A stranger not wanting to maximize profit and any hesitation with my terms would be big red flags.
you just never know.
Came across another person on Metallica forums, he had a 2 ticket travel package for the weekend I wanted. He bought these, but someone else in his group got better tickets, so he wanted to offload these, and not wanting to make profit. He's still staying at the same hotel, which thwarted any concerns of checking in.
He listed it on cashortrade.org at face value. Seller has to approve the purchase, it's not like ebay or stubhub where anyone can snag it.
A week later, and I have the vibee email confirmation with the name change showing me, and the experience is in My vibee account. I also reached out to vibee myself, through text # on their website, and confirmed this transfer.
cashortrade.org won't release funds to seller until 3-5 days after event for a travel package, so while they've charged my card, it's in escrow until then.
I didn't know about this website, but it's face value sales only, and fully protected for buyer and seller using escrow to hold funds/tickets until both parties are satisfied. Great way for two people who agree ahead of time to buy/sell, but want to use a platform to do it. The seller has to approve the buy, the buyer simply 'requests' to purchase.
On stubhub, a pair of tickets in the 400s all the way to the side are going for $2500 or more, w/o the hotel.
I paid $2700 for not just two tickets in the FRONT row in 406 which is the MIDDLE section, but I also have 3 night stay at Virgin hotel, which is listed for about $1300. This seller paid ~$2500 back in march.
So tickets are effectively $350 per person per night.
Metallica forums FTW.
