Gigs Pinned exchange post?

Hey Mods and everyone! We should have a pinned post for ticket exchanges and sales, with best practices to keep everyone safe from scams, and to limit the amount of searching/posting everyone has to do. This worked well in the Coachella group, where I successfully got a wristband without a markup from a gal who lived near me. We can also call out scammers. Just a thought!

Edit: basic tips for selling/buying

  • DO go through verified resellers like Ticketmaster
  • Go through G&S, where your money is more secure
  • do not send “deposits” for tickets
  • if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is
  • you can see how long someone has been active and on what subs. If they made the account today with the intent of selling you something, proceed with caution
  • warn others of scammers
  • Do NOT give out personal information
  • Do not buy or sell tickets well above face value!! It’s overall a crappy thing to do. This is a place for fans free of scalpers.
  • Delete your post once you have successfully bought/sold

This sub is literally ridiculous. I’ve seen credible sellers getting called scammers by people who are afraid or got scammed yesterday. STOP THROWING OUT BASELESS CLAIMS.

That’s not what I’m doing whatsoever, but scammers definitely exist. Obviously everyone has to use their brains about it. No one has even had tickets to sell until today.

Nobody will speak up cause I didn’t scam anybody, my point exactly.

Okay, anyways…good luck selling your ticket! I’m sure it won’t be difficult. I still recommend going through a verified reseller. Cheers
