Agree with all those comments... but again, obviously a lesson was learned by the OP. I think maybe sometimes 10c members are lulled into over-trusting people who say they are 10c members because usually our experiences are so positive - for the most part it's a fucking love-fest, lol.

Was he even a 10c member? OP just said a fellow fan. I mean he could of at least got a forum name.

Yea, something doesn't sound quite right.

Yeah, if anyone asks for money before the day of the show always say no, since the person has to pick them up at will call, so there is NO reason for them to want that unless they are ripping you off.

I actually disagree with this. I've had extra non-10c tix to shows before but I never confirm until I have payment. I guess it just depends on both parties, but if I can give credentials, like my eBay ID, personal email and phone number, or in PJ's case, the fact that I have over 3,000 posts on here, that should buy some goodwill.

Still curious how the OP made payment.

The problem is you can still burn the buyer if it's too far before the show. Email, phone number, ebay Id doesn't do anything to ensure the buyer gets the tickets, nor that they can recoup the money afterwards. As I'm sure you know, PayPal claims can ony be filed for 45 days, so if you pay too far in advance you lose any formal system to get your money back if the seller doesn't come through on the day of the show. Like you said, it's up to both parties, but I'd never pay before 45 days from the show date, or expect a buyer to.

(After writing all this I see that you and PJ Soul already resolved this, but eff it, I'm still putting in my peanut gallery two cents. )

Let's hold off on rushing to call the guy a liar. Looks like he's been on here for 15 years and hardly ever posts. Maybe he really isn't savvy on the ins and outs, maybe he is full of shit. It is a weird story that doesn't make sense, but that is one hell of a long con. Hopefully dude is rocking out at the show and can clear it all up in the future to put all of our minds at ease, lol.

PJ_Soul

Yeah, not sure where the liar idea comes from. What would be the point of him making this up??

I've always loved this expression (but no one has ever gotten what I meant).

It doesn't really have anything to do with the board, it was done through craigslist. Its just common sense its like sending somebody you've never met in Nigeria money through western union. Cmon who gives anybody a handful of money with nothing in return.

No, I get that it doesn't make sense. I was just trying to figure out what the op's motivation would be to come on here and post this after fifteen years if it wasn't true. Like he's been lying in the weeds all that time, waiting for the perfect time to strike with some crazy story?

My buddy bought a floor ticket to NIN on Craigslist.

Paper ticket. Paid cash a few days before the show.

I questioned the wisdom of this. He replied that if it was a scam... it was only money and he'd look for another ticket at the show.

To all the people calling this guy out for a 'potential' ruse... do you always assume the worst of people? The guy came on here and vented... and people shit all over him because of their suspicions.

If he did make up a story... then that's his bad. Assuming the worst of him... that's your bad.

I'm not assuming anything bad, but if it really did happen its kinda hard to feel sorry for someone who just hands over money to someone he's never met. You're friend got a ticket, this guy got nothing.
I hope it works out for OP.

You have to admit, there wasn't exactly an outpouring of support for the guy.

Ultimately, he made an error. He wasn't asking for a freebie. He was asking for a ticket at face which is the only price this forum permits.

I don't know the guy. I just don't like the cold attitudes towards the guy. It's like everybody forgot their manners.

Feel for the author of this post. The lack of comments to defend himself suggests to me that he got tickets to the show. To come out of a show all pumped up and excited only to be deflated by all this negativity aimed in his direction is wrong. I have bought plenty of items off here and other sites from people i dont know. Often paid as gift to as a favour to the seller which I think may negate any disputes if I didnt get the item. Good luck to spintheblack79. Hope you got your tickets and had an awesome time at the show.

never seen a show where you can't get 2 singles (Ten Club reserved) and then trade the better seat to the person with the lower number so they get a better seat but you still end up with a good pair of seats, not every show can you get GA, and really on this site you never have to pay over face value since it is against the rules, and if you had been patient and did a thread on Given To Fly titled: looking for 1 GA, I have no doubt you could of scored 2 GA's, since GA are unassigned, you still get to be together, I will never buy tickets outside of the Ten Club, because membership has it's advantages

Who the fuck uses craigslist to buy tix to ANYTHING? Sooooo many second markets with guarantees or just use THIS place. Common sense seems to be missing when it comes to pj, some fucken drug this band is.
