I don't know why soo many people get pissed about selling pre-sale tickets to a show they're on. The venue/promoter is taking a chance putting you on a bigger show and if your band can't draw 50 kids then you probably shouldn't be going after those larger shows yet. It's not a scam, its the venue/promoter taking a risk and trying to back it up. I never had any problems with that and we often got a cut of what we sold as a thank you along with the offer to come back again.
