Re: Q's about buying concert tickets on Ebay (poss. BC)

I say, buy 'em on Craigslist for your area, and pick them up in
person.>>

BTW, picking them up in person means nothing with Ticketfast. The
seller could meet with 1 or 10 people and give them the same Ticketfast
tickets.

Anyone buying Ticketfast tickets from a person they don't know is
taking a real risk. Selling a Ticketfast ticket multiple times is a
routine scam.

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or experience to share about
buying tickets on Ebay, i.e. possible pitfalls, ripoffs and other
assorted disappointments.

Just yesterday there was a story about 600 people who had bought tickets for
Barbra Streisand (yeah, I know) from someone who had used a stolen credit
card to buy them originally, so they were all nullified. Ouch!

My sister got front-row center tix to the SLC Olympic opening ceremony, and
many of the competitions, for face value or less on eBay. No problems at
all.

I say, buy 'em on Craigslist for your area, and pick them up in person.
People are often dumping tix at the last minute for face or less. That's how
I got to see Joe Jackson on his latest tour, for $10 less than face, without
worrying about missing out in the case of a sell-out.

HTH,
