    10C tickets can only be picked up the day of the show by the person who ordered/paid for them, zero exceptions.... Any GA tickets for sale right now would be fakes...or potentially a jack ass 10C member willing to go pick them up the day of the show and then hand them over...and if that's the case I'd personally turn them in so they can fry.

    This is not true. Any 10club GA tickets for sale now are indeed fake, however as much as 10club keeps telling us that GA is only for 10club its not true. Corporate dollars run Chicago/Wrigley and there are GA tickets out there right now......

    Ok first hint the tix in the OP's post are fake...the jackass couldn't even be bothered to put the NAME OF THE BAND on the tix.

    For the second set of tix posted...clearly they are fake. What's missing? Well lets start with the price, and the taxes/inconvenience charges - all missing. I see a small price along the very bottom but the price would also be written on the side of the tix where the section/row/seat number appear and it's blank. Regular TM tix also have product number on them someplace. Perhaps it's the angle those pics were taken but I don't see that on there either. It may be at the bottom really small there, but that's also not where it usually appears.

    I know all of this because I'm an usher at the ACC and I've had to deal with fake tix before.
    I had a guy force tix to the Harlem Globetrotters game. Dude was kicked out and banned from ever buying tix for ACC shows again.


    the name is on there... it's tiny and not centered

    Yes. They will be perforated in the normal place, in case the scanning system breaks, but yeah, not on the top.

    Why people resort to fakery? Hello, honest job, anyone?

    What about the fact these GA tickets are for row 6 seat 21?


    That's actually not a sign of a fake. All GA tickets have a row and seat number written on them. It confuses a lot of people. I've had people come to shows with GA tickets and be annoyed when they don't have an actual seat.
    From my undestanding that information is on there because the system needs it there to process the order - something to do with keeping track of their inventory and how much they've sold or something.

    Lost in Ohio - great point on the large GA Field. I noticed that too but since I've never been to Wrigley I dont know what their GA tix look like.

    Pillowpants you have better eyes than me. I didn't see Pearl Jam anywhere on the OP's set of tix.

    I went to take another look at the OP's post and Craigslist has removed it.

    Funny they remove warnings but leave fake tickets up. Hypocrites. Or has the original set been removed too?

    They definitely took down the post...which is complete BS. I may just keep putting it up. The guy actually text me last night. I am not sure if it was meant for me, but this is exactly how it was typed...."Wat yo uglass doin". My guess is either the dude was really screwed up or it just a high school drop out. I say drop out...when I talked with him he kind of sounded like a dead beat. Should have met up with this cat and laid a good beating on him and drag his ass to police.
