Don’t Get Suckered by a Scalper | Hacking the System


first off make sure that buying scalped
tickets is legal in your city or state
otherwise you risk getting a costly fine
instead of a front row seat next only
negotiate in a safe public well-lit area
I spot a scalper with tickets to sell
and have already got an edge the
concerts about to start so in just a few
hours his tickets won’t be worth the
paper they’re printed on by waiting
until the last minute I have the upper
hand hey boss you got one from the
center which section section 36 it’s
pretty far from front and center banner
but always have a copy of the seating
chart it’s the only way to know what
you’re buying
section 36 this is front antenna tripod
hey did you see that he tried to place
the ticket in my hand this is a popular
sales tactic touching an item creates a
psychological connection between the
potential buyer and the object time to
use his own tricks against him I got 60
bucks right now $60 cash money and we’re
done by showing you my cash I’ve turned
the tables on him now that he sees my
money’s there for the taking he’s much
more likely to take my offer don’t hand
him your money but show him you’re ready
to make a deal what he doesn’t know is
that I still have another $40 in my
other pocket
that means $60 guys you know you’ve got
to pay 100 bucks
if you don’t like the price you’re
getting don’t be afraid to walk away all
right well that didn’t work
luckily I have another plan so how do
you tell if you have a fake ticket well
first of all the safest way is to buy it
from a legitimate source but if you’re
not in that situation look at the back
if your tickets blank on the back it’s
almost certainly a fake real tickets
have advertisements on the back
second of all identified the way that
it’s been printed if it was printed on
an inkjet printer if that ink smears
it’s almost certainly a fake they might
have used their color laser printer in
which case you could take a penny and
scratch it on the side if the ink comes
off again probably a fake of course the
safest method is to actually let the
booth operator scan the ticket if the
guy selling you the ticket has nothing
to hide you should have no problem with
it
scalpers are out there competing for
your money and if you play your cards
right you could get to scalpers to
compete head-to-head you know on what
you got
