Good experience w/ MSG scalpers from shows?

Morning all... I was able to score a ticket to last nights show from 10C member and I'm still w/o tickets for tonight's show. Craigslist is full of scammers so I'm wondering if anyone had a POSITIVE experience w/ any of the scalpers out front of MSG. Last option is buying from them despite the risk, but wanted to get some thoughts or know if anyone bought tickets last night from them. THANKS!

    Don't do it. Bite the bullet and go with stubhub

    Assuming you are close to MSG and have time I'd go get in the ticket drop release line. There were a decent amount of tickets released last night throughout the day. Not a ton but decent amount. I know some even got section 118.

    It's like hours in that line right? Although I think the ticket office opens at 10am today. Anyone out there in line?

    You can grab stubhub pretty close to showtime. There's a staples a block away if u need to print them. Keep refreshing the page. Reasonable stuff pops up but it's usually gone fast. Stay away from the garbage outside. Usually fakes. Not worth the risk.

    can always buy a shitty stubhub seat and then offer a guy outside $10 for a fake ticket for a 100 level. Use the real one to get in the building and the fake one to get into a better section

    Watch out with Stubhub, I was refreshing last night and they get removed at 7:30. I was hoping to pick up some cheaper tickets right before the show, I didn't :(.
