That in no way is him being an asshole and trying to stop the sale. Him being an asshole and trying to stop the sale would probably go something like this... "hey dont buy tickets from this guy, hes a bad seller and will try to rip off you" or something along those lines. I personally havent seen the thread in question, but from all the quotes you posted it didnt seem like he was like that at all. All he said was that theyre available at some other place for cheaper, thats not being an asshole, thats just fucking smart shopping.
