Selling Beck/MGMT tickets shouldn't be difficult

So, last night I went to see Beck and MGMT at the United Palace (the show was amazing, pics and video to come soon). My friend and I had two extra tickets, and seeing how all three nights of the show were sold out, we thought there would be no problem selling them for face value.

I started out with this playful craigslist post:

2 Beck/MGMT tickets - Wed 10/8 - discount for cute boys - $110 (Upper East Side)

Just looking to make our money back.

We are two cute girls and are willing to give a discount to two cute guys (between the ages of 28 and 35).

While I got a couple of emails, nobody actually wanted the tickets. Pretty unbelievable I think.

My friend got a buyer with a more straightforward craigslist post who then proceded to stand us up, just an hour before doors were supposed to open at the show. We were standing on the corner for half an hour. Couldn't she have at least called? Seriously, there is a certain craigslist code that should be followed.

Finally, we decided just to sell the tickets to scalpers for half of what they were worth ($50 for the two of them) so we could be done with it and go into the venue. The fun this is, that since there are assigned seats in the United Palace, we got to see who ended up with our tickets (I would like to say that the venue was AWESOME, very beautiful, and much more fun than alot of places with seats. People were milling around, dancing, drinking, smoking etc. It was very laid back.) Anyways, the guys who ended up with our extra seats (seen below) paid $100 each!!! So the scalpers made $150 dollar off the lot of us. Oh well, none of us really cared all that much because the show was so awesome.
I highly recommend getting tickets for one of the next two nights if you dont already have them. Whatever price you have to pay, you will not be disappointed.
