mr.jingles Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Ugh!! I've been bamboozled!! Bought fake Muse tix!! Good thing I already have legit tix. I was just hoping for an upgrade : (. Oh well, I'll be going to the show in Boston the next day, GA. I feel sorry for you. Sadly there's a lot of people out there willing to take advantage of fan devotion by over charging ticket prices or in the worst cases (as yours) selling fake tickets.

Degrassi41 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Wow. I missed a lot of convo over the weekend. Sorry for the fake tix, that really sucks. No more snow. Please. I'm starting to go stir crazy and the city is a narsty, inconvenient place when the sidewalks are covered. I'll settle for 40 degree weather, as long as I have my box wine in the queue with me I'm cool with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellamyspiano Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 There was an ad on Craigslist for 2 hard tix, floor section 6. I've bought legit tix off craigslist before, so I wasn't worried. When I met the guy in the city, he handed me a ticketmaster envelope with the 2 tix in it. I looked at the front and back of each ticket without actually taking them out of the envelope. When I got in my car and actually took them out of the envelope, I knew they were fake right away. ::'(: The ink felt really cheap. When I got home, I compared them to ticketmaster tix from other concerts. The ink is different, and there isn't a glossy sheen to them. It's as if he had blank ticketmaster tickets without the glossy finish, and printed them out himself. I haven't reported him yet because I've had others e-mail him for tickets. If he tries to sell more to them, hopefully I can get a cop to bust him. I'm just happy I'm still going to the concert OMG! He had the cheek to actually hand fake tickets to you, face to face??!! That is DESPICABLE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalive Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 ^^^ I randomly watched Troy last night. /off topic It's kind of a guilty pleasure film for me. I hate that it barely follows the book but I kind of love it anyway. Yay man candy.

Thankfully you have tickets as a backup but, seriously. It never ceases to surprise me that this does actually happen, and it is actually common. I'm just happy you have back ups. No more snow.

It was about 50 in the city on Saturday, so hopefully this Spring preview will hold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtxa90 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Got tickets to this gig but the only way I could get two was to purchase them seperately...so my gf and I are sitting at opposite sides of the stadium...lame. Was just wondering if anyone knows if people just stand there so I can go stand with her or if you have to be in your seats etc... I'm kinda worried thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellamyspiano Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 You can give it a go, but some places are usually very strict about standing in random areas, and letting people into certain sections, unless you have a ticket for that area, will probably be a no too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerenthar Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 got tickets. i wonder how heinous sec. 415 behind the stage seats are... i'm happy i'll get to see them live, whether or not i have the worst seat in the house! that being said, ticketmaster hosed me by not disclosing 'retail pickup' means 'retail pick up in new york' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda worried thanks you might be able to stand with her at her seat, depends on the security guards as well they can be asses if they want to be. Plenty of shows I've been to though I have looked around for free spots and hung out there to the righful seat owner showed up and I had to move. Might as well try it though, the worst that can happen is they tell you to move. I can not believe how close this show is...I just want March to come already!
