This is one of the problems I have witht eh Swarm.  It takes the real fans
and puts them out of good tickets.  It used to be that the real fans waited
outside the Theater for days to get the best tickets to the basketball games.
Now we have a bunch of "Of course I'm a fan, I paid my $10!" fans getting
the tickets because they joined a group designed to create more fans.  This
group alienated all of the people that were already fans.  I don't care if
the $10 was for a t-shirt or whatever.  The truth of the matter is from what
I've heard, this group creates a bunch of pseudo-fans at the expense of the
existing real ones...
