Megs Megs Megs...don't take it so personally.  These threads take on a life of their own after two or three posts sometimes and whatever follows has little or nothing to do with the original post/poster.
 
 I'm sure everyone feels for you and is sorry you didn't get to go to yoru show.

Chaz. Thanks. This is all well and good. But there are certain times when you don't want to eff with the ladies, and this is one of those times. Like I said, I heart mocking, I do it all the time. But I want my damn tickets.

If you wanted "your damn tickets" so bad, why did you let the show sell out, forcing you to turn to purchasing them from such a shady source?

 Because, dearest Golfer, I was broke. And then I went out of town over 4th of July weekend. When I left, the show hadn't sold out yet. So yeah, it's my fault for not buying them sooner. But I've bought tickets to sold-out shows before, and never had this happen to me. Hence my rage.

Financial tip: If you're living from paycheck to paycheck, it's probably not a good idea to spend your money on concert tickets. Build up your savings account, in case you lose your job or suffer some other catastrophe.

I do appreciate the concern, Rhett, but it's neither here nor there. My whole point with this post was to discourage people from selling tickets out from under potential buyers. I am also appalled because this person found me on the forum, and I've never had problems with forum folk before.

Sadly, there are a lot of dishonest, underhanded people out there. Generally, being a member of an internet chatboard automatically makes someone a better human being, but unfortunately, you ran into an exception to that rule.
 
    The silver lining of course is that you're that much further from financial ruin and homeless. Comforting, aint it? Also, look at it this way...it was just one concert...the wound will sting for the moment, but will soon be forgotten.

You may not be "rock'n roll" but you are certainly cliched.  Can we still shoot you?

So Megs, has this show occurred? You can still go try and get a ticket outside the venue.
 The worst is: "It's not you it's me." No, wait, sorry, I meant, "Sorry, I no longer can sell you the tickets. I forgot a friend of mine put these tickets on eBay and they sold."  :p  
 What can you do? I've been there and it's frustrating. Tough to change someone w/ no etiquette.
 Be provactive and find another person or method to get your tickets.
