Last night at the UC, I met some seriously sweet people who had flown in from Toronto on a whim with enough cash in their pockets to buy tickets on the street. Even after I counseled them about counterfeits, they ended up getting swindled by a street hustler for $800 cash for four seats. After the deal, several friendly U2 folk inspected the tickets and confirmed them as 'blanks.' They ended up dropping several hundred more with a 'legit scalper" (what an oxymoron!!!).
How to smell this shitty maneuver. They look like hard tickets but the seller is such a serious scam-man. But if you inspect closely, paper quality and type fonts *are not* the same as the real tickets that *everyone* else has!! With these peoople, you have to wonder where they get their tickets, except from an ink-jet printer and some kind of fake jpeg file.
