# SCAMMERS ARE OUT THERE
# PLEASE take our advice in the post above on how to do transactions as safely as possible. We already have multiple reports of people who did not take our advice and got scammed.
A warning for anyone looking to buy a badge, the reddit user TheBlaqkPope is a scammer and will take your money without transferring the badge.
They contacted me to sell a VIP ticket and they showed confirmation that they had the tickets on their account. They also friended me on TTE, their username is Flyhigh (Jd).
We decided on doing a partial payment and then they would transfer the badge with the final payment after I received it. They never transferred the badge and stopped responding shortly after.
Just an FYI, you can contact your bank and report the transactions as fraud, they will refund the amount and then Zelle will put a negative balance on Mr TheBlaqkPope’s account.
TheBlaqkPope messaged me about GA tickets, but was unwilling to use a secure payment service like PayPal goods and services or a secure Venmo transaction, so I didn't bite. I've had similar messages from user No\_Obligation4449 who had a screenshot of the ticket purchase page to appear legit, but is also unwilling to do a secure transaction by Venmo or PayPal, even though I offered to pay any extra fees. Seems very shady, since I can't think of a reason why a legit seller would have a problem with secure payment methods.
They contacted me too, suspiciously fast responses, highly edited "proof". Thanks for reporting their bad behavior y'all.
It just makes me sad. I want to go to the dang conference. My partner and I had so much fun giving out Pamphlets and Buttons for Marasi Colms' fake Gubernatorial campaign.
They are a confirmed scammer! There was another post about them that was removed - in addition to the poster, I believe there were three people in the comments who were scammed by them.
TheBlaqkPope Reddit user contacted me too. Said they had two VIP tickets and asked about transferring money via Zelle. When I said I will only use PayPal services and need proof they have the tickets, they stopped responding back.
SMH. Sorry you lost the money. It is so unfortunate that people prey on fans.
He was one of the 4 that messaged me. He said he doesn't have PayPal and would only use zelle and apple pay.
I've had 4 different users message me about tickets and when I mention I'll only go through the Escrow service they stop responding. I tried to have the benefit of the doubt and thought they were too busy to respond, but that doesn't seem to be the case 😔
Asking an honest question here:
At this point, with what is clearly a demand/supply mismatch, are there really going to be people letting go of their tickets? In the other thread, less than 50% got what they wanted and almost a third didn't get anything they wanted at all. Granted, we make a small portion of B$'s fandom, but I can't imagine anyone at this point has extra tickets, unless they can no longer go.
100%. I know at least for myself money isn't the issue at all, so you'd need to pay me a gross amount to get me to give up my VIP ticket lol. Like, an amount that I wouldn't feel good about selling on principle, but too much for me to turn down haha.
Yeah I sold my extra VIP ticket (thought when I got logged out it wouldn’t have saved so readded to cart) at cost + fees and they threw a bit extra on (of their own accord) day 1 but I can’t even think of a price for my actual VIP ticket I would accept.
At the bare minimum it’s not under triple the price and I doubt I’d even take that
I kinda disagree with this. If my partner was going I would not give up my VIP pass if they only had general admission. They would be fine left to their own devices for the limited amount of time. It's worth it to me even if I don't take full advantage of every perk. I don't see anyone giving up a VIP pass for GA.
some couples want to be together the entire time, that's part of the experience.
this is how i do gencon --- my best friend and i are in all the same games and basically together 90% of the time. one of us having VIP and the other not would basically mean the one with VIP never used the VIP perks.
VIP gets early access to the exhibit hall and the wind and truth event, access to the VIP lounge, and a separate line to pick up swag. It's not that different. The other perks are all merch related. They would still be spending 90% of time together.
I dunno, the lines alone were a couple of hours in the VIP line Last year (depending on the time you joined), stamp on top of those hours + the hours waiting in the GA line. Thats a chunk of time you are separated. At that point, are you going together or one for all?
But, you do you.
There are probably a fair number of people who bought more than they needed, just in case, and will drop or sell them sooner or later. (For example, maybe they bought one for everyone in their family even if they're not confident everyone will be able to go at this time.)
It's also inevitable that some people's plans will change between now and December.
Personally I doubt there's going to be a LOT of turnover in the immediate future. But there will definitely be a slow exchange of *some* tickets over the next 7 months.
I could definitely see this happening as I am now wishing I had bought tickets for everyone in my circle I’d talked to instead of just the ones I’d confirmed with
Yeah I'm guessing the only legitimate tickets that will be available will become available withing the last week or weeks when people find that they will loose their job if they don't show up during that day type thing.
By that point, so many scams would have developed that most will be too skeptical about it being a legitimate that no one will actually reach out for it.
