Ah, I remember camping out for tickets once. I was 14, and surrounded by adult women who didn't think twice about shoving a kid aside to get a better place in line. I was devastated that I didn't get to go to that Garth Brooks concert!!
Flashback aside, I like the way that the store I work for does tickets. For the few shows that Ticketmaster DOESN'T do here, you have to go get an arm bracelet to wear before the tickets go on sale. The day they go on sale, a random number is called, and that person gets to be first in line. I guess it kind of sucks if you have the number right before the number called, but it does help control the masses. Also, there is a limit on the tickets one can buy...ages ago, each person could buy 10+ tickets, so people in the front would buy ten, use six, scalp the rest, and actually make money. Big Ben, your idea may be the best yet.
