SCALPERS STUCK WITH CHRIS BROWN TIX: Folks trying to make money off of his LA concert met with low demand.

       Plenty of aftermarket tickets were still available online just hours before the Wednesday night show at the intimate Avalon venue - two miles from where the singer attacked Rihanna last February. Some sellers even tried to unload tickets below face value.       

       They blame the dampened demand on Brown's felony conviction and Rihanna's recent account of the horrific night to ABC's Diane Sawyer.      

       "It seems he lost a lot more fans than I expected." said Danny McElroy, 18, an executive assistant from Ventura County who bought four tickets with the intent to sell two at a premium. McElroy was still looking for a buyer Wednesday morning.      

       "The Avalon is small and I expected it to sell out the first day, but it didn't. I'm not much of a fan, but I bought these tickets for my girlfriend," he said. "I've had trouble selling (them). I'm just trying to get back  what I paid for them."      

       Even professional brokers overestimated demand.      

       "If I had Chris Brown tickets last year, I was going to be able to sell them for a lot. This time I had more ads up on Craigslist, and I never even got a single call," said Kyle Jones of Konnected Tickets in West Hollywood. Jones eventually sold his four tickets with the help of a friend. He didn't make a profit.      

       "People weren't willing to pay more like they did for Jay-Z," he said, referring to the rapper's concert in Los Angeles last week. "Personally, I think the situation makes you think differently of (Brown) and his singing. I can't even listen to him sing. It only takes one thing for people to look at you different."
