Hey folks! I've 7 Browncoats in the local area who need tickets to the pre-screening. Anyone have any extras? Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks!

EDITED TO ADD: Okay, that number's just gone up to 11... and one of those is for the son of a friend who's already got a ticket for herself (thanks to SHK!!) - today's his 9th birthday, and he'd like to go. If I can't find at least ONE ticket for him, I'll give up mine and wait until September myself...

I'm not making light of your situation, trust me. But I just find it a bit comical that while many are struggling to find just ONE ticket, you have the audacity to ask for 7!!!! You go, girl!!! That's awesome! ( OK, it's Friday, and I'm getting psyched up for the weekend. )

Good luck!

Well, you know... I have the ones that I'd actually confirmed needing BEFORE they went on sale. I just didn't realize how many more Browncoats in my area had wanted to attend - and when the requests come in, I gotta do everything I can...

Bumping to keep alive... The number needed has increased to 11 - and now I'm cutting it off. There aren't any for Tampa on eBay at all, or I'd see about getting some of those...

The guy I purchased from probably has extras, but he is charging eBay-like prices. How high are the people you're getting tickets for willing to go? I might be able to get you a bulk discount, but the bill still won't be very pretty.

Hey Astri, I've got a possible lead on 2 for you over on the UB...you might want to go on over and go to the Can't Stop The Signal Boards. There's a "Tampa-who's coming" thread, and it's in there. I've already told her you're interested, but you might want to stay in contact with the person directly. Said she'd know this weekend for sure.

I know that one or two of the ones I need are willing to go that way if necessary. If you can find out the price for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, hon!

I haven't been on the past couple of days - could you do me a HUGE favor and check into those for me? You don't need to pay for them, just call me on the cell and let me know what's up and if she still has them.

He said he might have as few as two tickets, but as many as five. Would not give me a price -- says that he is watching eBay for a couple days to formulate a fair asking price, and he'll base it on whatever the going rate for Florida screening tickets is.

My rough guess would be somewhere in between $50-70 for a pair (just by looking at eBay right now). Looks like prices have really taken a dive since the last screening, where almost everything was $100/pair. Only a couple cities even seem to be getting over $70.

Hi all...NoirTech turned me on to this thread. I'm the one with extra tickets, looking to scalp them. I'm actually not looking to make any profit, but rather just to cover the travel costs. A bunch of the people who signed on to go as a group have bailed out, and now I don't even have a reliable car to make the 300 mile journey in. Consequently, I won't even be able to go to the show unless I can sell extra tickets to cover all the travel expenses that otherwise would have been split amongst a ton of people (rental car, gas, probably overnight hotel stay).

I will have up to 5 tickets, and pricing would go as follows:

1 ticket - $40
2 tickets - $70 ($35 each)
4 tickets - $120 ($30 each)
All 5 tickets - $140 ($28 each)

Prices are arranged to encourage large purchases, since I'd prefer not to have to track down 3-4 different buyers when I get into Tampa on Thursday. If anyone's interested, post your email here and I will get back to you. If not, this stuff is going up on eBay on Monday.

Akkk, I hadn't realized that we were closing in so quickly on the screening date! I put two Tampa tickets on eBay since there's not much time left. There's unsold as of this posting though, and I still have the others if anyone is interested.

I'm still looking for two tickets and I've checked out your auction, I wont be spending 75 bucks for them though. If they remain reasonable, you know -45, I will place a bid.

No problem =) I don't really intend to go over the fair market value of the things. If $45 is all they're worth to folks then so be it....I'll skip a few meals or something and pawn off some DVDs to finance the rest of the trip. $75 just seemed to be about where all the other Florida auctions were ending up....if the other Tampa auction (ending today) doesn't get that high then I'll see about lowering the Buy-It-Now price.

The two that were on eBay sold for $75, leaving me with three. Would probably go $100 for the remaining tickets ($33.33 each). If I have to put more on eBay I'll probably just sell a pair since pairs seem more popular and give the third ticket away to the cutest girl that agrees to sit in my lap for the entire film ;)

If interested, try and post back by this evening since I will probably put the last eBay auction up at that time.

Thanks for keeping me posted. I've got a call in to the guy who's willing to go a little higher - might be able to take these off your hands.

Also, thanks for letting me know about the other guy, too... My list was up to 11, so this wouldn't necessarily sabotage your sale.

Just gotta do a quick head-check with those who said they wanted tickets, and see whose plans have (and have not) changed...

Okay, some of my folks actually DID change plans, so I'm not going to need the ones you have after all. Thanks for checking for me, though.
