10c scalper: Wants $600 for EV solo!!

edited July 2008 in The Porch
I just responded to a craigslist ad for EV solo tix here in Boston. The dude responded that he 10c seats and I wouldnt be able to get them til he picks them up (obviously). Anyway he says he wants 600-700 for the pair. I feel I have 3 options: 1. Report him to 10c
2. post his email address on this borad so we can spam the shit out of it.
3. Accept his offer and just beat the shit out of him after I get the tix.

Please advise. In all serious, what does anyone think would be the mostt effective?

UPDATE: I emailed the 10c, letting them know what info I had and said if they want it I'll pass it on. I will post updates that may or may not arise.

    Why not do all 3!!

    I'd love to see a 10c sting operation and have it captured on youtube. Epic.

    #1.

    #2 is kind of immature.

    If 10c revokes his membership or something, then I move up :D

    Edit: Also, maybe 10c could take those tickets from him and sell them to you instead for reporting him? I don't know, just a thought.

    Report him if you must, but these things are inevitable.

    Sending out his email is stupid

    #1 - do it right now. That's not spreading the jam....on the toast.

    Well, I would first tell him to sell them for a reasonable price, take the ad down, or you're reporting him.

    Just make sure that, before you report him, he has given out enough information that would enable the 10C to identify him.

    I'd say just report him. Believe it or not, you don't have to take a Pearl Jam quiz before they give you a 10C membership, so a lot of non-fans just sign up to get cheaper/better tickets so they can re-sell them. I agree, it's BS, but the best thing you can do is just get him kicked out of the club.

    The problem with that, is he might take the ad down, but he'll find another way to do it, and he'll still have the ability to use his 10c membership in the future. I think BeerBaron's suggestion is the best, in getting enough info. from the guy so he can be identified.

    #4. burn his house down.

    seriously though, #1 sounds good. i would like to see if 10c really follows through on situations such as these.

    And after all that, and he gets his slap on the wrist?

    As of right now the craiglists ad has no price. But I have the email with him saying he wants 600-700, his email address (obviously) and his first name on the email signature. Is that enough? The email address alone should be, but im sure he isnt stupid and might have more than 1.
  • ZanneZanne Posts: 899
    Report him. The 10C can reissue his tix, maybe to you(?) and kick him out of the fan club. Certain things can be overlooked around these parts, but scalping your 10C tix is just not cool. I know several of us give ours away at shows... one of the best feelings on earth.

    As an aside.. Is there any chance the guy and his son from the Virginia Beach show that got a free upgrade from lawn to seats posts here? I'd like to know how you two enjoyed that show. Peace and Love.

    Email address may not be the one he uses for 10c....just a thought.
