never happened to me before...
this morning my friend bailed on me. many of you saw my post offering a ticket for face today.
someone emailed me and said they'd take it.
they even sent me their address (including apt #), phone number and a picture of them so i'd recognize them...
AND THEN DIDN'T SHOW UP...or answer my calls/texts. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS NIGHT COST ME $180.
That being said...I sat 5th row and it was AWESOME! Had a great time and hope that the loser who dicked me over fell into a hole and that would be the only reason why he didn't have the balls to at least call me so I could've sold the ticket instead of standing there waiting...
Sorry for this rant, I'm really not one to complain, but shit like this just ain't cool....

i've done 8 trades/sales from the boards and this was first bad apple. i know it happens, just want the guy to know it wasn't cool.
whatEVs, i'm over it...show was great...5th row definitely helped, not gonna lie
Still doesn't explain why the guy didn't call him or even pm him on the board....or at the very least left a note in the lobby of his apartment for this guy to find.
And why didn't you eventually give up and sell the ticket to someone else? I'd have called one last time ... "If you don't show up in 15 minutes, I'm selling to someone else" ... then SELL IT.
I waited in line for four hours for a ticket drop in LA, only to come up empty. Then, checked the remaining scalpers ... who all wanted $300 for a single. I would have killed to find someone selling for face at the venue.
I understand you were just trying to be cool and wait for this no-show ... but fuck ... at some point you have to give up the ghost and sell it to someone else.
for the least they could possibly do

I agree with whoever said, wait for the explanation. Odds are you did get screwed by unfortunate things do happen. Just wait a day to judge.
Glad you had a good time at the show.
wait a sec....what's the $180? please don't tell me that was the price of one ticket.

its ok to rant about this, depending on the situation you have every right to be pissed. you juts better hope like buddies mom didnt die or something then youll fell like an asshole.
work = work + 1;
sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
else if (work >= 0) {
reality.equals(false);
work = work +1;
}system("pause");
return 0;}
then the OP only got "screwed" out of $90.
wasn't there anyone looking for a ticket outside before the show? i've had the same thing happen to me (friend was supposed to meet me outside the venue before a bob dylan show and never showed up). i waited as long as i thought was necessary then put the extra in the air and said "i have one for face value!" the ticket was gone within 20 seconds.
