| Imagine Dragons - At House of Blues Houston |
So the day of the concert came and I decided to go and try to find some tickets. My friend Kadi tagged along and decided to first try and see if anyone was selling tickets outside.
The first person we came across was someone saying the usual "tickets, tickets, need tickets?" of course I had to ask how much and he said "$80". I went for it and he told us to wait on the stairs for someone to come get us and they would walk us in. It sounded pretty sketchy and one guy passing by said not to trust them because they were going to take us to a VIP room and leave us there, not take us to the actual concert. Decided not to go for it and look around.
The next guy that showed up was offering balcony seats at $220 each and after a few minutes of negotiating he said "Can't do it for less, sorry". Disappointed we went to eat something and try to figure out if we were going to miss the concert or what to do.
We decided that we were there, that it was worth it and so I called the guy saying that I had the money to pay for them. The scalper told me to meet him at a bar across the street and when I got there 4 other guys approached me complaining that I was their client and he told them to go away. At some point I thought I was going to get robbed, but I got the tickets!!
Still unsure if they were legit or not, we approached the door and the lady scanned them. She said they were ok and we got in.
It was a great concert, and I was able to record some of the songs they played that night. It was a first-time for me buying tickets from a scalper, a scary experience, but I learned a new lesson on what to do and not to do when buying tickets from them.
I'm sure some of you have missed a concert for not finding tickets on time, and I wish this people that just want to make $$ didn't exist, but they do and if you're going to have to deal with one, well at least take your precautions.
