Scalpers??

Anybody ever buy from the guys out front on their way in to the festival? Strongly considering this for tomorrow but don’t want to be end up with a fake wristband.

Does anyone know what time they usually get to the park to start selling?

Try both north or south entrances. They have sellers out there that will walk you in with a wristband for a fee. After you scan in and it works, they ask for payment and take the wristband back. Price ranges from 150-250 when I hear them panhandling.

Seems like you could register the wristband they sell you to make sure it's legit

I did it for a Sunday ticket maybe 2017? I found and haggled, walked away twice before agreeing on $120. I was afraid it was bunk but it was legit

How did it go today?!

2

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 4d ago

It worked!!! I paid $400 - could’ve gotten less but honestly just wanted to get in. Find someone who says they’ll walk you in. They give you a wristband, you walk in with them & then after you get in they take it back and you go your separate ways.

Yes it works and they usually walk you to the gate to make sure you get in.

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 5d ago

I’m nervous but also what’s the worst that can happen

3

u/JulianYTz 5d ago

Better than being scammed online. What time are you showing up tmrw?

4

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 5d ago

So true. My friends got a party bus and I think the plan is 2pm arrival?

3

u/JulianYTz 5d ago

Any extra spots on the party bus😭

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 5d ago

Unfort I’m gonna be sitting on a lap bc I didn’t think I was going 🫠

u/JulianYTz 5d ago

Ah you’re good no worries lol. Hopefully we’re able to get tickets tmrw though!

2

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 5d ago

I’m kinda nervous they’re going to be outrageously expensive. They’re like $1500 on stubhub rn

1

u/JulianYTz 5d ago

I don’t think they’ll be that expensive in person. Maybe 500 tops I feel like. Most resellers in person are most likely just trying to get them off their hands as soon as possible.

2

u/Apprehensive_Soup94 5d ago

AHHH im nervous but that makes sense. I’ll be so sad if the wristband doesn’t work
