Hey just writing to say that AC/DC is finally coming to my province, and due to a huge demand, the ticketmaster website crashed when I was on it. I was unable to get tickets, and now they are on Ebay and stuff for $400 bucks each.

Dear Scalpers, Go f**k yourself. That is all. Thank you for your time

eBay sucks. Did you try StubHub?

diddiyo · 04-21-2009, 11:38 AM

i love scalpers. i always bought from the same guy, $40 Florida Panthers tickets for $15. can't complain. that probably won't work at other teams though because nobody wants to see the panthers and they're pretty much giving away tickets anyway hehe.

some guy once sold me a 3rd row sideline ticket (like $150 or so) for $20 haha.

If all else fails, I have always had success with the Hail Mary move. Basically, you show up at the concert and wait until AC/DC goes on stage. You get the tickets for less than face value except you may miss the first 2 songs.

StubHub is just a form of legalized scalping...

What I do for a lot of sporting events is go on craigslist for your area and buy tickets people are trying to get rid of the same day of the event. They're much more willing to give it to you at face value than not sell the ticket at all.

Dude, don't sweat it. I can get you some for 399.00

Jamie Mac · 04-21-2009, 04:58 PM

I saw them in Pittsburgh. I'd pay it if I had the money. Awesome show

djsnoflake · 04-22-2009, 11:01 AM

Yeah I am trying to get in on a radio contest, and then if all else fails, pick up some last minute tickets. Fingers crossed.....................

Utsutsu · 04-22-2009, 01:26 PM

I hope you get to see them, I saw them when they came here in Houston.

I was up early on the website ready to buy. Luckily I manage to get 4 tickets at the floor section for $80 something per ticket, the extra $10 for convenience fee per ticket pissed me off. They always trying to nickel and dime you for anything.

djsnoflake · 04-22-2009, 07:06 PM

UPDATE: I WON THE RADIO CONTEST

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MwaHAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jamie Mac · 04-22-2009, 08:58 PM

CONGRATS! I never got to see them with Bon Scott. I've seen every tour starting with Flick of the Switch. They have definatly come along way since the first time I saw them. It used to be just a light show. I think they have a lot more stage production to make up for Angus slowing down in his old age. I hope I'm half as active as he is when I'm there! Great show. I took my 9 year old to see them for his first concert. He was shouting to me about how it was the loudest thing he's ever heard. I told him to just wait for when they played For Those About To Rock. When the cannons went off he jumped about a foot and spun around and looked at me with a HUGE grin on his face. He told me he needed everyone of those songs on his Ipod. I hooked him up but since he's only 9 I took the liberty of omitting a few. Enjoy it!

crazz28 · 04-22-2009, 10:41 PM

I'll see you there DJ!!!!!! I got 4 tickets, even my dad got 4, lol.
I could sell mine and put it towards a whole new set of rims and tires but I figured I won't get a chance to see these guys again so close to home, can't pass that up.
We'll have to start a convoy and roll down 11 with AC/DC blaring that day!!!

djsnoflake · 04-23-2009, 05:37 PM
