Fake tickets

Pibbs Permalink
Pibbs My girlfriends 15 year old sister and mom who's on crutches and has lupus just purchased fake tickets for tonight from some slime ball. This was the only show they could afford to go to. The mon has been seeing them for 20 years. If anyone can help. Youd be a miracle worker. Thanks for hearing my sad plea, ;)

Happy new year

iGottaJibboo My mom and sister did not deserve this. It was going to be such a special night for my mom, that she would be spending with her daughter. The grimy worm that did this to then desrves hell. To give it to him, I am giving all of you his number. Please hold back no fury while sending him endless messages. Please phamily, these are such good people, and this was the only thing my mom could afford to give my sister for the holiday. They are now heartbroken, on a train home to New Jersey. Don't let this guy sleep tonight. He spent the day on the phone woth my mom, coordinating the meeting. He knew her medical situation and my sister and boyfriend went to meet him. He looked my sister in the eye an handed her fake tickets. What kind of person does this?

dkast85 I had a trade ready. Planned out beautifully. My 12/30 for a NYE ticket. I got there and the guy pulled out a NYE ticket that was an obvious fake. He was a real phan and you could tell he was oblivious. He was sold that ticket on Craigslist. I hated to turn him down but i left the guy out in the cold. Fake tickets are bad news bears. Learn to spot them!

What's sad is this guy has been trying to f*** people all day. I personally met up with him earlier. "angel Thomas". He had the same number as the one you posted. 4 tix for tonight from "ticketmaster" for 90 each with fake proof of purchase. The good thing for myself is I knew how to spot fakes as these really weren't very well made. The bad news for him is my moms BF and freaked and got in touch with some of his friends that work for the NYPD detective department and we have reported him, his name, where he said he worked, and description so hopefully this won't happen to anyone else again when it comes to this f***. My feelings go out to your family. I have yet to buy fake tiks ever but I can imagine the despair.

SicMD There are sooo many safe ways to buy tickets. Sounds to me like you were an easy target. No offence, but there are so many real tickets that can become fakes. IE codes disconnected and tickets re issued. If you paid less than actuall value( Not Face) then you were a target. If its too good to be true it must be a fake. Id love a real break down of the full story. Where you found these deals, price, type of ticket... You stated proof of purchase? this is a red flag to me. If the tickets were real why the need for proof of purchase. I think you were the perfect target. I could be wrong. Sure, the excitement of scoring a sick deal usually means you lose your sences. Ive heard stub hub guarantees the tickets they sell correct? Ebay people sell real tickets. to easy to track you back down after the sale if paypal is used. Just saying. this whole story seems fishy. Now theres two fises out of water......

SicMD So moral of the story is you did not help them one bit get real tickets? You let them get suckered by not being there with them. If you had used all the multiple legal ways to get real tickets you would not have this sob type of story. Stupid is as stupid does. Like i said flame away i could be wrong.... Ive seen it all

Herbdacious Hey what is that trick to spot fake tickets with the lighter is it real ones or fake ones that get black on the other side

spacecoyote Permalink
spacecoyote If you put a Bic lighter to the top right corner of the face of the ticket it will burn because fire is hot and you shouldn't burn tickets.

Superballin I bought a real printout 29th for face for my friend the other night out on the street at around 730. It's not hard to figure out if its real or not. Ask them for the download code and type it in on your phone. Code is valid, ticket is real, go party. And don't buy from sketchy people.

doesn't matter they make fake tickets with heat sensitive paper these days. Last year we got fakes that we did the lighter test with. the best way is to hold it over/up to a light source and the tcket will have a greenish blue glow to it. bring a little mini flash light with you when you go to buy your tickets

CornFromAJar Well PTBM tickets have the Phish logo printed in UV ink on the back. Hold it at the right angle (or use a UV flashlight) and you can clearly see the Phish logo printed in clear ink.

iGottaJibboo The guy seemed so legit man. He sold it to us for face plus fees, which is what it was advertised as, and gave us a receipt. I guess we had too much faith in it man. My mom tried so hard to find anything for them to get into the show yesterday. This morning she is still beating herself up about it. Thanks for the tips guys, at least now we are better prepared for future endeavors.
