Buying concert tickets on craigslist?

[Bernadine]

Is this crazy?  Do people get ripped off all the time with counterfeit tickets?  The woman seems normal through email.  Lol.

I'm a trusting person, but people I know that have done this in the past haven't had problems with it. The only thing I'd say is meet her in a very public place to avoid ending up in a hole with a bottle of lotion

We did it for a Van Morrison concert. We met the guy at Starbucks, he showed us the tickets, we gave him the cash.

Not that I have done it more than once, but I didn't get screwed that time.

I just remembered I've bought Ravens tickets off of Craigslist. I'm going to get tickets for J for Vday. He's going to flip!

I've bought Phillies tix on craigslist before. Have you tried stubub?

We're meeting at Starbucks and she told me her husband is a police officer, so this is legit. Lol!

I've sold tickets on CL and I'd buy them from there. I feel like most people are legit. Maybe I'm naive.

I sold some PGA tour golf tickets that my company gave me on CL one time. The tickets had come to me with a perforated bottom, like there had been a bottom piece to the ticket that had been removed, that's just how they always come. The lady who bought them from me on CL seemed extremely suspicious and kept asking why it looked like something had been torn off and if it was a legit ticket. I knew for sure they were legit tickets, but I felt bad, since she had no idea I was honest and they WERE legit tickets with nothing shady going on. I finally convinced her that that is how they always came. Maybe I just have an honest face. LOL

I've bought concert and sporting event tickets on CL. Definitely meet in a public place...even if her husband is a cop!

What show are you getting tickets for?

I sold tickets on CL before. H met the guy at a coffee shop and we had paper tickets.

I'd make sure they were paper tickets (not an eticket) that had the original value on it to make sure you aren't getting ripped off.
