It doesn’t matter whether it’s a Radiohead concert or the AFL Grand Final, chances are there is going to be some shady dudes (most likely with cockney accents) with a golden ticket to that sold out event. Should you mess with them? Probably not. Can you afford that 200 bones he’s asking for those seats in the nosebleed section? Hell no!
It’s not like this is an ingenious plan. All you need is a friend to pose as a fellow scalper who can come in and undercut the real scalper. If all goes well, they’ll enter a declining bidding war in an effort get your sale.
To pull it off you’ll need to hold your nerve. These guys are scalpers, they make a living playing people. In the event that they smell a rat you’ll need good leg speed off the mark and/or a high tolerance to pain.
This is how it’s done:
