Ok stop laughing. I‘m looking for two tickets for tonight
checked out all the ticket brokers online. Lucky to get in for $250@ plus fees
$250 not bad for good seats. Any ideas. Best chance going down early for scalpers?
Been a long time since I did this annual ritual
I have posted this caveat before when buying scalped tickets outside for the BET is suggested: be very careful.
I've been buying tickets off the street for decades, across the country and in other countries, for countless concerts and sporting events. The only time I ever got burned buying fakes was outside MSG for the 2004 BET final game vs. Pitt.
I won't bore with the details again, but suffice to say it was a major operation and I almost got myself in trouble trying to call attention to the guys and have them busted after the fact.
Bottom line: don't buy from anyone who looks like a scalper, and if the deal sounds too good to be true (e.g., $200 for mid-court lowers) it probably isn't real. Look for a fan, preferably one with kids.
These days probably safest just to watch the secondary market sites and wait for the price drop as suggested above, or go to some of the busiest nearby bars and ask around.
