Buying PJ Tix from Craigslist

Anyone ever have any problems buying tickets off craigslist. My Cousin and his gf are coming in from California the week of the shows at MSG. He just turned 18 and is slowly getting into rock music, and is discovering PJ music. I have tix for night 1+2, and he has shown interest in going with his gf.

I'm looking to get him in the 300's(anything except behind stage) and Craigslist has some reasonable prices.

I've never bought anything from there, is it secure? or should I cough over a few extra dollars through brokers. Like I said he turned 18, I dont get to see him often, and would like to surprise with B-Day gift

Thanks

    Craig's list sucks a big one but I must say that sitting behind the stage isn't as bad as it sounds. I suppose that maybe it would suck if it was your first PJ show though. I was behind the stage at Reading '04 and it was pretty sweet.

    I love rear stage sitting.
    Interesting vantage point, seeing alot of what the band sees.

    as far as Craigslist- theres little protection there-.
