as long as you’re not in someone else’s seats.

Better seats are matter of opinion. I prefer nosebleeds to see the whole track at once. Some people prefer sitting track level to stare at one jump the entire race.

I go to at least one round every year- usually two. I prefer to be closer to the track, in the lower level.. and I spend the money to do so. OPs comment was “I’d hate to buy cheap seats and actually have to sit in them” and complained about stadiums that check tickets before allowing you into a section.
 

If you’re going to play that game, know the risks and know you may have to sit in the seats you paid for. Don’t act like you’re somehow entitled to sit in more expensive seats that you didn’t pay for.

You must of never lived in an apartment where people park in your spot when you come home from work. Using your logic its no big deal that you're using my parking spot I pay for while im out since I can just come get you to tell you to move from it.

Or you could just pay for a better parking spot to begin with 🤷‍♂️

We’re talking supercross seating, Not apartments. Apparently you didn’t read what I wrote. As I said before, it’s no big deal as long as you’re not in someone else’s seat that’s been paid for. Again, it happens at every race. If someone’s in your seats, ask them to move. There’s bigger things to worry about than wondering what seats someone paid for. It happened to me twice this year, I’ve asked them to move and they did. No big deal. The Karen’s have invaded supercross…..whining on vital isn’t going to change the average ticket buying supercross fan. Go protest at the next race and make your concerns known

Call me old fashioned but sit where you bought your seats. Simple as that. Can I kick someone out of my seats if they’re in them, absolutely. Should I have to? Nope. This isn’t about being a Karen to me, it’s about doing what you’re supposed to do, which is sit your ass in the seats on your ticket you bought. This shit is why I despise going to events.

This is all taken out of context. You have literally quoting something that didn't exist. Let me try to help you.

OP wrote: "Id rather not buy the cheap seats". "hate and "actually sit in them" weren't part of the statement.

What the OP was saying is that he would prefer not to buy tickets FOR A SECOND TIME that were in the cheap seats, which I would chalk up to not having the money to pay for the expensive ones FOR A SECOND TIME due to scammers. I empathize with that deeply, and apparently so does Feld.

There is probably some opportunity for a stadium to monetize 'dynamic seats' because as C.worthy points out, this is normal practice at the races. IMO, it actually makes them way less boring.
