    ive actually found some good deals on craigslist. who's idea was that again? ive never bought anything there, but i would assume cash in hand plus local pick up is the way to go. sent out a few emails but with little response.

    that was me. yeah---cash is the way to go. meet in a public place & make the deal.

    been replying to a number of listings in austin. no dice yet. some good deals to be found. tons of scalpers as well though.


    try posting an ad as well. i'd also try the surrounding areas pages. i know that someone was selling tickets on the Waco page a few weeks back. maybe try Dallas as well?

    I guess so, yeah. I've heard of that happening, though not at ACL specifically. That said, I've bought and sold tickets through craigslist for years, and never really had a bad experience. Most people are pretty honest.

    If you buy along Barton Springs outside the gates, you could always have the person walk through the gates with you so that if the tickets are bogus, at least you'll know before s/he gets away! :mrgreen:

    Best of luck, I'll keep my ears open for extras for you!

    I've only "bought" off of Craigslist once. Like three weeks ago a guy supposedly had two passes that he was going to let me have at 150 a piece. He wanted me to use Greendot, which I did. I didn't feel comftorable because I could not find a seller history like on Ebay. Anyways, I negotiated with him until I came up with what I thought was a fair deal. I was going to pay for one pass and he was going to mail it, if everything went ok we would do the same for the second. Needless to say, he hussled me. I know it's not always like this, but I am VERY reluctant to try Craigslist again. I live in a smaller city, so there really weren't any local sellers that I could do a face to face transaction with.


    Luckily though, a good PJer (Rachel-Raquel) sold me a pass through this board! I still need another though, if someone has an extra.

    ALWAYS use PayPal. You can get your money back if it's a scam.

    Man I didn't see this post so I just created a separate request. +1 here looking for Sunday single day. Guess I'll also try Craigs List and face to face exchange if that's an option as I am here in Austin. Just trying to add myself to the list of ISO. Thanks.

    So what is the deal with the possible ACL TV simulcast on Saturday night at the auditorium? Is that still happening or what?

    I sent an email to ACL this morning. I'll let everyone know what they say.

    There was a separate thread about this too, but no confirmation there either.

    NO! some of the security guards check bags but usually if you hold one pocket open they don't look in the smaller ones. i've never been patted down either. we bring in liquor and just buy mixers.

    i know someone that works there and it's still happening. it's at hogg auditorium. keep checking the acl blog for info on the space available ticket drawing. they did the same thing for DMB.

    I made the mistake of getting really drunk at the last TX PJ show in 03 and I barely remember it. Not this time though, on Sunday I'll be stone sober.
