Here's my sob story: my niece, who turns 15 in 4 weeks, is CRAZY into gaming and hopes to one day turn her hard work and education into a job as a game programmer.

I don't know the whole details but she was supposed to get some kind of alert about when the tickets went on sale. Of course, the alert never came and the tix went on sale on May 7th. They are now sold out. She's bummed, and I feel bad because she's the kind of kid who hardly ever asks for anything, and unfortunately she's way too used to disappointment (she's living with us because her mom and dad are general screw ups who just lost their place and have sold/pawned anything electronic she's ever owned for money for only god knows what).

I'm trying to tap all options. I figured maybe there's someone here who works in gaming or knows people who do who might have some connects.

Thanks for reading.

Dude, you just have to hit eBay, but there are always scalpers outside the venue.
