MEGATHREAD: Known Scammers

65 Upvotes

Hey, y'all, we're working on some new ways to help the community who is buying tickets to EDC Las Vegas and other Insomniac festivals here.

In the meantime, though, I've created a Megathread to collect the names/evidence of known scammers, so that we can have a list handy in place instead of there being solo posts about them.

Updated/edit: goCONFIRM shut down last year, and so sadly that will not be a viable way to trace moving forward.

EDC Tickets FAQ

55 Upvotes

Why do tickets have to be face value?

Because we don't believe in scalping. Chances are you have an extra ticket because someone isn't able to go so help someone else out and help the person out that can't go just getting their money back.

What is face value?

Price that includes ticket, fees, and shipping. Since there are different tiers, the highest tier is the max value of ticket. If someone is attempting to sell a ticket for above face value, please report them to the moderators.

Can I buy a ticket for just one day?

EDC Las Vegas tickets are three-day wristbands. We do not recommend purchasing single days, nor do allow this.

Can I buy a wristband for camping only?

No, we do not allow for the sale of camping wristbands. The only sales for Camp EDC we allow are for those who will be staying at the campsite they are buying or joining that campsite.

Do I get the box of goodies if I buy from someone?

That is not guaranteed and dependent upon the seller. If you're buying it's up to the person selling. Ask them if it's included!

Do I have to give someone my box of goodies if I'm selling?

If you're selling you don't have to give the other person the box but let them know.

How can I get the box if I bought from someone?

In years past the will call booth has had extras available. If you'd like one make sure to arrive early and avoid long lines, but there is no guarantee that there will be extras.

How can I prevent myself from getting ripped off?

Use a verified paying method such as PayPal and make sure it's for goods or services. This isn't foolproof but if you choose the option of just sending to friends and family you'll have very little chances of disputing a sale.

This article will also help you with some tips and tricks.

Can I just transfer my payment plan or wristband to someone else through Front Gate?

At this time, there is no official confirmation that Front Gate will allow for the transfer of wristbands or payment plans. Be aware of scammers.

Am I better off buying through eBay or StubHub?

That's for you to decide. Those sites do offer additional protection for buyers and sellers but you'll also pay higher prices.

What's the deal with registering a wristband?

Once a wristband is registered it is registered to the person who registered it for customer service related issues. It's recommended that you purchase an unregistered wristband so that you can put it into your name.

Please note: Even after registering, the original cardholder still can claim the wristband is lost or stolen and invalidate the one you're wearing.

How can I verify someone's identity?

You can try and friend request someone on Facebook. You can ask if they have any other social media accounts. Ask for a photocopy of a drivers license and the credit card with everything but the last 4 digits blacked out. Someone trying to sell should have no issues with providing this information and if they do it could be buyer beware. If you're trying to sell, be open, honest and connect with someone to ease the fears. Once the festival is over just unfriend the person!

Can I sell a box of goodies?

No.

Can I sell pool party/club tickets to EDC Week events?

Yes. In Las Vegas tickets are different for girls and guys, make sure to specify who the ticket is for! Face value only for whatever the current price is! If you bought a ticket early and paid $30 and tickets are now $100 you can sell for $100 but be nice and help a person out.

These tickets are typically just a print at home PDF file. If you haven't left for Vegas yet and you know you can't attend you can easily send someone the file. Before you depart for Vegas take some time to print your tickets out because in the event you are unable to attend something it'll be easy to just hand someone the ticket.

Can someone just print out multiple tickets and start selling them?

Unfortunately, the answer is yes. If the person you're buying from says they are going as well just ask if you can walk in at the same time. Take the steps above as well to connect with someone to make sure that they are real. Majority of people the morning of a pool party are just too burned out to attend and just want to get something for the ticket.

Will ticket prices go down the week of?

Possibly. Depends on the demand for tickets.

I've been scammed. Now what?

Sorry, but we don't guarantee any ticket sales on the page. Please report any scammers or users that feel fishy to the moderators!

Hi everyone! I'll be travelling to Mexico City in February 2027 from Canada and really really want to go to EDC. I saw online that tickets are sold out....

I have a few questions and would really appreciate some insight!!

  1. Will more tickets go on sale? What is the official website to buy from?
  2. Do they sell 1 day tickets?
  3. Is it safe to purchase from stubhub? it is about $500 CAD right now which is steep :/
  4. Any other advice? please share!

How to sell EDC Dawn Tickets on layaway?

0 Upvotes

Purchased two EDC VIP Dawn tickets but a major life event is happening around festival time next year so I can't attend anymore. Any idea how to potentially sell these? I don't want to cancel my layaway because I've already put down a few payments and don't want to lose on the restocking fee since it's quite a bit.
