jamie Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I made a post in a Rush Facebook group about getting a job to save up for tickets. Some random dude commented and offered to buy tickets for me. At first I thought he was joking until he messaged me saying that he's serious. Now of course I'm not gonna take his offer because it seems kinda sketchy, and I already applied for a job. Personally I want to work for the tickets so it'll be much more rewarding, and I can help my family get decent seats. Would you accept an online stranger's offer for Rush tickets? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tough question. I would probably check him out first. See if you have any friends in common, see if anybody really knows him in real life. If you have any weird feelings about it at all, walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yes - Sketchy = Creepy Yes - Work for the money for your own tickets = more rewarding No - Would not accept tickets = Unless it came from the band or a representative of the band. There was a songwriter from Canada who wrote, "You don't get something for nothing". Something to be said there, don't you think? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just too many things that could go wrong if i did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) From a stranger, f**k no.On the other hand, if the guy is Narpski, I would accept. ;)I was gonna post even before I read this kind post that it really blows that folks in general don't trust each other anymore. I am not saying in my youth that everyone did but it appears to be way worse today. This forum is a perfect example of the fact that there are folks still around that just want to be nice and helpful. Pretty refreshing to be honest...

Do what you feel in your heart Miss rushshirt... :)Hope her heart says no, to an online stranger.Hell, I saw Hitchcock yesterday and I learned, even not to talk to strangers on a train. :tsk: :smoke: Hey Narp, with your reputation on this board, I'd try to become a trusted reseller of Rush tickets, at least over summer. Seems like a good sideline. :D-13: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennb2112 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 A few years back..when I had money I offered to buy tickets for a member. He paid me back but didn't have money at the time. They were around $600. I didn't know him, he was some college student short on funds. Hope this didn't make me a "creepy" member. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iglehart Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 That is really wierd. If I was at the show and it was 10 minutes into the show and someone was tring to just dump lawn seats and offered, then yes, but now NO.I would think so sort of scam is going on.
