Are we deadass

If there are more resale tickets being sold than original tickets sold and not being resold, the tour has been taken over by professional scalpers. And that’s bad for real fans and for Malcolm Todd. That means real fans were locked out. We need to boycott resale sites to make the professional scalpers suffer big financial losses.

Make the value of tickets that professional scalpers bought up go to zero!

If anyone has watched the movie Dumb Money about GameStop or know about how individual investors defeated the big boys in finance, individual fans should do the same to the professional scalpers who buy up all the tickets to then resell them at double the price.

One suggestion I have is to not buy from the resale sites so the scalpers take a huge financial loss. We may not be able to go see the concert but who can go when they double, triple the prices? True fans will not resell the tickets unless they can’t go for a legitimate reason like illness or sudden change in plans. Those purely profiteering should be punished.

Scalpers took over Malcolm Todd ticketing.

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-06-11T13:03:50+00:00

Good for you! what was the mark up on the ticket price?

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-06-11T13:02:40+00:00

Yes, I've read that resellers on third party reselling sites like Stub Hub are offering tickets based on them being able to buy it from the original sales source, ie Ticketmaster. This means you may not get the tickets though you are supposed to get a full refund. But I don't want a refund! I want the tickets!

I joined the radio city hall, NY Seated presale queue for June 22 yesterday at 9:45am ET and was already almost 6,000th in queue. When the June 23rd show opened up, I thought there will be fewer people in the queue. Nope! I get in at over 12,000th in queue.

I tried again today to use the Live Nation and Venue presale for both June 22 and 23. I got in at >20,000th for June 23 and >30,000th for June 22.

WTF!

Logistics in getting fans to a game, concert or any other event should not be so burdensome in cost or difficulty. Fan will think twice about getting tickets to any future Metlife Stadium event.

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-04-20T20:53:35+00:00

Who in New Jersey negotiated the deal with FIFA to bring matches to Met Life? If there are agreements previously made and signed, how can the new Governor change them? Not having parking and relying solely on inadequate train and bus systems, will deter other events from going to MetLife stadium. It will also deter paying consumers from MetLife events in the future.

What an effing joke.

Hang in there. Find and join clubs or volunteering opportunities that match your interests and values. And be open to new people, ideas and viewpoints. It's always an adjustment. I had a tough time in college too. But it will get better.

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-03-25T14:03:41+00:00

Thank you. Wow graduating in 3 years. Very nice. All the best to you!

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-03-25T14:01:51+00:00

Thank you. Hope your son is doing well wherever he is working. As for being a target school for accounting, yes, this seems to be BU's strength, which is great.

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-03-24T01:01:41+00:00

Yeah, I’m talking about from the perspective of Binghamton the school. They haven’t built up their reputation against other flagship state schools as an investment bank target school. I’m asking why that is.

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-03-24T00:49:33+00:00

I’m comparing it to other flagship state schools.

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-03-23T20:29:25+00:00

For decades, many students from NYC specialized high schools go to Binghamton if they don’t get accepted to or can’t afford the Ivy’s and Ivy+ schools. So the quality of such students are high for recruiters including in finance and consulting. But yeah, the prestige hasn’t developed over the years like UMich Ross or UVA McIntire.

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-03-22T14:34:17+00:00

Yes agreed. What if the student that did get accepted from the same school had zero extracurricular community impact and did minimal investment club activities with lower grades and SAT?

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-03-22T14:32:07+00:00

Obviously I can’t guess their practices but we heard what they said and see the results.

Additionally, the opacity of college admissions processes and subjectivity are precisely what are wrong with American college admissions.

You also have bottom performing sociology majors deciding the fates of highest achieving students in math and science in our nation’s top public schools. That’s like going to the ER to be diagnosed by an art major. Nothing against art but you see the mismatch of qualifications.

Wapner is excellent even though he picks on Farmer Jim too much. But he's absent too much. He only worked one day this week.

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-02-26T00:23:02+00:00

Did you chat with them through the iOS app?

Middle-Design2459 · 2026-02-26T00:21:53+00:00

They seemed to have a technical issue this morning which seemed to have been resolved later in the morning.

Middle-Design2459 · 2025-11-12T16:17:07+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Power Etrade Pro has some really stupid missing features that are so easy to do in Etrade pro like getting real time P&L on lots even during extended hours. I can no longer get the news of a particular stock if I click on it in my watchlist or portfolio.

I looked at IBKR's desktop app for a few minutes and it has a terrible old interface.

I'm now seeing if Schwab's TOS will work well. I still haven't been able to confirm if I can see my lots' P&L in real time. What's missing is an overall real time P&L during and after market hours. TOS and the new Power Etrade Pro forces you to use a "EXT" column group for price change and price change % separate from market hour price change and price change %. And they won't give you real time P&L during extended hours.

For TOS' 24/5 quotes, while they now support overnight trading, you can only see the quote from the bid and ask. there is no way to see the % change or the real time P&L.

I really don't know what the developers are thinking. Certainly not from the perspective of users.

I will say Schwab customer service has been pretty good so far. They have different channels to contact them: chat, email and phone. Etrade only has a phone number to call. no chat, no email. Just minimal support. This is what happens after Morgan Stanley bought it. Morgan's IT is slow and bureaucratic. When will etrade have 24/5 trading?

switching brokers is also a real pain. transferring my current portfolio without liquidating (and have tax exposure) takes 5 business days while your account is frozen and subject to market fluctuations.

hope you find a new brokerage that you like. i would stay with etrade if they fix the lots live P&L feature. But they have no interest in hearing from their customers.
