As a student at Bingham High School, I hear of a lot of my friends who want to go to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's annual Christmas concert. After reading, "Tickets tempt fibbers and scalpers" by Doug Robinson, I find it sad to hear of all the things that people will do to get into that concert.
Every year my family tries to get tickets through the official lottery-type system, and you can tell your odds aren't very good. The thing that upsets me is when people actually get some tickets drawn for them but then turn around and try to sell them. I think it is very dishonest when people do that and it ruins the Christmas spirit.

It's called free market.
If you don't buy the tickets from those reselling, then the problem will stop since those reselling won't make a profit.
It's amazing what free market economics can do people.

This letter is absolutely correct. As ECR stated, anyone who bought or sold these tickets should be ashamed of themselves.
The LDS Church provided these tickets to the general public for free. It is a blasphemous slap in the face to the More..
Just curious, I've seen whole page advertisements promoting the sale of last year's concert with Natalie Cole. So it's ok for the Church to make money off the concert, but not the people with tickets?
