We here at PDS were excited to watch the upcoming Avengers film on opening day. The key word is “were.” Because all the advance tickets were sold out!
And worst of all, some of these tickets weren’t bought by fans. They were claimed by villains that steal joy and sow ruin, all for an eye for profit. They are called scalpers! Scalpers strike at any popular event. Known targets have included Coldplay and BTS concerts, where tickets were bought in bulk and resold at ridiculously high prices. Dealing with it can be a long and lonely road. Here are some tips that can help!
1. Don’t reward bad behaviour!
Yes, your heart will hurt when you see all the tickets for your anticipated event sell out in seconds. So don’t hurt your wallet too by refusing to deal with scalpers! In fact, don’t even go online to check out what the scalpers are selling.
If you have to go online, guard your eyes with our range of WORKSafe Safety spectacles. They come coated with UV and blue light resistance, safeguarding your eyes as you blog about how upset you are at scalpers.
2. Contain your anger
The world is already an unfair place. Scalpers may make your blood boil, but please don’t get too upset. If you do, the scalpers would be winning even more. Keeping your fury in check is difficult, but keeping valuable or harmful objects can be even more difficult. We have a range of Justrite Safety Cabinets for that very purpose! Resilient and hardy.
3. Don’t be afraid to cry
Sometimes the best way to deal with disappointment is to let the tears flow. Studies have actually shown that crying can lift your spirits afterwards! Get your sturdiest tissues and have a good cry. Or use our New Pig absorbents, which not only absorb tears without an issue, but also chemical spills, oil and other hazardous liquids too!
Here’s hoping your next concert or movie ticket won’t be denied to you by these resellers!
