FOMO is a feeling that we’re all familiar with. We’ve all waited too long to nab tickets to a concert or event for one reason or another and immediately launched into the last-minute internet scramble to try and find someone flogging tickets.

As InTheMix reports, that’s precisely what hard-style fans around Sydney are doing right now. They’re just one sleep away from Knockout Circuz, one of the biggest hard-style events of the year, and it’s, as they say in the biz, exhausted its allocation.

Punters are getting understandably desperate and have taken to the event’s official Facebook event page to offer just about everything imaginable bar a human sacrifice for tickets, from money to free haircuts and Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

However, Gumtree seller Alex isn’t much of an anime fan and instead has a series of very specific stipulations that must be adhered to if a purchaser wishes to secure his offer of two Knockout Circuz tickets at cost price.

What would one have to do? Well, for starters, you’ll have to cook Alex breakfast before singing the national anthem and losing to him in a game of Mario Kart. You’ll then participate in some light stretching and a quick dance move rehearsal.

“You will then take me to the event. Once at the doors we say our tearful goodbyes as I present the tickets,” Alex writes in his ad, which he notes has received quite a few responses, though few have taken note of the stipulations.

“Guys… I have recieved numerous responses to this ad, 90% making no mention of the special requirements, listed above,” Alex writes. “Please be creative with your responses, as I will take this into consideration.”

And before you think the whole thing might spiral into some sort of strange Saw-type situation, Alex insists he’s on the level. “I’m 23, not a sleeze and have a girlfriend. My mates got rostered on to work,” he writes.
