I used to do it all the time before I got into the Dead. Then I was educated to the evil ways of the scalper and never bought a ticket for more than it's cover value again. Once saw a mini-riot at a Dead show in Philly when some kind fellow grabbed a huge stack of tickets from a scalper and threw them in the air. Chaos ensued to say the least.

Wow we were in the same vicinity. Thats was the Rectum in 1988 or 89 I believe or maybe JFK in 1989??? Close to that time frame! I was standing right there when it all happened. It was a female that grabbed those tickets and wham filled the air with tixs!!! Nice reminder.

Yea I can't remember if it was 88 or 89 either but my gut tells me it was 89. Makes one think, I wonder how many people on this forum I would have recognized or even talked to at a show back then.

thinking back now, I think you are right it was a dude and the Philly "Yos" chased him down. If I remember right he didn't even get one. Just grabbed them and tossed them in the air and took off. Yeah funny how many things we properly saw together but from a different angle.