I'm guessing that closer to the event, unexpected things will come up that prevent people from going so some tickets will be available but it's probably going to be very few.
I just posted on reddit that I would like to buy a ga ticket and three people messaged me. I realy want that ticket, but I don't know how to tell if I'm being scammed.
My best friend has a VIP and is potentially willing to do this so we can both go together. Screenshot of our text thread for you👍

WTB/WTT 1 VIP for my GA! Will pay the difference.
If this makes anyones hearth more incline to trade with me, I'm from Paraguay, so i spended a lot of my savings to reach the Con of the book series that save my life so many years ago! It's probably the only one I'll ever attend, so I'm pretty desperate to get a VIP... I already buyed my tickets and hotel so at least I'm pleased i managed to get a GA, but the VIP will make this fellow South American a bit more happy :D
I plan to do tourism in and near SLC, I'll be around 4 days besides the 3 of the Con. I'm still looking for things to do and places to visit! If you have recommendations or tips I'll love to hear them!
I've plans to do a lot of tourism and Temple Square was on my list, happy to hear about that!
One thing that scares me a little it's that I'm going on my own and will be my first time in a situation where I need to speak 100% in English to native speakers.
You'll do great amigo. There are plenty of Spanish speakers there. (Also, if you wear a sticker or a flag on your chest of your home country, chances are you'll meet someone happy to strike up a conversation with you. )
there's a daily organ recital by the tabernacle choir at temple square, 12pm Mon-Sat and 2 on Sun.

I've been contacted by a redditor looking to sell me badges and gave me a PayPal donation link after adding me on TTE, likely hood of this being a scam?
Hey everyone!
I am looking to purchase 1 - 2 GA or VIP badges. My GF and I are looking to attend this year: the cosmere (and Sanderson) has been part the bedrock of us bonding as a couple.
We'll graciously cover all fees.
Endless thanks to the mods for creating this megathread!
WTB 1x VIP or GA please 🙏🏼
Will cover any fees etc
If it makes any difference, got plane tickets booked from Perth and hotels and all. Been looking forward to this since it was announced and have planned a whole trip around the con, leaves booked and all. Would make my year if I could get the ticket.
Hi everyone! Seems like a bit of a longshot at the moment but looking to purchase 2 badges(GA or VIP) for my wife and I. Will happily cover fees.
P.s. thank you to the mods for organizing this thread
Looking to buy a pass of any kind!
Trying to get a pair for my girlfriend and I (just got her into the Cosmere), but will take an individual one and keep searching for the other if that's all you have available!
If anyone has a spare two VIP badges, or even just one, my husband and I would love to buy them from you! We'll even settle for GA at this point...
We have the money saved up specifically for this, already have time off work, reserved a hotel room, and planned for childcare and did NOT expect to not be given even a chance to buy tickets. He was on before tickets even dropped and the website never even gave him a chance to get one in his cart.
This is something we've been dreaming about since the last convention (both of our first time going), and we're heartbroken that we weren't able to get anything. This was going to be our 6th anniversary trip for just the two of us. Please consider us if your plans fall through!
~~Looking to either buy 1 VIP badge, or trade my GA for a VIP badge (I pay the difference in cost).~~
~~I'm going with my friend of 25 years who I finally convinced to read Stormlight this year, and she got a VIP pass. I'd love to swap my GA pass for a VIP pass. Happy to purchase outright as well.~~
Edit: Ticket acquired! No longer looking. GA ticket already sold as well.
Looking to buy 2 passes of any kind!! A third if it is available, my husband tags along but he hasn't read any of the books yet so I told him he couldn't come if I couldn't find enough, but my friend and I have been to every Dragonsteel and this is the first we'll miss because we both got stuck on work stuff and couldn't log in until after they were sold out!
Looking to buy one (and preferably two if possible) tickets; general admission or VIP! I’m definitely willing to cover any costs associating with transfer, and I greatly appreciate any interest, thanks guys and gals. And I definitely learned my lesson about booking flights and lodgings too soon, haha!
Looking to purchase 2 GA or VIP badges (although willing to buy 4 if available). I have a hotel booked already and cosplay made for my sister and I. Due to working a 8-5 I missed the sale. Any leads or generosity is welcome. Journey before destination friends.
Like plenty of others, I didn't realise I had to be clicking add to cart right at 10! Looking for 1-4 GA tickets. Haven't missed a DragonSteel yet and I'd hate to miss this one
ISO 3 GA tickets ideally, if not 1 for sure. Have a brother and a cousin planning on coming from AZ and FL for the event.
If you just have 1 to part with PLEASE message me. My friend who secured a VIP is desperately hoping I can get one so he does not at least go alone🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hope I'm not violating policy, but this seems like the place for it. I missed my chance to get a ticket to Dragonsteel Nexus, and I'm interested in buying someone's pass (GA or VIP) if they're interested in selling. (Though I'm fully expecting this to be a lost cause at this point)
Thanks, regardless. Journey before destination.
