Never underestimate the power of nostalgia. Or emo, for that matter. When Brand New began playing full sets of their 2003 classic, Deja Entendu, there’d been a significant bump in interest from their rabid fanbase. And while they’re still winding their way through America on their current tour, demand for their tickets soon began to outpace supply.

Shows sold out. And people got desperate for Brand New tickets. Very desperate.

As the B9 board points out—and if you’re not familiar with the legendary hardcore message board, you should get on it—two posts emerged on Craigslist in California, detailing some of the unsavoury acts people would do for Brand New tickets. Quite simply, people are willing to sell their bodies in exchange for a glimpse of Lacey performing “Okay, I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don’t.”

Here are the posts, which walk the line between serious and parody. The first comes from a straight female “willing to lower her standards.”

The second comes from a straight male who’s willing to “put some asshole’s dirty dick in my mouth,” in exchange for tickets to Brand New’s back-to-back performances.

Ever the jokesters, the B9 board also responded. “It would definitely be one of those quiet things that no one ever knows about me if I did,” wrote user CREATEXCONTROL. Meanwhile, user conradmurray quipped, “God and the semen are raging inside me.”

So, what do you think? Would you sleep with a stranger for concert tickets? Or to hear this song live?
