The r/OutsideLands subreddit is buzzing with warnings after a user named u/SummerRayneDuhh was publicly called out for scamming multiple festival-goers. The allegations include accepting PayPal payments for wristbands but never delivering them—which several others quickly confirmed happening to them as well.
Community members are urging extreme caution in the days leading up to Outside Lands, which is now just around the corner. Comments emphasize sticking to verified sources and platforms when buying tickets or wristbands. Several recommend meeting sellers face-to-face before handing over payment.
- Purchase tickets or wristbands only from official or verified platforms.
- If buying from individuals, meet in person to confirm legitimacy before payment.
- Opt for PayPal Goods & Services payments to utilize buyer protection against scams.
- Keep an eye on subreddit updates and official festival channels for scam alerts.
Subreddit moderators have acknowledged the scam reports and hinted at launching an investigation. They’re also considering adopting a scammer list similar to the one maintained by the r/Coachella community, which could provide ongoing protection during ticket exchange seasons.
With Outside Lands fast approaching, this wave of scam warnings serves as a critical reminder: vigilance is essential to avoid falling victim while securing your festival experience.