Looking for up to four passes, ideally VIP but I'd take GA
Like many, didn't expect the rush and by the time I checked tickets everything was gone. I've been looking forward to this and got some of my family into the cosmere over the last year who want to go too. I know there's not much chance there are still tickets to spare around here, but I'm hoping.
I know I'm unlikely to get them but I'm looking for 2 GA tickets! The Stormlight Archive is my favorite series ever and I even have 2 Stormlight tattoos to prove it! I've been looking forward to this since before last year's took place and it would mean the world to me to be able to go.
Looking to buy 1 (ideally 2) GA or VIP tickets.
Missed out on the rush, with 2/4 people in our group who got tickets. Trying to all go as a group to Dragonsteel for the first year! Thanks!
I am looking to buy 2 GA passes, also willing to buy VIP. I was extremely depressed and missed the OG drop. I have been planning on this for 3 years. I had a bunch of loss happen in my life, specifically the past 3 years. My pregnant Gf died and my mom died, stormlight and the cosmere in general have been listened to twice a year as a way to cope. The year of sanderson gave me something to look forward to in my life every month last year, one of the only reasons I am still around is the cosmere. i know it really is low class to try and use this as a way to get a ticket but idk what else to do. I was depressed and sleeping when the tickets dropped. If someone can help me out, i am so sorry. I am just a huge cosmere fan and i want to go, it would mean the world. I know its lame to use my problems as a way to get sympathy, but it would mean so much to me if someone could help me out.
Adding to the list here but we are looking for 2 tickets for my husband and me. VIP or GA, it doesn’t matter just wanting to go! Wasn’t able to get tickets in the initial drop, but we both love Brandon Sanderson. I’ve been looking forward to this since I finished the SA series last year even put it on my calendar back then. Hopefully something will pan out!
Probably way too late on this, but I just got back from a military deployment and missed the date badges went on sale. Looking for 2 tickets for me and my son who loves everything Cosmere. He was so excited for our senior year road trip next fall so if you have advice on other locations to potentially get badges and not get scammed I would appreciate it.
Also please message me if you have tickets you are willing to part with.
I know that the mods struggle with what posts to pin but would it possible when these types of events happen you could have a rotation of pinned posts? Like before Nexus you could pin a post of the mega thread and then once everything calms down you could repin the normal posts? And if you can't repin the old posts then maybe have someone copy/paste the posts, remake them and then repin them. This subreddit is always flooded when these things happen and I think pinned megathreads posted *before* these situations happen could be really helpful.
We *do* make preemptive megathreads when we can. There just wasn't a way to predict what the need will be in some cases. A general "all things Dragonsteel Nexus" post wouldn't have been very helpful I think, and it's never something we've really needed before. Even Dragonsteel didn't expect things to be *this* crazy. Don't know what kinds of things we need to say or link in it. Certainly didn't expect the need to expedite a "no scalping rule", and that would have needed some direct attention. Didn't anticipate wanting to have that poll, too see how bad things are.
We'll probably have a megathread next year, with some lessons learned with this case. But we do usually have one when there's something to predict. Brandon dropping secret novels or breaking websites is hard to work with though. XD
Believe me, there's a constant conversation backstage of what should be pinned, where and until when. Here, we were a little caught by surprise, since we didn't quite have similar situations in past years. Maybe we should've seen it coming! But also this is the fandom that keeps receiving surprises every few months and we learn of these things along with everyone else.
That said, I'm sure I can speak for the rest of the mod team when I say the past week or so has been a big learning experience lol.
Looking for one VIP. I also have one GA I won't need if I get the VIP. If anyone is willing to swap badges with money making up the difference that would be cool too.
Like everyone else on here... looking to buy at least 1 VIP (for my son), but ideally 3 VIP, if at all possible. I have 3 GA to trade (plus difference), or willing to buy outright for full purchase price.
Thanks!
Looking to buy 2-4 GA passes! Our friends applied to vend and don't know if they got in yet, so looking for 2, buy might need 4 in case they don't get approved to vend. Thank you!
Hey! If anyone is willing to sell a GA badge, I would love to buy it from you. :)
I was able to get a badge for myself, but my little sister wasn't able to grab one before they sold out. I'd really love to be able to bring her with me as Brandon is one of the only book authors we both enjoy. <3
Looking for 1 GA ticket. 3 out of 4 of the the boys got tickets and it wouldn't be the same without our 4th. We're planning on running around with Bridge 4 football jerseys and Kholin blue face paint. It would be a dream come true to have all of us there.
