Today, Iron Maiden tickets went on sale. Having early access I secured a group of GA floor tickets (no seats, phew!).
So I decided to check old Craigslist and see what others were selling for, had 4 extra’s so why not sell off a few?
There are several ads for tickets already, which go on public sale tomorrow. Prices vary, but they will start around $250 a ticket.
The catch is all floor tickets are paperless. This means the purchaser must enter with everyone in the group and show a credit card instead of a ticket, so anyone buying one has to meet you at the venue and go in with you.
This undertandably creates a lot of insecurity when buying a paperless ticket from someone off of Craigslist. So I noticed one ad and the guy is offering security in the following form:
[i]”I will let you meet me at my home, and provide [b]my drivers license photocopy, social insurance and a copy of my credit card. [/b][/i]
😀
In a recent security discussion regarding browser vulnerablity, I commented that people focus on online security but such information is so easily available elsewhere, by people just being careless with personal information…as we see demonstrated above.
We worry about online security and then overlook such silly things as offering a photocopy of DL, Social Insurance Number (social securiy card) and credit card!!!
What a maroon!
