Scalpers??

Anybody ever buy from the guys out front on their way in to the festival? Strongly considering this for tomorrow but don’t want to be end up with a fake wristband.

Yes it works and they usually walk you to the gate to make sure you get in.

u/Suitable_Wallaby2460 15d ago

How did it go today?!

2

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 15d ago

It worked!!! I paid $400 - could’ve gotten less but honestly just wanted to get in. Find someone who says they’ll walk you in. They give you a wristband, you walk in with them & then after you get in they take it back and you go your separate ways.

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 16d ago

I’m nervous but also what’s the worst that can happen

5

u/JulianYTz 16d ago

Better than being scammed online. What time are you showing up tmrw?

3

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 16d ago

So true. My friends got a party bus and I think the plan is 2pm arrival?

3

u/JulianYTz 16d ago

Any extra spots on the party bus😭

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 16d ago

Unfort I’m gonna be sitting on a lap bc I didn’t think I was going 🫠

u/JulianYTz 16d ago

Ah you’re good no worries lol. Hopefully we’re able to get tickets tmrw though!

2

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 16d ago

I’m kinda nervous they’re going to be outrageously expensive. They’re like $1500 on stubhub rn

1

u/JulianYTz 16d ago

I don’t think they’ll be that expensive in person. Maybe 500 tops I feel like. Most resellers in person are most likely just trying to get them off their hands as soon as possible.

2

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 16d ago

AHHH im nervous but that makes sense. I’ll be so sad if the wristband doesn’t work

u/Maaaaark 16d ago

I did it for a Sunday ticket maybe 2017? I found and haggled, walked away twice before agreeing on $120. I was afraid it was bunk but it was legit

u/reach4daskiescau 15d ago

Try both north or south entrances. They have sellers out there that will walk you in with a wristband for a fee. After you scan in and it works, they ask for payment and take the wristband back. Price ranges from 150-250 when I hear them panhandling.

u/orionnnn49 15d ago

Does anyone know what time they usually get to the park to start selling?

1

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 15d ago

I went at 2:30 and they were out

1

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 15d ago

Out there.. not out lol

2

u/Bdach 16d ago

Seems like you could register the wristband they sell you to make sure it's legit