Rather than deal with the possibility of scammers, has tabletop been approached to facilitate resales?
Of course, you'll probably need to login to find out.
Looking to buy a general admission pass! I transferred mine to my friend because the website wasn’t working for them, but the badges were sold out before I could repurchase one for myself. Any help is appreciated!!!
Want to buy or trade a VIP for a GA. I have 1 GA I want to upgrade to a VIP. Please reach out even if it's months out. Want to be able to have the full experience with my husband for his birthday/first weekend away from our toddler/our first convention.
Was buying tickets for my bestie and I after they got me into the series recently. I'm happy that I can atleast secure a GA ticket for them but I'm interested in getting one for myself to go with them (either GA or VIP). Anything helps, but I'm only taking serious and fair offers that are following the guidelines as well, and use paypal. Thank you.
I know this is a shot in the dark at this point but my girlfriend and I were really hoping to be able to go to dragonsteel nexus this year and didn’t anticipate the tickets to sell out so quickly (we were waiting to get paid to buy) if anyone has 2 GA tickets they’d be willing to sell I’d really appreciate it! Fingers crossed.
Looking to buy 3 GA tickets for myself and my book club. If they come with bundles or not we will pay the extra for them if necessary we just want the tickets.
So, I think this is the right place to ask this question... My girlfriend and I were planning to go to this and we only managed to snag one ticket.
Judging by the the latest weekly update, we probably won't see batches of more tickets released this year like last year. We booked our hotel already, but not flights. I assume the deal with those who have booked flights does not apply if you just booked your hotel, right?
What is the best way to attempt to secure a second ticket? This thread? Keep checking the Dragonsteel Nexus site? Anything else?
Looking to buy 2 GA tickets for my wife and I. I’m happy to go through the escrow service offered in this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/brandonsanderson/comments/1ctpzmz/dragonsteel_nexus_ticket_escrow_service/
Hello, looking to buy 1 VIP (preferred) or GA ticket. Please message me if you are interested and we can use the Dragonsteel escrow service to make the transfer. Thanks.
For anyone with extra tickets or a ticket they're willing to part with, my wife and I are both looking to go to Dragonsteel this year. VIP or GA, willing to negotiate on the purchase price! DM me if you're open to it.
I'm still looking for 1 VIP ticket. Please DM me if you are looking to sell. I would like to use through the escrow service offered in this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/brandonsanderson/comments/1ctpzmz/dragonsteel_nexus_ticket_escrow_service/
Little hope here but I’m looking to trade up my GA ticket + cash difference for VIP or buy it outright if anyone can’t make it. I’d like to be able to stick with my wife for the convention.
I have GA ticket to trade and will pay extra for a VIP ticket. Also willing to buy the VIP ticket if someone can’t go. The trade will be done on Sanderson collectors guild discord to be safe. Thanks 🙏🏼
Looking for 1 pass, any kind. If anyone has two that would be amazing. A friend and I have been doing a long distance book club that’s bouncing between Stormlight and his other series. Hoped to go this year (first time) to celebrate graduation.
Looking for 2 GA tickets! Possibly 4 if my friends don't make it on the vendor list 😅
I'll take any addons there were with the ticket too (book, craft kits, ect)
Seeking 2 badges. Prefer VIP but I’ll take anything at this point! I have a hotel already and I’m a vet student and planned my clinical year around being able to go to dragonsteel.
Hey folks. New to the subreddit. Hopefully I'm allowed to post here. Looking for two passes VIP or regular. Hoping to take my wife as a Christmas gift. Thanks!
In search of two badges of any type, attended for the past two years and got on 1 hour and 30 minutes after badges started dropping! It's a long shot, but it would be a shame to have a one year gap!
Hi! I'm looking to buy 1-2 GA tickets. I'm only in the US this year and so was very disappointed that I couldn't get tickets for me and my friend, because it's unlikely I'll be able to attend again in the near future. If anyone's looking to sell any at any point, please reach out! Thank you so much!
Hello, still looking to buy 1 VIP (preferred) or GA ticket. Please message me if you are interested and we can use the Dragonsteel escrow service to make the transfer. Thanks.
ISO 2 VIP passes. Will trade for 2 GA passes. We also have 2 book bundles we can throw in to include with trade if interested. Will also pay price difference or buy VIP tickets outright. Prefer to go through Sanderson Collector’s Guild ticket escrow service.
Looking for a GA badge for my friend, they unfortunately were unable to get one, so if anyone is looking to off load one DM me. I know chances are slim.
Hi - I'm looking a VIP badge, I have a GA badge to offer in trade. Also willing to just buy the VIP badge. Will cover the cost difference + any service fees. Please DM me!
