So purchasing from Denmark or England or India or Singapore or Dubai is not unusual, at least for someone in a similar situation.
pretty sure thats not the point... the point was misrepresenting your billing address... you can buy your tix wherever you want, in whatever currency you want.... in this case, you could have chosen to display in DKK all day, but the last step where you had to enter your billing address and if you did it correctly, indicating any other country apart from denmark, the real price of these tix would've showed up. or if you looped thru paypal where you had entered a fake danish address, also equates to misrepresentation and thus fraud due to having proper knowledge of the glitch and looking to game the system.

in any case, these threads and situations are always so fun! I look forward to seeing how the DOT rules on this.

p.s. hate UA (and popcorn) with a passion! fun facts
