I Didn't Get Stabbed

I had my first Craigslist purchasing experience last night. I bought two obviously counterfeited Packer-49er tickets from some dude. I went to his house in G.B., and paid straight cash homey. I brought my wife along as a witness in the likelihood that not only was I being sold fake tickets, but that said "seller" was going to rob and stab me.



I felt like I was going to buy crack or something when I hopped in the car and stopped at the ATM to withdraw $140. It honestly felt highly illegal, and may have been. I'm not sure how the whole scalping thing actually works. The guy had a "website" and claimed to have charged me "sales tax". I dunno, whatever, it cost me $67.50 each for $59 face value tickets. Which is a fucking bargain. Especially on a Monday.



Also, I nearly got screwed by StubHub earlier in the day by buying tickets that weren't next to each other. It was not made clear at all until I was one click away from having my card charged. Fucking assholes.



Buying tip: Try to buy from some shady character with a mustache and Packer themed Hawaiian shirts so you can avoid the ridiculous $15 "service fees".



But seriously, they looked legit. So I'm going to go watch the Pack turn into the opposite of last week again. All of this is like the one advantage to living in Green Bay, and makes it all worth it.
