Ticket Brokers? (tickets, myspace, concert, bands)

SixByNine · 06-07-2007, 10:43 PM

I'm buying concert tickets from a online ticket broker for the first time and I was wondering how reliable these sites are. Has anyone been ripped off before? I don't want to wire these guys my money then have them run off into the dark with my stubs in one hand and dough in the other.

Eh, I might try it once and if you get the tickets than its good but it looks kind of sketchy, best priced tickets on sold out events? Ticketmaster/the bands website are usually the way to go.

I wouldn't bet my money on something like that.

But I can tell you, lot's of bands put you on the guestlist if you just talk to them on myspace for a while. (Especially if it's the opening act)

get them to photocopy the tickets and fax the copy to you with all the ticket information on it, that way you have visual proof of the tickets and if need be something to take to the cops

BTW: if the ticketbroker is overseas DO NOT SEND MONEY
