What Are People Offering For Kanye Tickets?

A reader tells us he put one ticket to tonight's Kanye West concert at Bowery Ballroom on Craigslist, and has received a number of interesting offers in response. Here are some:

courtside Knicks tickets
one gift certificate for a premium NYC Rub 'n Tug
introductions to "cool good-looking available ladies"
tickets to the semi-finals and finals of the Final four
free haircuts for a year at a boutique barbershop/salon in the East Village
Cash amounts over $700
120GB iPod with "47,000 songs"
a place to stay for Mardi Gras in New Orleans
2 Romeo No. 3 Cuban Cigars, by Romeo y Julieta
Dinner for two at Le Bernadin
Free Christmas trees for life (plus face value of ticket and "a Michael Jordan Come Fly With Me Collector's edition VHS")
my brother's girlfriend

He posted three listings—with one stating the ticket is $1,000 and another stating he does "NOT want cash offers. i only want offers of material possessions, goods, tickets, experiences, sexual favors, etc. anything that you think will entice me." Anyway, he told us he would "most likely end up giving [the ticket] to my brother for his birthday." So yeah, other Craigslist posters, I'mma let you finish but this guy is kind of the biggest douche on Craigslist right now.

I was hoping someone can go into a bit more detail on the tug part of the rub n tug.

Who's the bigger douche, the guy who put up the Craigslist ad, or the regional blog that highlighted it?

He probably turned down Carlson's offer of a scrunchee and a used coloring book.

DOA FLOATER

wait, you just called this unidentified CL poster a douche? after he thought up a totally clever idea and then handed you a ready-made post for your douchebag blog? I don't get it.

The only thing worse than paying to see kanye is paying to see p giddy or piddy or giggy or whatever the fuck he calls himself now. Word my ngga.
