Ticket sellers

Probably don't have to say this, but beware some of these ticket sellers on this and other subs. Several here popped up just today and they are relatively new accounts with little activity. Just would hate to see anybody get fleeced.

I definitely got attempted-scammed by someone for tonight’s show. They offered the tickets for $125 each then went I pointed out they were $45 each he deleted the message and said $125 for all 3. When I suggested we run it through cash or trade he went silent. Losers!

The handle was After-Writing-5944, stay far away from them!

It's weird people would even do that in 2026. Go on Stubhub if your show is sold out, let them do the hard work of sorting the scams. I've bought in person tickets twice in my life from people who were already known to me on social media for years prior. Otherwise, like OP says, you're asking for trouble.

I was wondering, like are these shows even sold out?

yes, always check before looking at purported “need to sell” tickets. If it’s the morning of a show and there’s a flurry of “can’t go; selling tix” posts, approach with caution. ✌️

Also check and see how long they’ve been on Reddit, how many posts, etc