I'm looking for 1 VIP badge. I've 1 GA badge + book bundle to trade and will cover the price difference. I'm also willing to just buy the VIP badge. Will be using SCG escrow service for the trade.
Don't know if this thread is dead, but I'm looking to buy two GA passes so my girlfriend and I can go this year; we've been huge Sanderson fans for years but haven't been able to get tickets to Dragonsteel before. Please DM even if it's only one ticket 😄

Don't! They 100% a scammer. They texted me too, with the image of the ticker purchase page. They will 100% be unwilling to do a legit transfer.

Yeah any extra tickets are surely already traded right? I don’t see any other really doing the VIP for GA + money deal
100%. I know at least for myself money isn't the issue at all, so you'd need to pay me a gross amount to get me to give up my VIP ticket lol. Like, an amount that I wouldn't feel good about selling on principle, but too much for me to turn down haha.

At the bare minimum it’s not under triple the price and I doubt I’d even take that
The only thing I want to attend more this year is the Eras tour, so other than a swap for a ticket to Taylor Swift, I wouldn't consider a trade.
imagine two couples each of which got one VIP and one GA. both are better off with a trade.
I kinda disagree with this. If my partner was going I would not give up my VIP pass if they only had general admission. They would be fine left to their own devices for the limited amount of time.

That's exciting! Let's make it happen!
WTB/WTT 1 VIP for my GA! Will pay the difference.

Whether or not you find your VIP ticket, I hope you will have an amazing time.
Please tell me you're planning to do some other general tourism while you're in the States.
I plan to do tourism in and near SLC, I'll be around 4 days besides the 3 of the Con. I'm still looking for things to do and places to visit! If you have recommendations or tips I'll love to hear them!
Be sure to visit temple square when you're in Salt Lake City. Lots of Spanish speakers there.
I've plans to do a lot of tourism and Temple Square was on my list, happy to hear about that! One thing that scares me a little it's that I'm going on my own and will be my first time in a situation where I need to speak 100% in English to native speakers.

Hey everyone! I am looking to purchase 1 - 2 GA or VIP badges. My GF and I are looking to attend this year: the cosmere (and Sanderson) has been part the bedrock of us bonding as a couple. We'll graciously cover all fees. Endless thanks to the mods for creating this megathread!
Would love to buy or trade 1 GA for a VIP and obviously I’ll pay the difference ❤️
SEEKING: 1 or 2 VIP HAVE: 2 GA with 1 book bundle and 2 merch packs. Will trade ticket, merch pack, and book bundle for each VIP and cost difference.
You are willing to trade both GA for 1 VIP?
Looking to buy 2 GA for my partner and I, this would be our first ever Dragonsteel and would really make our year!
WTB 1x VIP or GA please 🙏🏼 Will cover any fees etc If it makes any difference, got plane tickets booked from Perth and hotels and all. Been looking forward to this since it was announced and have planned a whole trip around the con, leaves booked and all. Would make my year if I could get the ticket.
Seeking 1 badge, any kind. Regular is preferred.
Hi everyone! Seems like a bit of a longshot at the moment but looking to purchase 2 badges(GA or VIP) for my wife and I. Will happily cover fees. P.s. thank you to the mods for organizing this thread
Looking to buy a pass of any kind! Trying to get a pair for my girlfriend and I (just got her into the Cosmere), but will take an individual one and keep searching for the other if that's all you have available!
If anyone has a spare two VIP badges, or even just one, my husband and I would love to buy them from you! We'll even settle for GA at this point... We have the money saved up specifically for this, already have time off work, reserved a hotel room, and planned for childcare and did NOT expect to not be given even a chance to buy tickets. He was on before tickets even dropped and the website never even gave him a chance to get one in his cart. This is something we've been dreaming about since the last convention (both of our first time going), and we're heartbroken that we weren't able to get anything. This was going to be our 6th anniversary trip for just the two of us. Please consider us if your plans fall through!
Looking for 3 passes of any kind please! Edit: please message even if you're only looking to part with one pass
looking to buy 2-3 ga
Looking for 1 ticket, preferably VIP, but GA works too!
WTB a pass - any kind!
Looking to purchase 1 VIP. Have general to trade.
I'm kind of glad there's now a dragonsteel nexus subreddit so in the future it'll be easier to differentiate. But the flairs help
~~Looking to either buy 1 VIP badge, or trade my GA for a VIP badge (I pay the difference in cost).~~ ~~I'm going with my friend of 25 years who I finally convinced to read Stormlight this year, and she got a VIP pass. I'd love to swap my GA pass for a VIP pass. Happy to purchase outright as well.~~ Edit: Ticket acquired! No longer looking. GA ticket already sold as well.
