I didn't really understand BMORG's response to a ticket shortage - Lotteries play right into the scalper strength - the ability to file lots and lots of requests with different credit cards. I only had three active credit cards, so I could only enter the lottery three times (I didn't get a ticket this year) - but scalpers have a whole catalogue of credit cards and addresses to purchase tickets with. They must have been chuckling with glee when they saw the system this year.
