You should be fine unless you are afraid of the wooks.

ive never done stub hub have you ever been screwed by it ?

YES. AVOID STUBHUB. Almost all other online agencies own their tickets or the rights to them. Yes the prices suck, but if you\'re willing to pay the posted price, you get the tickets, that\'s it. Not so on Stubhub. All Stubhub does is contact the person who owns them to see if they\'re still willing to sell at the price they posted. They do this AFTER you pay and they are SLOW. A few years ago I tried stubhub for something. I bought 2 tickets 3 weeks in advance and am told that tickets are coming in the mail. I make all my other arrangements to be at the event. 4 days before event, I call to ask where the tickets are, they say the seller isn\'t willing to sell at that price anymore, but I can have them for 50% more, and if I don\'t there\'s a 10% cancellation fee. This was unbelievable because A. They never even called me, I had to call them to learn this shortly before the event B. They had all my money the whole time and C. They changed the price after shipping was confirmed and D. They held me hostage by threatening to steal 10% if I didn\'t give them 50% more. Also note that their posted prices are nowhere near the price you pay after fees. Everything gets marked up 25-40% by the time you\'re done. Go on and try it, click all the way through to the last step and that Phish ticket advertised for $80 will be $115...and that\'s assuming they don\'t raise the price again later.

That\'s **** BRUTAL.

for people familiar with Albany, think it\'s safe to walk 1.5 miles from the venue to the hotel after the show, or is it a sketchy/unsafe walk?

Huh. This question never occured to me. Then again I go hard wherever I go.

Pretty sure if I can get up in Philly NOS Mafia\'s face and tell em they better watch who they\'re callin "custie" and that they\'re not gonna have any custies at all if they keep treating people like **** for $10 watered down garbage gas, and totally get away with it ... I\'m really not too worried about city folk of mixed ethnicities.

Walk like you own the place wherever you go, nobody\'s gonna **** with you.

do that in many places in springfield and you\'ll have a different story which I\'m sure you\'ll agree with being a local, i\'ve seen knives/guns pulled on people during the day down there before

wtf is a "custie"?

"custie" is a demeaning term used by dickwad drug dealers to refer to their customers. To call someone who is buying something this to their face is a flat-out insult.

If I\'m spending money on some substance I at least expect to be treated with respect. Fortunately the only time I was called a "custie" was by some Philly nitrous punks (I didn\'t even buy their gas I only went over there to lecture them about their price gouging practices) and probably the only reason I got away with this confrontation unscarred was due to the fact that they had a massive line of people to deal with. I just cut to the start of the line, hopped the fence and stood right next to this guy and started explaining to him that not only are his obnoxious practices ruining a scene, but they are going to find it harder and harder to work shows if they keep jacking prices and carrying on like thug **** with no respect for anybody.

It\'s not like I\'m even opposed to N20, just the way these **** carry out their business. :shrug:

True, there are parts of Springfield I\'d rather have a friend with than walk through alone. But I think any city that has a Phish concert, the surrounding couple miles are pretty much full of cops and hippies so you really got nothing to worry about.

I also keep a crack rock handy that I can toss like a frisbee in case things do get hairy

ya, I wasn\'t thinking it would be a problem, but never hurts to ask people who might have done it.

and what a stupid word to make up, can\'t see that one making it into websters dictionary

Edit....looks like all local hotels are sold out...anybody have one within walking distance they are thinking of cancelling?

I ordered two tickets from StubHub for Phish in Philly on the 24th. They were E-tickets, and they arrived in my email within 24 hours. Received and printed, no problems here.

just hope you\'re the only person they were sent to... i\'ve heard of that happening, too. i\'ve only used stubhub once and didn\'t go back due to the extra, hidden charges that wolf mentioned...

Funny how probably nobody else took issue with that choice of language ... when what I really meant to say was

WHITE POWER!!!

:lol:

what?

Sorry my mother was a wolf and my father is black. I came out white. I\'m race and species blind, these things don\'t occur to me. I get in trouble from time to time for not giving a crap what "mixed ethnicity" people might be

Much better.
