I've bought myself a ticket every year for the past three years and have never been able to attend, due to 'sploding PC or exam timing, and I've sold them for the printed price, always at a last minute to people who were amazingly grateful that I had no markup when there were R1000 tickets being offered by scummy people.

Man the pitchforks, I support this thread :)

PS. This year is looking like I'll actually have a rig and time to go to the lan, but I was too late and have no ticket, lol.

I'm normally the go-to friend in my group that buys tickets for the group... but I'm willing to fore go the helping out of friends in future if the process to buy a ticket for rAge gets to the point whereby I can only buy 1 ticket.

In other words... if the system gets changed whereby I'll need an ID or parent to buy the ticket for me in order to screw over the scalpers... I'm for it!!!

In the past where I bought tickets and a friend could not make it... I would sell that ticket for the price of what was printed on the ticket and not for a cent more.

To the scalpers... may your Internet connection be slow and your children will never move out of your house.

LMAO!! NICE 1!

People who aid scalpers by buying from them are no better of selling them thereselves.

good example

some kid willing too pay R500 for a ticket on sybaritic forums, i mean come on, you knew the tickets went on sale at a specific date, you had more than enough time too make provisions too get a ticket.

I just hope the tickets sold where at the selling price of R300 and not for profit reasons and they will be used cause we want a full event not empty seats because of scalpers buying all the tickets.

Miz3r: It happens. This year I couldnt get it on the release day and as such the next day it was sold out. :(

I posted on some forums because I couldn't go to Computicket on the 1st, and a day later it showed 'performance sold out'.

Today I got this email:

"Hey, I have 3 tickets for sale at R600 ea
Let me know if you are interested"

My reply was that that seemed a bit excessive, and his reply was:

"Unfortunately at this point that is what I am after for them.
It seems as if that is around the going rate the moment though."

To me this is douchebaggy at best. Not only did he willingly and deliberately buy excess tickets, he also wants to sell them at 200% purchase price without even flinching.

But then you see posts like this on SGS:

"hey do u know of anyone selling a rAge ticket?

ill pay R550"

Last year I had two tickets but couldn't make it on short notice, and I sold them to the next guy for exactly what I paid for them.

That being said, I am perfectly willing to buy three tickets for myself and two friends, but not at rip-off prices.

Edit: I have sent the mail address of that person to GeometriX - it seems that guy is doing it on a regular basis...

[N00dle]

Ok so if your gonna resell the tickets, where can I get one? I need one more for my friend, I already got mine

[Migs]

Who do we email or call to be placed on the list for another Rage Nag Lan ticket?

[rainynight65]

N00dle, Migs: email lauren at nag dot co dot za

I couldn't help but vent on my blog a little about this issue:

Thanks rainynight65. Much appreciated.

Actually, I already have a ticket for myself. The extra ticket is for a friend of mine, who I did not even know wanted to go to the Lan. If he had told me alot sooner I could have grabbed a ticket for him.

[N00dle]

Thanks a lot rainynight65! just to clarify, the tickets not for me. My buddy was asleep on the day it sold out

[Dark Prince]

These people who sell the tickets at a stupid price for a greedy profit make me sick. I have so many friends who wanted to go but these douchebags beat them to it for tickets they arent even going to use just to make an extra buck. Its pathetic.

I marked them all for deletion and i have heard back that a few have been deleted. If you come across these ads just report them to the site and they will get removed. I mentioned how the tickets were on computicket and that the seller is Ticket Scalping which is illegal.

Good day

The advert has been removed. Thank you for reporting this to us.

That's good. Those f****** scalpers must either use their ticket or sell them back to NAG at the original cost so that they can pass them onto someone more deserving!

[Aesir]

R400 for ticket on SGS forum.

[Griff3n]

evening.. how are you going to sell the tickets? I want one, but there is no way that i am paying more than everyone else did

[GeometriX]

Contact Lauren, she'll fill you in on the details. Of course we're not going to charge more than the original price; scalping on our own expo would be kind of stupid.

[Tankiouse]

It wudnt be scalping think of it as a late fee LOL
