Title: Fake Tickets - T5
Post by: subinai on Oct 14, 2010, 11:25 PM
I'm hearing some rumors about fake tickets on craigslist for the 5 night run. I'm seeing crazy prices for Z and EU. I got a Z ticket off of craigslist for my girlfriend today - face value. seller seemed okay. the ticket looks legit next to mine.... but i'm just skeptical. any advice on spotting fakes? anyway it could be verified before the show?

I've been in NYC for the past week having a blast just relaxing and meeting women while you people are nervous about having authentic tickets. LOL.

Maybe its been outdated, but ive always use the lighter trick. put a lighter under the non scan side of a ticket, not close enough to burn it but make a mark. If it leaves a black dot, its legit. If it turns some other color, Fugazi!

...somebodyyyy stole, stole, stole, my lighter

You can still do the scratch and lighter test. Don't stress it too much.  Also this hacksaw dude sounds like a total tool.

there's an ap for that.

i have one on my droid called "barcode scanner" (pretty sure there's one for iPhone too).  you can scan anything w/ a barcode.  never used it to verify a concert ticket, but maybe that'd work?

+1 Big5. It wouldn't bother me one bit if it was just those of us on the roll call thread, but I'm sure the band would feel differently. ;)

I thought ISM was sold out, but obviously not. :o

That's why this event should have been in the Ville.  I think all shows would have sold out long ago here.  Seems the Jacket is doing more for NY than NY is doing for the Jacket.  Could have done EU and Z in Ny.  Then came home and performed the oldies.  People in Ny obviously don't understand how good TTF and AtDawn will be with a 10 year old Jacket.

TM still has single tix available for ISM as of about 1/2 hour ago. I thought it was sold out too, so I went and checked TM, and sure enough tix still available. :o

Shush your mouth. People who dont live in NYC or Louisville dont want to travel to 2 different places to see these shows. Also, I would much rather spend my week of vacation in NYC, not Louisville.

There are often tickets released close to the shows.  I've gotten great seats this year for Mule and KOL on day of or day before.  Often they are held back for friends, record company etc and later released.

I've done this many times too. Some of the best seats I've ever gotten were scored on the day of, or day before.

I hope it's just a matter of releasing held back tix, and not T5 trying to squeeze even more people into an already crowded venue.

If they are held back tix, hopefully everyone still looking for Z and EU will get a similar release of tix.

this makes sense. As a Louisvillian, I am super bummed that I don't have enough/make enough money to travel to T5, so obviously i would LOVE if it were down the street from my house. However, 2 cities would be dumb, AND NYC is more appealing to out of towners and even out of country-ers. Though Lou would probably be way cheaper on every one. I also agree that Louisville would've sold out already.

To the OP:

You can call ticketmaster and give them your bar code.  They can tell you whether that bar code is legit (ticket #, section/row, ect..).

Give it a go.  

However, in an all GA event, you may have one in a 100 tickets with the same barcode and whoever gets in first is in then 99 people are screwed.

But it might all be good at the same time.

call TM though.
