The secondary ticket market.
It teems with life. You used to only see it outside stadiums where shady dudes held up tickets to sold out shows for insane prices. Scalpers, we used to call them. Now we call them secondary ticket brokers.
Some dude sitting outside a show, smelling of booze and weed, attempting to sell his tickets for major cash has now been legitimized by the market and even Wikipedia.org.
Enter Al Gore and his miraculous invention, the internet. Now, thanks to this great man, we can all skip the booze/weed stench and head straight to many great secondary ticket websites to find that desired ticket.
While many sites offer secondary tickets, few sites out there actually do aggregate sales from a number of other sites. Think Orbitz, Priceline, etc., but with tickets. One such site that I have found to be most excellent is TicketsFTW (For The Win!). They actually search numerous secondary ticket sites for you in order to get you the best price.
Check it out sometime if you want Superbowl XLIV tickets, or Springsteen tickets. But don't expect to see me at the Springsteen show. I know it makes me un-American, but I can't stand that douche.
