I will be in Vegas 02/20-02/22 and can get 2 comp tickets to Penn and Teller for any time through Wednesday 2/27. The cheapest tickets are $75 at the box office though to be fair I am sure they can be gotten for less. I would be very happy to get $50 for them but would consider lower offers. They usually give me pretty good seats and If anyone is interested PM me, I would prefer to make the exchange in person in Las Vegas.

Sorry to disappoint but...

If these are the monthly Total Rewards free show tickets, they are stamped with a face value of $15.

Usually, I get more value by using them as Craigslist date bait.

Yeah, do not try to get $50 for them. Tried that before and failed . . . take whatever you can get.

Example: Gweilo seeking Gweipor for night out, including tickets for Penn & Teller at the Rio, and maybe more...

It actually does work. Lots of married "weekend warrior chicks" in Vegas do prowl Craigslist. Think of it as an "Advantage Play." :)

Yeah, and once in a while you get Manti Teo's "girlfriend" taking the ticket.

I am guessing that is the value CET uses in their books for the comp? How much do these seats typically go for full retail?

I would be interested in seeing this show in the future, but not in Vegas this week, and probably not until summer at the minimum. :( But I'd definitely pay more than $15/ea, obv.

With the "book value" printed on the tickets, it would be awfully hard to convince someone to pay more. On the other hand, I recently got comped tickets for Zarkana and MGM had stamped the value as $180.
