There is nothing against selling them them for a profit. The problem is when a business is in the business of selling concert tickets, they must stand behind the purchse.

Today is October 23, 2010. This morning, the seller, David Prandi, calls me to tell me that the tickets that I had purchased on E-Bay.com from him on August 31, 2010, and paid for them immediately via PayPal...
He calls to tell me that the tickets I purchased 7 weeks ago are not valid. On the Fricken Day of the show!
I received a call from him on September 30, 2010. I returned his call, he did not answer, so I left a message. He never called back until TODAY, the DAY OF THE CONCERT!
He said that he would provide a similar replacement ticket, but there are no FRONT ROW TICKETS ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT AVAILABLE!
He had my money for 7 weeks and tells me on the day of the fricken show, Sorry. I can give you a refund.
The tickets he sold me I could not use, and I put them for sale on StubHub.com. I then had to call StubHub and explain to them that I unknowingly sold them fraudulent concert tickets to Shakira. They then had to call the buyer of these tickets and let them know that they got screwed by this [censored] from Friendlytickets.com.
Because he had no choice and he had not replacement tickets for the fake tickets he sold me, he had to refund me for the purchase price, but he refuses to pay for the charges that I incurred for his fraudulent actions.
This is his response word for word:
"take it up with the courts, or ebay or paypal. (ebay and paypal will force me to refund you in full) already did
The court must be filed in the County of Sonoma, and you will have to come here to have your case heard...
take it to court and we will let them decide. I am not going to spend more time on this."
So, if you do business with him, you have to decide whether or not it's worth driving to Sonoma County Court House to sue is lame ###. Here's their address for the court house... 3055 Cleveland Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95403
Please do not do business with this company. Corupt, lame, and not friendly at all.

The misdemeanor charges against Prandi stem from police investigations into the statements of the 19- and 17-year-olds. Police discovered an earlier case in which two 16-year-old girls were approached in downtown Petaluma by a man who invited them to watch videos at his house.
David Prandi followed one of the girls and offered to drive her to his house. She turned back and walked toward downtown. She flagged a police officer and reported what had happened. Both girls picked Prandi out of a lineup as the man who had approached them, Petaluma detectives said... Monster
David Alexander Prandi is now lurking around Las Vegas area doing the same criminal type behavior and stalking pretending he's a millionaire while driving a Toyota corolla
I got scammed by this guy too. David Prandi is just a scammer. Sells tickets and leaves you high and dry! NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS GUY!
He took my tickets which I paid for, says they were no longer good, and he sold them to someone else for more than what I paid for them.
This guy is awful. I think he is a criminal and needs to go back to Prison. If I only knew this BEFORE I bought from him, I would have never bought. With a little search on Google, David Alexander Prandi, you'll find all the crap about this guy and his 'businesses'.

Report that this guy was Convicted for Sexual Assault, and is now a registered Sex Offender
Ex-Deputy Gets Year in Jail for Sexual Assault / Former Marin County officer was friend of teen victims' families
October 22, 1999|By Pamela J. Podger, Chronicle Staff Writer
A former Marin County deputy sheriff was sentenced to one year in Sonoma County Jail and three years of probation for sexually assaulting two young women in his Petaluma home.
Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Patricia Gray sharply rebuked the defendant, David Alexander Prandi, 33, for his apparent lack of remorse and for blaming the victims in a presentencing interview. She chided him for taking advantage of his position as a former law enforcement official and family friend of the victims, as well as planning and calculating his actions.
"Mr. Prandi is in complete denial that he ever did anything inappropriate, and he enrolled his friends and family to write letters on his behalf, " Gray said. "That makes him one of the most dangerous members of this community who don't take responsibility for their actions."
Prandi, who has no prior criminal record and is currently employed at an Internet startup company, faces a state prison term of four years and eight months if he violates his probation. He also must register as a sexual offender for the rest of his life, is forbidden from having any contact with his victims and must pay restitution and fees.
Prosecutor James Casey, who described Prandi as a "sexual terrorist, " said the sentence was appropriate. He said Prandi could be released from jail in nine months, but has the state prison term hanging over his head.
"This is as tough as it gets, " Casey said, noting that as a sexual predator and former correctional officer, Prandi will land at the bottom of the inmate pecking order.
The felony charges of false imprisonment and sexual battery stem from incidents in May when Prandi lured a 17-year-old girl and, the next day, a 19-year-old San Rafael woman to his apartment. On both occasions, the victims told police they were blindfolded and handcuffed. Prandi pleaded no contest to charges that he kissed and fondled the victims and that he penetrated the 19-year-old with his finger.
Prandi, dressed in a charcoal gray suit, attempted yesterday to defend his remarks during the October probation interview, saying he had no money to fight a related civil lawsuit filed just days before and wanted to shield himself from any comments that could be used against him.
"I was extremely guarded in what I had to say, " Prandi said. "I'm sorry for what happened."
Prandi was handcuffed and led away to jail under the gaze of family and courtroom onlookers, including one of his victims who tightly clutched hands with a friend during the judge's remarks.
Contra Costa County lawyer Harry Stern, who represented Prandi, the son of former Marin County Sheriff Charles Prandi, said Prandi was remorseful.
David Prandi has acknowledged "that he has dragged the family name through dirt, " Stern said. "I think it was a fair sentence in light of all that went on. I think he certainly has been humbled by this experience and he hopes the victims have a period of healing."
