so say im stan, i go out and make 2000 fake tickets. why the fuck would i be stupid enough to sell them myself? obviously i would have thought about things that could have gone wrong. ie. people finding out there were fakes and everything gettin traced to the seller.
i dont know, i just find it quite hard to believe that any of these promoters could be involved or that dumb.

Agreed it does sound like an insane situation and you are right anyone involved in this mess is pretty dumb. The facts of this matter are as follows:
1) Fake Tickets were sold for the Grande Finale
2) The Police are investigating this matter on grand fraud scale
3) Twisted Productions has done their best to keep the public informed based on the facts that they are aware of
4) No official Staement has been released by Solid Corp
5) This matter is unclosed
Now the rumors that are running around on this post are clear many people are getting accused of selling or distributing these fake tickets and it is up to them to inform the police of all thier knowledge to try and correct this situation as best as possible. Talking, Backstabbing and Name calling on a public forum/board does not solve this issue.
Again props to the Twisted Organization for doing their best in trying to keep the public informed especially in a situation as uncomfortable as this one has been made for everyone.
It is unfortunate that the Solid Corperation has not yet spoken on this topic and if directed by council to not talk in regards to this matter I respect that and do not push the issue. I am sure a staement will be released in due time.
I know these are tough times in our scene with not only the Plaza of Nations closing but also a nice little scandal to go along with it. Right now this scene needs the support of everyone to survive.
For all those people out there that are into this scene purely for the dollars and cents I don't dislike you........I hate you. There are many ticket resellers out there that do not care about this scene or the parties themselves they purely care about making money and this scene was not founded on that and to all the promoters out there no matter how long you have been at it I hope you can remember why you got involved in this in the first place and that was simply to put together a kick ass party that everyone can come and enjoy. Granted on a buissness side of things you have to approach large events very careful as there is alot of money at risk.(More than most people can imagine) But in the past few months it has been made very clear to me who really gives a damn about this scene and who doesn't and I can honestly admit that even I have been fooled by some of them.
For instance not to single anyone out but a prime example is Lawerence. Most people know him and this guy shows up to help out with partys all the time. Most of the time not getting paid and working long hours. That is what this scene is about. I know there are several others that do alot like Bebe and Kraig who shows up days in advance to make sure everything is going to be good for the Dj's and many others too list. That is what this scene is about and right now I can not speak for them but me I'm really let down by the whole matter. Yes I'm going to be a little selfish here. I put alot of time and alot of work in planning and designing and implemeting the Grande Finale to really leave the Plaza the way I thought we should as a scene with everything it's done for us and then this happens and over shadows all the work and the good intentions that everyone put into this event. That's a major piss off to me. Anyways my bitching is done.
P.S. 2000 x 50 = 100,000.00 (As an example)
