I spoke to the dude numerous times and scared into him giving my money back (he was the worst scammer ever)

I run into a similar problem with my heroin addiction.

Western Union is the worst they don't require any I>D> and will not confirm delivery

Do not buy tickets from anyone that you cannot do a person by person exchange or a process you are comfortable with.

I posted a request for LSU tix and got an email and later a call from a guy who wanted me to pay using Western Union. He wanted the deal done immediately. I was not comfortable and bailed on the deal. I am almost sure it was a scam.

I later bought my LSU/ Wash tickets from Stub Hub with no issues.

I never understood why Chicken allows ppl to scalp tickets on this site. I can see ppl wanting to atleast get the percentage of their tradition fund with the ticket price but beyond that is scalping. last time I looked scalping was illegal in louisiana.

This is from 2006, but I think the only thing that has changed is that you are allowed to ask for face + any donation you made to acquire the ticket (e.g. Tradition Fund or TAF fee):

quote:

Louisiana • Prohibits ticket scalping except through the Internet • Allows tickets sold through an Internet website that meets the following criteria to resell tickets without price limits o Website must be authorized by original seller and venue o Must guarantee full refund if the event is canceled, the purchaser is denied admission through no fault of his own, or the ticket is not delivered as promised and this results in an inability to attend the event o Website must disclose its guarantees (La. Rev. Stat. § 4: 1)

I just wanted every one to know that the scammer has contacted someone as recently as Friday 8/21. He is still lurking around here. Be careful.

I have bought and sold tickets numerous times on here over the years without meeting face to face and have never had a problem. I live just outside of Memphis,TN.

Ditto. I live in Denver. There are 3-4 games a year I won't be able to make. And usually 1 game a year I'm looking for tickets. I generally use PayPal or meet in person if the timing works out. Haven't been burned yet.

several times posters have tried to scam me, but on the whole, 99% of the tigerdroppings posters are honest hard working people who like to help out other tiger fans, a guy bought 4 of my tckets to a game in 2007, my seat was in the row
in front of the seats, after the game he called and said that I had sold him fake ticket{my tickets came from the ticket office} and he wanted his money back. when I told him that I had sat in the seat in front of the ones sold and that his friends sat in the seats until halftime, because the game was a runaway, he hung up and was never heard from again, yes, he had paid the price printed on the ticket.

how many people do you think the federal gov. catch each year, remember this is the same gov that answers to O BAMA
