Bargain Community

Finding cheap things to do can be difficult depending on how hard you are willing to look. For Orlando, the big thing to do is to go to Disney. Disney is the biggest attraction here in Orlando. Buying tickets from Disney itself is quite expensive. Ever looked for other ways to get tickets? Alternative ways of finding tickets can save you so much- giving you more spending money. Craigslist is a great way to find practically anything you need. Craigslist is basically an online market for the community. Anyone can advertise things from jobs to music gigs. Craigslist includes categories such as: community, housing, jobs, personals, for sale, discussion forums, services, gigs, and a place for resumes. The community market is given to all relatively big cities. You find the biggest city near you and search the market for areas near you. For our scenario, we would use the “for sale” category. There is a subcategory called “tickets”. Advertised here are tickets placed at very low rates. For Orlando much of the tickets include Disney and Sea World. There are the occasional concert tickets. Josh Groban is performing here in Orlando on Sat, Oct. 29. On ticketmaster, tickets can range from $30-$80. Tickets are advertised on craigslist much cheaper, including presidential suites for $65. Craigslist does have its ups and downs. There is a lot of fraud surrounding that market. Many people have lost money, gotten stolen, and sometimes even murdered. I believe much of that crime was done due to people not being aware. EHow gives a list of ways to protect yourself when using craigslist. I would advise anyone using this market to review the list. I don’t think you should be afraid to use this market--just make sure you are taking the precautions needed. Craigslist is a great way to save money on all adventures.
