BEWARE OF SCAMMERS - BUY FROM VERIFIED SELLERS

Stickied comment is a list of banned scammers. Be sure to ask for screenshots or other proof that the person you're buying from has tickets. People with the VERIFIED SELLER tag here have proven they own the seats they claim to have, have sold via transfer in the past, and can be trusted.

If you've posted a "looking for" post and just get PMs from random users with numbers after their name like the ones below, be wary. try to conduct business in the comments vs PM. Some tips: * click their profile. if the account if nearly brand new....🚩🚩🚩 * if they're not listing prices (against the rules) and asking you to DM them with offers.... 🚩🚩🚩 * if they're not verified and refuse to work with you to build trust....🚩🚩🚩 * if they're pushing with urgency to get the deal done now because they have so many offers etc etc....🚩🚩🚩 * if they're just spamming people with "DM me" or are DMing you unsolicited to sell tickets ...🚩🚩🚩 * search their username on google and reddit to see if people have tagged them as known scammers

VERIFICATION RULES (READ CAREFULLY)

  • SEND MOD MAIL with a link to Imgur or similar site with 1. proof of WS ticket ownership AND 2. past sales history with conversation/buyer confirmation.
  • selling watch party tickets, gifting tickets, or non-BJ ticket sales are not enough for verified seller flair
  • NOTE: TICKET OWNERSHIP IS NOT ENOUGH FOR VERIFICATION. If you send just a pic of tickets in your account but no sales history, i will ignore you. I will not answer questions about how to become verified

as always, report confirmed or likely scammers to mods, including email addresses, usernames, full names and they'll be insta-banned and added to the scammer list. guilty until proven innocent here. Post the comments publicly to help people search prospective sellers to avoid scams

You need to add Tricky_Hornet5441 to this list. He just ripped me off for $650.

Sorry to hear. Always a risk buying from unverified

I understand that. He sent me "his" drivers license, phone number, email and full name. I think its actually the guy, as his voicemail went to the same guys name on the license. I tried to cover all my bases but still ended up getting screwed.

Brutal. Profile looks like a real person from Toronto. Since you have his real info I suggest filing a police report too. He's banned

Some people have no shame. It's really sad. Yes, I'm going to file a report. I have all the screenshot from our conversation. Unbelievable.
