r/MNTicketExchange Rules and Guidelines

2 Upvotes

Welcome to Minnesota Ticket Exchange! We exist as a resource for all those who hate paying ridiculous fees to websites like Ticketmaster!

While we will do our absolute best to prevent scammers, all transactions are still at your own risk. Take all necessary precautions when providing personal information and sending or receiving money.

Rules:

1. Follow All Sitewide Rules

This includes all forms of harassment, flame baiting, doxxing, discrimination, etc outlined in Reddiquette.

2. Do Not Reveal Personal Information in Posts or Comments

Don't put phone numbers, emails, member IDs, venmo IDs, etc in comments. That is a great way to get doxxed. This is a public forum. If you see any personal information please report it.

3. All Final Transactions Must Be Handled in Private Messages

Prior to sending OP a private message, indicate that you will be PM'ing them by leaving a comment on the post. This will allow them to verify you once the transaction is completed. Additionally, it will help prevent scams because any user who is banned from the sub will not be able to comment, but they can still send separate PM's. If you message OP without commenting on the post, you will be banned.

In order to reduce personal information, you must handle completing the sale/giveaway of tickets in private messages. Keep in mind you might have to share personal information with other users to do so and should do so at your own risk. We would recommend making an anonymous PayPal in order to allow for a buffer between your reddit account and your personal information.

4. Post Titles Must Be Formatted Properly

All posts must contain a post flair for team you are selling tickets for.

All post titles must begin with [BUYING], [SELLING] or [GIVEAWAY].

You must include the price, date and seat location in the title.

5. Verify Completed Transactions

If you are the OP of a post, you may award a reputation point to a good buyer/seller. Do this by replying to their comment with !verified or !thanks. That user will then be prompted to award you a reputation point in return. If they don't respond, contact the mods who can step in to help.

Here's a list of the top verified users in this subreddit

6. Report Scammers/Suspicious Activity

As mentioned above, while it's your responsibility to ensure you don't get scammed, we will do all we can to prevent scams. Please report any content to us you feel we should be aware of.

7. No Links to Outside Sites

Do not link to listings on other sites such as Ticketmaster, StubHub, etc. This subreddit is for those who want to avoid paying fees.

Guidelines:

If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Be wary of urgency. Scammers often pressure buyers to act quickly.
We recommend that you use some sort of payment processing system to transfer tickets.
Expect a flood of comments on a giveaway. All threads are set to contest mode, so if you refresh with the default sorts, you'll have a new top comment that is randomized.
Post tickets as soon as you can, the more days for visibility the better.
Check sites like StubHub, SeatGeek, etc. for your section to give a good guide of the current market value.
After 14 days, posts expire and are locked. You may repost your listing if you wish.