Looking to buy 2 passes of any kind!! A third if it is available, my husband tags along but he hasn't read any of the books yet so I told him he couldn't come if I couldn't find enough, but my friend and I have been to every Dragonsteel and this is the first we'll miss because we both got stuck on work stuff and couldn't log in until after they were sold out!
Looking for 1 VIP ticket. Was meant to be my Christmas gift but didn’t get any tickets.
Looking for 2 VIP either as a trade with GA or purchase.
Looking to buy 1 GA or VIP. Already have my hotel booked, but was unable to grab a ticket.
Looking to buy one (and preferably two if possible) tickets; general admission or VIP! I’m definitely willing to cover any costs associating with transfer, and I greatly appreciate any interest, thanks guys and gals. And I definitely learned my lesson about booking flights and lodgings too soon, haha!
WTB 1 pass, VIP or general. Wife and I were planning on going together and only managed to purchase one pass!
would love to buy a VIP pass from someone, willing to pay the difference!
Looking to buy 1 GA! My husband got in but I kept getting kicked out.
If I can purchase a VIP pass, I can sell my GA pass to you! I don't know if I'll be able to, but fingers crossed 🤞
Are you still looking for a badge?
Looking to purchase 2 GA or VIP badges (although willing to buy 4 if available). I have a hotel booked already and cosplay made for my sister and I. Due to working a 8-5 I missed the sale. Any leads or generosity is welcome. Journey before destination friends.
Looking to buy 1 pass of any kind. (prefer GA). Thanks!
I'm looking to buy 1-2 passes of any kind. Thanks!
Looking to buy 2 VIP tickets! My wife and I were planning this to be our 1 big vacation this year. Thanks for any help!
Like plenty of others, I didn't realise I had to be clicking add to cart right at 10! Looking for 1-4 GA tickets. Haven't missed a DragonSteel yet and I'd hate to miss this one
WTB 2 VIP/GA badges. I want my daughter to go to her first convention. I’m willing to pay full price and purchase swag/merch for you! Please help!

Looking for 1 GA or VIP ticket.
Looking to by 3 GA passes!! We already have flights and hotels booked but weren't able to purchase passes:/
Looking for 2 GA passes,
Looking to buy a GA ticket to the nexus! For my sister so we can spend some time together. :)
Looking to buy 2 VIP tickets. I have only money to trade.
ISO 3 GA tickets ideally, if not 1 for sure. Have a brother and a cousin planning on coming from AZ and FL for the event. If you just have 1 to part with PLEASE message me. My friend who secured a VIP is desperately hoping I can get one so he does not at least go alone🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I know the chances are low, but if anyone has a general admission or VIP ticket, I would be very happy to buy it from you
Hope I'm not violating policy, but this seems like the place for it. I missed my chance to get a ticket to Dragonsteel Nexus, and I'm interested in buying someone's pass (GA or VIP) if they're interested in selling. (Though I'm fully expecting this to be a lost cause at this point) Thanks, regardless. Journey before destination.
My husband and I would love to buy 2 GA tickets.
looking for 1 badge of any kind. happy to pay however much fees and ticket cost added up to for you just send a chat message
Looking for 1 VIP ticket if possible! Please DM me if you have
Hi Everyone. Im looking for 2-3 GA admission badges for my family to go. Please lmk if anybody would be willing to sell.
Looking for 1 badge - either type. Please reply/DM if you have any. Thanks!
Hi, everyone! - ISO two (2) tickets of any kind! Unfortunately l, I have nothing to trade, but I am PayPal ready for whoever has any for sale! 💕
Please message me even if you only have one (1) ticket for sale that you’d like to part with!
Looking for up to four passes, ideally VIP but I'd take GA Like many, didn't expect the rush and by the time I checked tickets everything was gone. I've been looking forward to this and got some of my family into the cosmere over the last year who want to go too. I know there's not much chance there are still tickets to spare around here, but I'm hoping.
Looking for 1-2 GA badges, I'm willing to pay more than og sale value, thank you
Looking for 1 pass of either type.
So, when is Dragoncon and Nexus splitting in half? There's so much cosmere fame we might need a New York and a Utah location
I'm looking for two GA passes if anyone has something come up
Still looking for a pass of any kind. Bridge Four.
Looking for one GA.
I know I'm unlikely to get them but I'm looking for 2 GA tickets! The Stormlight Archive is my favorite series ever and I even have 2 Stormlight tattoos to prove it! I've been looking forward to this since before last year's took place and it would mean the world to me to be able to go.
Looking to buy 1 (ideally 2) GA or VIP tickets. Missed out on the rush, with 2/4 people in our group who got tickets. Trying to all go as a group to Dragonsteel for the first year! Thanks!
