Hey guys first timer over here, have any of you guys ever bought a ticket from a 3rd party (craigslist ebay). If so, how did it work exactly? My apologies if this isn't the right section of the forum to post. Thanks in advance.

I would buy direct personally but I've had to score tickets through third parties before. The two times I've had to do it hasn't been a PITA. I've always gotten mine through Craigslist. Look for listings after the tickets have been shipped, the boards will blow up once people start getting them. Ask for pictures of the wristband. Don't pay more than you would through AC and when you meet for the buy, get all the paperwork that came with the wristband including the envelope. During your purchase or afterwards, register your wristband to avoid confusion and insure its legit. You shouldn't really have problems with people trying to sell their ticket. I avoid eBay for tickets because there's no face to face.
I've bought tickets for Roo on ebay a couple of times. I bought them at the last minute, after they had shipped. I usually can't commit to going until a few weeks before because of work. There is some risk involved, but I didn't have any problems and saved a bunch of money.
I bought my ticket off craigslist in 2010 a couple of days before the fest. I wouldnt do ebay cause you can't see the ticket before you buy it. Just make sure they have everything that bonnaroo sent them. I would ask for original packaging as well.
Thanks guys...the girl I may buy the ticket off from cl is asking for level 1 price & she's local. She said she could change the shipping address to mine or wait until its shipped (she got her email last night) & meet me to exchange . It sounds legit, just wanted the vets opinion.

Like everyone said.....make sure you can see it before you buy it. I wouldn't buy it on Ebay or some other site that would require the person to mail it to me or something. Getting a face to face transaction seems best and just make sure you register/check to see if it's legit before heading to roo.
A buddy of mine bought his off Craigslist in 2010. The ticket looked super legit, until all the ink rubbed off. Not saying this happens every time, but it's guaranteed not to happen when you buy it through Bonnaroo.
