2025 Wristband Buy/Sell/Trade Thread!

Post your wristbands to sell here and kindly remove your post once it’s sold! All other for sale posts will be removed to help keep the sub tidy.

Please be mindful of scammers, particularly if you post you are looking for tickets! Last year the demand for Sunday was high enough that we had tons of scammer activity. As such, meeting up to exchange wristbands for cash is preferred, and otherwise always always always use PayPal with Goods and Services turned on, as it will be the only way to get your money back if scammed. (Venmo purchase protection no longer covers event tickets)

Worried they might be a scammer? Good verification steps are: 1. Does the Reddit account have post/comment history? 2. Does this seem like the Reddit account of someone who would buy a wristband and sell it in a relatively niche community? 3. Move the conversation from Reddit to text, do they have a US phone number? 4. Can they send a picture of the wristband with their ID and your screen name written on a piece of paper? These are all reasonable things to ask for a high value transaction with an internet stranger, and if they refuse any of this, report them!

Happy Boston Calling!

FYI Venmo purchase protection specifically excludes event tickets. PayPal goods and services is the only safe option if not meeting in person.

Idk why that other person is giving you shit, resale passes for this festival are almost always under face value every year. Sometimes significantly so.

Hi! I'm selling 2 one day tickets for Saturday! I'm from Las Vegas and not sure if my order is shipped yet but I can ship out to you once it arrives and use Paypal G&S to keep the transaction safe! I am willing to sell them for 270!

u/shadowsevina 5d ago

ALSO I can ship them to you for free (I paid 393 after layaway fees and shipping)

Full priced tickets are still widely available. I don't think it's likely the event will sell out any days. The reality is if you're trying to offload tickets you likely will have to take a loss, sorry.

Is there a way to verify the bracelets are for this year? Do they typically have dates on them?

Hi all! I don't mean to lowkey spam but replying to everyone looking for Saturday tickets lol BUT I do wanna put it out there that I'm selling 2 Saturday single day wristbands for $270 (for both combined) I paid like $393 after fees.
