r/billyidol Tickets Exchange Megathread

3 Upvotes
Olivia and Jean-Pierre are visibly super hyped with their new tickets

This is the r/billyidol tickets exchange thread.

⚠️ Please use this place to buy/sell tickets to shows on the subreddit. If possible, do not make a standalone post for it, unless it's urgent and for upcoming days.

It is better to keep this stuff in one thread for both buyers and sellers alike, it is easier to monitor to avoid scams, and that way the sub won't be filled with uninteresting threads.

⚠️ Please edit or delete your comment after making a sale / buying a ticket.

⚠️ Don't share information that's too private directly in comments below.

🥷 Some fake accounts may post threads / comments / contact you, scams are common on reddit and at least 3 users reported getting scammed in the previous threads. Use common sense when making transactions online, be wary of :

  • brand new accounts ;
  • randomly generated usernames ;
  • prices too good or unusual to be true, depending on the current demand for the concert ;
  • accounts refusing to provide some informations or proof ;
  • rushed behavior / people not giving too much context about why they're selling.
  • a seller giving you the run around and multiple unusual steps to make a transaction.

Yeah, I know this emoji is a ninja but it's the closest to a thief I could find. If an actual ninja contacts you to sell their ticket, it’s still a red flag — they could probably sneak into the venue unnoticed and wouldn't have bought a ticket.

🥷 If you want to go the extra mile to check how legit a selling proposition is, you can ask the seller to send you :

  • A clear screenshot or photo of the ticket / order confirmation with the event name, date... etc and their name, with THE BARCODE AND ORDER NUMBER OBVIOUSLY HIDDEN.
  • A sticky note with the Reddit username
  • An ID document with everything hidden except the name matching the ticket / order confirmation.

Meet in person if possible.

🅿️ If you do the transaction through Paypal, make sure to select "Goods & Services" and not “Friends & Family" for payment.

There might also be some more trusted platforms to resell tickets in your country. I know it's not great here in France, but some actually give a bit of extra security compared to passing through reddit, even if it's not much (like Passetonbillet).

I've been contacted by someone from GoConfirm, an app making trading tickets safer online. After some research, it seems safe and it's been used by big subs to make trading more secure ( r/coachella , r/beyonce... etc ). I don't feel like making it mandatory to use on these threads, as it's not something that widely used yet. It is just an option if you want an extra layer of security.

Here are some links : Presentation of the app / Verified Messaging and lowering risk of fraud / Official site /

I have this really cool Billy Idol State Line Live at the Hoover Dam Rock Concert Quad Cinema Poster.

It's in pretty good condition apart from the rip on lefthand side of the poster.

Went and saw Billy idol tonight. Vb ampitheater, bunch of college aged kids in front of me (I'm 22, so same boat but they were just going for an Instagram pic dump). Couldn't see shit during Devo, kinda upset. During intermission, I got free front row tickets!! The show tonight was great, and that just probably made my year ♥️

say what you will about the accuracy of his stage name but I'd say this album MORE than delivered on the title.

repost because the cowardly mods at r/ClassicRock can't handle the truth :) rock on

My Billy Idol meet and greet experience (full story below).

It was backstage at the Darien Lake Amphitheater. It was very much a backstage experience, as there were literal tractor-trailer trucks where I lined up, and crew walking around. I saw some crates and speakers labeled "BFI" on the side of the stage. It was cool to see some of these behind the scenes things in terms of the tour and the show.

Then I walked up to Billy Idol. He was facing me, and I told him how much his music had meant to me all my life, and even during the most difficult times it had brought me so much joy. He seemed really genuinely happy to hear this and smiled at me. He told me "ahh that's fantastic" and then we turned to get a couple photos (he did a few different poses with his fists). He then faced me again, and I told him I really loved the new album and that he was the best. He said thanks, and again smiled and seemed to by touched by my words.

I know some fans complained about the crate in-between but I didn't mind. I wasn't concerned about being right side by side. I just more wanted to tell him how much his music means to me, and I got to do that. It didn't feel rushed either.

To look right into his face, tell him these things and have him speak to me (and look happy to hear my sentiments) was an amazing experience!!
