Worldwide, one of the biggest things happening exactly one week from now is the release of GTA 6. Locally, at least for those in Miami, Florida, another thing is happening in a few days: the GTA 6 Music Festival. Many might already be making plans to attend and listen to the lineup of this monumental event. Yet, there are some who might have already ruined those plans. Today, one Reddit user exposed themselves as a scalper after bragging about “winning” 500 tickets for this festival.
Reddit user u/FullEntrepreneur9976 made quite the questionable post on Reddit, claiming they were, as the title says, “a dirty scalper.” In the post, they claim they “won” 500 tickets to the GTA 6 Music Festival taking place in Miami, Florida, later this week. They even posted a list of the alleged tickets and then “bragged” about saying they own 10% of all the tickets, as it seems the festival will only hold 11,000 people.
People quickly saw this as something made in bad faith, but also as a poor attempt to bait others into getting angry. As many know, there are some Florida locals who would love to attend this event, and due to alleged scalpers like the one above, some may not have the opportunity.
Still, it seems the post backfired quickly, as many on Reddit started making fun of the OP, saying that it wasn’t such a big deal, while others pointed out they just openly admitted to probably committing a crime. While the laws pertaining to ticket resales are a bit lenient, there could be problems if OP obtained all those tickets through bots or other means.
Florida Redditors Mock OP
While we’re not sure what the person was attempting with the post, some believe they were just trying to make people angry with this brag, but as many pointed out, this didn’t seem like the smart move.
“Imagine being arrogant and then posting your crime online.“
“Why post it, though? I’m sure it’s easy enough for them to rescind the tickets…no reason to put yourself on the radar.“
“Just block them and move on.”
Still, it seems this person managed to get their hands on hundreds of tickets, potentially leaving unlucky fans with little choice but to pay inflated resale prices. For Florida gamers hoping to attend one of the year’s biggest events, it’s yet another frustrating case of scalpers seemingly getting the upper hand.
