Hodgson!! Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'm about to buy a pair of tickets to the flyers game off of craigslist but I'm a little big paranoid.. Has anyone ever been scammed buying tickets off Craigslist? And is there a way to confirm if the ticket is real or a place we can go to at Rogers Arena where they can check?

HowYaDrouin Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've only ever bought my tickets off Craigslist, and i've never had an issue (Canucks, Whitecaps, etc.) It always helps to meet people at their house, because if they are fake, it's pretty easy to find them and confront them about it.

Hodgson!! Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Why not try stubhub instead? Stubhub tickets are in USD and USD to CAD ratio is cray rn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've bought many tickets off of Craigslist without issue. I stay away from printed tickets, hard copy only. I try to only meet at their house or place of work and ask to see a receipt and ID. You can always ask them to meet at a ticketmaster to verify the tickets.

This and or you can take a photo of their licence. Make sure the photo matches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 You can't do anything I could sell you authentic tickets go onto the computer and cancel those tickets there is really no way to guarantee you won't get scammed. You can use NHL ticket exchange but that site does not let season ticket holders list the tickets for less than 117.50 so that is the absolute cheapest you can get them on the NHL official site.

Steen Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've had no problems buying tickets on CL, even pretty expensive playoff tickets from a couple years ago. Just when you meet them, see some ID, and trust your gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensive Threat Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I buy off of stubhub, craigslist, Ebay, from scalpers on the street, wherever a decent price or the tickets I want can be found ( the "tickets I want" and "decent price" rarely seem to happen together) For Canucks, Seahawks, Mariners etc. Never been scammed. Am I just lucky or are current anti counterfeit ticket measures effective? I dont think Im lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Check StubHub like maybe 10 or 20 minutes after puck drop. I got into the Jets game in January after the end of the 1st Period and got it on StubHub for $18. Turned out to be a pretty good game to attend too.

peaches5 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I just got a pair of tickets off there for 53 each Yea I was referring to my own tickets their ticketmaster price is 138 (at the cheapest - lowerbowl) and I can't list for under 117.50. The tickets also get taken down 2 hours before puck drop so you can't just buy them last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