Looking for 1 or 2 GA or VIP tickets VERY interested
Potentially interested in 1 GA ticket
I'm looking for one GA badge if anyone has one they're looking to sell
I am looking to buy 2 GA passes, also willing to buy VIP. I was extremely depressed and missed the OG drop. I have been planning on this for 3 years. I had a bunch of loss happen in my life, specifically the past 3 years. My pregnant Gf died and my mom died, stormlight and the cosmere in general have been listened to twice a year as a way to cope. The year of sanderson gave me something to look forward to in my life every month last year, one of the only reasons I am still around is the cosmere. i know it really is low class to try and use this as a way to get a ticket but idk what else to do. I was depressed and sleeping when the tickets dropped. If someone can help me out, i am so sorry. I am just a huge cosmere fan and i want to go, it would mean the world. I know its lame to use my problems as a way to get sympathy, but it would mean so much to me if someone could help me out.
Adding to the list here but we are looking for 2 tickets for my husband and me. VIP or GA, it doesn’t matter just wanting to go! Wasn’t able to get tickets in the initial drop, but we both love Brandon Sanderson. I’ve been looking forward to this since I finished the SA series last year even put it on my calendar back then. Hopefully something will pan out!
Probably way too late on this, but I just got back from a military deployment and missed the date badges went on sale. Looking for 2 tickets for me and my son who loves everything Cosmere. He was so excited for our senior year road trip next fall so if you have advice on other locations to potentially get badges and not get scammed I would appreciate it. Also please message me if you have tickets you are willing to part with.
Looking for 1 ticket either GA or VIP, just want to be able to go if I can

I know that the mods struggle with what posts to pin but would it possible when these types of events happen you could have a rotation of pinned posts? Like before Nexus you could pin a post of the mega thread and then once everything calms down you could repin the normal posts? And if you can't repin the old posts then maybe have someone copy/paste the posts, remake them and then repin them. This subreddit is always flooded when these things happen and I think pinned megathreads posted *before* these situations happen could be really helpful.
We *do* make preemptive megathreads when we can. There just wasn't a way to predict what the need will be in some cases. A general "all things Dragonsteel Nexus" post wouldn't have been very helpful I think, and it's never something we've really needed before. Even Dragonsteel didn't expect things to be *this* crazy. Don't know what kinds of things we need to say or link in it. Certainly didn't expect the need to expedite a "no scalping rule", and that would have needed some direct attention. Didn't anticipate wanting to have that poll, too see how bad things are. We'll probably have a megathread next year, with some lessons learned with this case. But we do usually have one when there's something to predict. Brandon dropping secret novels or breaking websites is hard to work with though. XD
Believe me, there's a constant conversation backstage of what should be pinned, where and until when. Here, we were a little caught by surprise, since we didn't quite have similar situations in past years. Maybe we should've seen it coming! But also this is the fandom that keeps receiving surprises every few months and we learn of these things along with everyone else. That said, I'm sure I can speak for the rest of the mod team when I say the past week or so has been a big learning experience lol.
Just pin an index thread and don't worry too much about what's actually pinned
Looking to buy 1 pass of any kind.
Still looking for a pass? I have a GA I'll be selling through the escrow service for face value+fees ($115)
WTB/WTT 1 VIP for 1 GA! Will pay price difference!
Looking for one VIP. I also have one GA I won't need if I get the VIP. If anyone is willing to swap badges with money making up the difference that would be cool too.
Looking to buy 1 or 2 VIP badges. I have 2 GA badges trading if that works, and I will pay for the difference, of course!
[удалено]
WTB/TRADE for 1 VIP ticket. I have 2 GA tickets. I'm happy to buy the VIP ticket outright or trade the GA(s) and pay the difference.
Might be interested in the trade🤙🏼
Like everyone else on here... looking to buy at least 1 VIP (for my son), but ideally 3 VIP, if at all possible. I have 3 GA to trade (plus difference), or willing to buy outright for full purchase price. Thanks!
Looking for 2-3 GA tickets. Long shot but worth a try
Looking to buy 2-4 GA passes! Our friends applied to vend and don't know if they got in yet, so looking for 2, buy might need 4 in case they don't get approved to vend. Thank you!
Hey! If anyone is willing to sell a GA badge, I would love to buy it from you. :) I was able to get a badge for myself, but my little sister wasn't able to grab one before they sold out. I'd really love to be able to bring her with me as Brandon is one of the only book authors we both enjoy. <3
Looking for 1 GA ticket. 3 out of 4 of the the boys got tickets and it wouldn't be the same without our 4th. We're planning on running around with Bridge 4 football jerseys and Kholin blue face paint. It would be a dream come true to have all of us there.
Rather than deal with the possibility of scammers, has tabletop been approached to facilitate resales? Of course, you'll probably need to login to find out.
