If you're gonna go to all the effort and travel that far, you may as well get the BEST seats in the house.

Tickets now has them as high as $632. And you can leave comments, teehee. I enjoyed reading the reviews from last year.

How many of those reviews are jokes? "They wouldn't even sell us a grilled cheese sandwich!"

I'm starting to think all the reviews are jokes, and I don't mind if they are! This is my favorite part:

Best For: No one (2), NOBODY (1), Masochists (1), Lizards (1), Completely unfamiliar (1)

I'm trying to decide if I feel more like a Masochist or a Lizard today.

Lizard is winning!

It hardly seems that the two are mutually exclusive.

Masochistic Lizard FTW!

# 5 - If you cannot handle any of the above info, that's OK, these tickets may not be for you. There are other sources.

OMG I want to join that theme camp!!

They do this every year, same picture, same auction text and terms. I always wonder if they manage to sell the tickets or not. Obviously someone gets lower tier each year in order to pull this off.

Ticket resellers... is anyone That Stupid? Must be, or the seller would quit.

The only reason to keep ticket info secret is tickets of questionable source, stolen, etc.
We could flag ebay about them, but ebay no longer cares about fraud.
Note secret bidding now, allowing rampant shilling and price rigging.

NEVER TRUST EBAY PRICES UNLESS CONFIRMED PERSONALLY.


Many people put stuff up at high prices and just hope for a sale.
On amazon too.
(Like $600 for a $35 tv.)
