It is MovieTicket.com that requires the original credit card.




Hunter1138 is selling tickets to the Columbus showing, which used movietickets.com. Whoever wins that auction is gonna be pissed.

Maybe instead of e-mailing the scalpers, we should e-mail ALL the bidders of every auction warning them that there's no way to get the tickets without the original credit card...


Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Good idea. I e-mailed ebay's Security Center. Dunno if it did any good.

Or, just refuse to pay the scalpers any more than they paid for them. If it gets close enough to start time for the movie, they'll take your money just to break even.

Basically my plan since I don't really know anyone who would lemme have extra toronto tickets, so desperate scalpers would be better than waiting 6 months for me.


*actually the desperate scalpers is always a good idea if you ever wnat to deal with scalpers once the opening acts are gone the ticket prices usually go down in half.*