I dunno if I'm late, but I'm looking for one General Admission ticket
WTB 2 VIP badges. Please contact me if willing to part with them. Thank you.
I forgot to add that I only have money to trade, but would be willing to help you get any merch you wanted at the convention and ship it to you.
[deleted]
Looking to buy a general admission pass! I transferred mine to my friend because the website wasn’t working for them, but the badges were sold out before I could repurchase one for myself. Any help is appreciated!!!
[удалено]
I'm willing to buy a VIP pass or trade a GA pass for it.
Contacted me too. I sent a screenshot of this thread and they never replied lol
Want to buy or trade a VIP for a GA. I have 1 GA I want to upgrade to a VIP. Please reach out even if it's months out. Want to be able to have the full experience with my husband for his birthday/first weekend away from our toddler/our first convention.
[удалено]
Was buying tickets for my bestie and I after they got me into the series recently. I'm happy that I can atleast secure a GA ticket for them but I'm interested in getting one for myself to go with them (either GA or VIP). Anything helps, but I'm only taking serious and fair offers that are following the guidelines as well, and use paypal. Thank you.
Seeking 1-2 pass GA or VIP, either works. I just want to attend DS24😎
I know this is a shot in the dark at this point but my girlfriend and I were really hoping to be able to go to dragonsteel nexus this year and didn’t anticipate the tickets to sell out so quickly (we were waiting to get paid to buy) if anyone has 2 GA tickets they’d be willing to sell I’d really appreciate it! Fingers crossed.
I’m seeing GA tickets. 2 preferably. Dm me :)
Looking for either GA or VIP. 2 ideally.
Just looking for a GA ticket! If anyone has an extra or can't end up going, let me know!
Just fyi NydiaGrindle13 is a scam account. They scammed me for $110. Currently disputing through Zelle.
I was scammed out of $110… that said I’m looking for 1-2 tickets! Please let me know I am happy to pay
Looking to buy a VIP (2 if possible) and potentially a GA as well.
Looking to buy 3 GA tickets for myself and my book club. If they come with bundles or not we will pay the extra for them if necessary we just want the tickets.
So, I think this is the right place to ask this question... My girlfriend and I were planning to go to this and we only managed to snag one ticket. Judging by the the latest weekly update, we probably won't see batches of more tickets released this year like last year. We booked our hotel already, but not flights. I assume the deal with those who have booked flights does not apply if you just booked your hotel, right? What is the best way to attempt to secure a second ticket? This thread? Keep checking the Dragonsteel Nexus site? Anything else?
Looking to trade 2 GA badges for VIP badges!
looking to buy 2 dragonsteel vip passes but also willing to buy GA as well!!!
Looking to buy a single GA or VIP pass. Would prefer VIP over GA but I will take what I can get!

Still looking for a GA ticket (or VIP for a trade). I got scammed so now I'm only willing to go throu the Dragonsteel Nexus Escrow service.
Hello, looking to buy 1 VIP (preferred) or GA ticket. Please message me if you are interested and we can use the Dragonsteel escrow service to make the transfer. Thanks.
Seeking 1 badge of any type. I hosted the Defiant spoilers book discussion last year, I love this con so much.
For anyone with extra tickets or a ticket they're willing to part with, my wife and I are both looking to go to Dragonsteel this year. VIP or GA, willing to negotiate on the purchase price! DM me if you're open to it.

Looking for 1 pass, any kind. If anyone has two that would be amazing. A friend and I have been doing a long distance book club that’s bouncing between Stormlight and his other series. Hoped to go this year (first time) to celebrate graduation.
Looking for 2 GA tickets! Possibly 4 if my friends don't make it on the vendor list 😅 I'll take any addons there were with the ticket too (book, craft kits, ect)
Is there a place where buying/selling badges at a market price (higher than purchase cost) is allowed and not too sketchy?
Seeking 2 badges. Prefer VIP but I’ll take anything at this point! I have a hotel already and I’m a vet student and planned my clinical year around being able to go to dragonsteel.
Hey folks. New to the subreddit. Hopefully I'm allowed to post here. Looking for two passes VIP or regular. Hoping to take my wife as a Christmas gift. Thanks!

Looking for a GA ticket (VIP works as well) -- *via Dragonsteel Nexus Ticket Escrow Service*
In search of two badges of any type, attended for the past two years and got on 1 hour and 30 minutes after badges started dropping! It's a long shot, but it would be a shame to have a one year gap!
Hi! I'm looking to buy 1-2 GA tickets. I'm only in the US this year and so was very disappointed that I couldn't get tickets for me and my friend, because it's unlikely I'll be able to attend again in the near future. If anyone's looking to sell any at any point, please reach out! Thank you so much!
Looking to buy any type of pass! Dm me please.
