This is not a case about paying more than face value it is about representing something fraudulently. Selling "Floor" tickets when no such section exists, listing 9 separate categories of seats with different prices when in fact only 1 category of ticket at one price exists is misleading and fraudulent. Shame on TicketsNow and I hope no one else is induced by such fraudulent advertising to purchase something far below what they were led to believe they were purchasing.

I would never pay above face for a ticket that is General Admission, which is basically first come, first served. A GA ticket does not guarantee you a good seat or good standing area. I do use a ticket broker on occasion, but only for front row or VIP seats and I do expect for pay more. Ticket brokers are basically legal scalpers. Fortunately, my broker does take care of me and gives me discounts and comps my parking. My suggestion in the future is that before purchasing a ticket, check the venue seating charts and/ or call the venue box office to verify that you are getting what you think you are getting. Note that seating charts that specify specific seating areas do NOT apply to General Admission.
