Buying for TOTD Seattle N1 off Secondary Market

Anyone else considering doing this? I would hate to even think about it because the markup really is unbelievable but at this point that might be the only way to go.

I have my flight and hotel out to Seattle in hand but unfortunately I can't get a hold of a single.

So I'm thinking of of pulling the trigger on this but I noticed the markup for a single is way worse than two tix together. That said, would anyone be interested in splitting a pair for the Sunday night show, might save $200 that way...

    Word of advice:

    See if the seller will take money once you two get inside, or at least accompany you to the gate. Two ideas:

    1) "Seller, will you come with me to the gate? As soon as the ticket is verified, I will pay you and go in."
    --- Should the ticket be fake, you can easily point the guy out to event staff.

    2) "Seller, will you accept my money once we are both inside?"
    -- Any true fan with a real ticket won't have any issues with this.

    If they say yes to either of these, you know they're a legit seller. There are too many scalpers selling fake tickets, especially for big shows. You can almost guarantee the counterfeits will be out in force.

    I'm in the same boat - desperately looking for a pair to Seattle N1. We have our flights from NY and hotel in Seattle booked and it just seems like prices on the secondary market are going up and up. I really don't know what I'm going to do.

    The prices for a pair are much cheaper than for a single. Still crazy expensive but when you look at the difference it's pretty big. Unfortunately I only need a single so I feel like I'm stuck.
