Hell no. I'd take the money. But the difference here is in intent. If someone came up and offered such crazy money for it, I would accept it, but my intent was still to be in the moment and be a part of the culture of the product. This is far different from someone who just waits in line to sell it.
Case in point: I camped out for Eagles playoff tickets a few years ago (for the infamous Falcons games where 10,000 people campoed out). Everyone there was camping out because of love of the team and wanting to see them in the playoffs the year they were SUPPOSED to win it all. Needless to say, I never got a ticket because I was one of 10,000 waiting for a ticket when only 2,000 were available. I didnt care that much because I got to share in the experience with a bunch of like-minded and equally passionate fans.
That said, if any of us there knew that one of those that got tickets only did so to sell them at a profit, they would have found him in a ditch somewhere. That is a betrayal and a bastardization of everything an Eagles fan is.
The true FANS who wait should be rewarded... not the vultures.
