[quote="sheerheartattack"]The problem is, I'm also sure there are a lot of people who will thus go on standby, looking for these people. I advise you make arrangements beforehand, ESPECIALLY if you're travelling a long distance.[/quote]

didn't think of that

[quote="skoolyardpuck"]i know this is off the subject, but overburn,
do you ever go to the westchester county fair? I remember going there a few times when i was a kid. Ah the autistic clowns, the paryplegic farm animals, the boring ass hay rides...

Those days made me the man i am today.[/quote]

well, actually, I've never heard of westchester. [url=http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=rochester%20ny%20to%20westchester%20ny&ll=41.885921,-74.882812&spn=3.876726,7.492676&om=1&sa=N&tab=wl]google maps[/url] says its rather far away from rochester.

Why don't you just use his camera?

Anyway, as an almost-completely unrelated sidenote to Overburn, the University of Rochester (saying this because he lives in Rochester) was one of the schools I applied to. I was actually given a lot of money to go, but with college costs these days, I had to go with the full ride.

But it's really beautiful up there, but the torturous winters kind of scared me.

he has a better angle + position for pictures (aka not in the crowd)

and im a short asian kid who will try to get the front, anything of value could get broken...but yeh ill be taking a few too if i can

I have 1 maybe 2 extra tickets, $25 a piece. I can mail it to you before the show, too.

they weren't originally $25. :/

But apparently they are now.

I'm probably going to be put on the guest list, as is one of my friends so I may have 1-2 tickets to sell. It's not for sure so don't blame me if you go all the way for nothing.

:sigh:

I think deep down we all knew this shit would happen.

It'll be even worse next year.

Excuse me for trying to recoup the money I already spent on the 6 tickets I already bought, plus the $20+ I had to pay in service charges. I already have to take 2 days less pay at my job and spend over $100 to get to New York. And I don't work for Ticketweb either, so it's really not my responsibility to provide tickets in the first place; I'm going to go out of my way to get a ticket to someone who needs it.
Taking that into account, I think $25 is a pretty good deal to ensure that you have access to a concert before you travel X amount of hours to get there. So please refrain from giving me any shit about it, thanks.

Technically, you also need to get rid of the tickets as well - unless you were planning on an expensive bon fire. So it's not really like you're "going out of your way."

Anyway, I don't think that $25 is a bad deal (rather, it's a great deal/opportunity), but the thing is that I don't think it's the nicest thing to do to a fellow pillows fan.

All in all, I don't really blame him.

of course you can charge whatever you want as long as someone is willing to pay for it, and $25 isn't that ridiculous (tickets were ~$18 after fees, for reference). but look at it another way- the person buying the ticket from you is doing YOU a favor (assuming it's the case you're selling the tickets because a friend couldn't make it).

while i understand your intent may not be to simply profit off your fellow fans, it's hard to be sympathetic considering many fans can't afford to get to a show at all.

and i'm at least hoping that it doesn't get out of hand in general.

Oh, by the way, I've got extras too; only $250 each.

sold out already?

Well that's great, after I finalize my plans and check for tix, they are gone. If anyone has 2-3 tickets I'd gladly buy them for a reasonable price. I can't believe I didn't order my ticket earlier...

I'll give you $30 if you save me a ticket xtsquintx
