There is nothing more upsetting than missing out on a show because the tickets sold out, partly due to scalpers. There is a special place in hell for the people who look to make profits off of dedicated music fans who would basically pay anything to see their favorite artists.
Kaskade decided to do something about a certain money hungry scalper selling a ticket to the Kaskade Redux show in Boston for $200. Here are some tweets and an Instagram video from Kaskade:
…here in Boston. I just hit up a kid who is selling a redux ticket on Craigslist. He wanted 200 bucks…

I had him meet me here in my hotel lobby (under an alias(duh)) so I could purchase the ticket/confront him…
