I’m needing 4 tickets to Seattle if anyone happens to have any. Just got completely scammed. It’s never happened to me before but this worthless POS got me. Pretty devastating. 
So If anyone ends up not being able to go I would certainly take them off your hands. There’s no way I could tell my little guy we’re not going now to his first SX, it’s all he’s been talking about for months. 


Id rather not buy the cheap seats as someone just told me last year there were employees standing at the entrances of all the bays, Checking your tickets, making sure you sit where you’re suppose to.
We’d be forced to watch the race from the moon, way up at the top ugh 

Please shoot me an email if so, Thank you

Curious about the scam as well. In this day and age, unless you gave someone cash I don't see how people scam you for tickets. Everything is protected, from paypal, to credit cards, banks etc. Well, I guess if you used venmo or paid something as friends and family it would not be. But regardless, hope it all works out and I hope people don't start posting this every week thinking they will get a handout.

My 25 year old kid bought fake concert tickets off a guy on craigslist a couple years ago.  Saw the add on CL, met the guy in Home Depot parking lot, paid cash for very real looking tickets that were fake.  Didn't find out they were fake until they tried to scan them at the concert gate.  

Of course, never let me know what he was doing until after the fact.

So this thread is a nice story with a happy result but curious as to why the OP hasn’t responded with more details so his fellow moto friends could avoid the same thing? Or to publicly thank the person that got him free tickets? Not knocking the dude but it’s been a while since this thread was created?

Or mayb the dude claimed he got scammed to get free tickets & the dude who has actually now been scammed is ML 🤦🏻‍♂️

All I've gotten from this thread is:

- I got scammed

- I make it common practice to sit in seats I don't pay for

- Thanks for the free tickets

- *Crickets to what actually happened*

I thought of the same thing. I hope I’m wrong but even if it is true, ML did a very good deed for hooking the OP up.

This place is hilarious. First page has a lot of heart felt post along with a couple of hard-asses and then you click to the second page and the plot thickens since the OP is mia and his suspicious absence is only making more of the Vital lynch mob uneasy.

Crazy how some people work for a living and can be busy with families to take care of. God forbid people don’t check into vital 10x a day. I’m sure the OP will get his notifications when he logs back on and respond.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'll go days where I post every day, then I won't even think about Vital until I'm bored at a morning "meeting."

Maybe he's been emailing back and forth with ML and hasn't even thought of giving an update. 

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I have been emailing with the OP.

Some of these posts are prime examples of why we can't have nice things...

Can someone make sure the OP has $800 available on a credit card?

I bought $10 worth of last night's $272M Powerball but haven't checked the numbers yet. Pretty sure I got scammed but I knew that going in...

Sucks what happened to the OP but good to hear Vital is doing good things for its members.

Probably a good time to just lock up this thread based on the stupidity posted in here.

 

OP.... enjoy the race with the family.    Post some pics if you can.

I don't want to live in that world. I'd rather try to do the right thing and get scammed than to be jaded and never help. Solid move ML!

 

As far as moving seats I used to go to Detroit Red Wings games at Joe Louis Arena and buy Standing Room Only seats. Usually there would be no shows and if you got in good with the ushers, they would help you find a good seat. Buy a 20 buck ticket to stand with the rest of the bums and end up on the glass with the people who are just there to be seen. 

Second quick story if you''ll indulge me. My dad used to take us to the Silverdome Supercross and the upper deck would always be closed. I remember sitting in our seats watching my dad get chased by security guards in the 3rd deck. Our whole section was cheering them on.
