I bought the wrong tickets for a concert in New York City, and want to know if anyone would like them. They are “virtual tickets”, were bought from an online site, and I can easily transfer them to someone else. Is this kind of thing frowned upon, (or perhaps even strongly advised against), or if not, to what forum should I post? ---

We don’t want the SDMB to turn into an eBay adjunct. If you were giving them away, then it would probably be OK. Let me check with my colleagues. ---

If you want to offer the concert tickets for free you can do so at the SDMB. However we remind posters that you should **not** post any personal information (address / phone number) on the message board. Instead use e-mail.
