Taylor Swift trip. I hate Poland. Everyone tries to scam you

[Anonymous]

I agree with OP..Poland was a disaster. Every single thing from ordering food, to kiosks to tours to people on the streets... everyone is really trying to screw you.

I haven’t been to Poland so can’t opine on that end, but we’ve had issues with StubHub here in the U.S. I avoid Stubhub.

What? When and where did you go?

OP should have stayed at a decent chain hotel walking distance from the concert and left just about immediately after. There’s nothing worth seeing really (could’ve made a pivot to more interesting euro countries if they wanted to).

I can’t tell if you’re a troll or just the biggest idiot on DCUM.

^^PS, also Ukrainian drivers would not try to scam you, but they are sometimes confused because they may not have driven in Warsaw for long, as you may have heard their country is at war and many people rotate to the front. But as long as they are there to get you as close as possible to your bargain basement Taylor seats, am I right?!

What does the war have to do with scamming tourists?

Also, should not be the young men be at war defending their country instead of driving cabs in Warsaw?

Anyway, I can tell the difference between Ukrainians and Pols, so no worries there.

You can’t even spell Poles.

Hope your unattractive brood feels great about stealing seats from local Swifties who could no longer afford it. And next time, don’t say you’re from DC because that’s not where you live

Again, my tickets were resale tickets that a local bought and sold at 3 times the original price. So no sympathy there.

You’re still a tool

We left Poland and are back in the states. Never coming back

Did you manage to do anything cultural or historic during your visit? If so, what?

Give an interview to Daily Mail

We went on a tour of Auschwitz, a tour of Wolf’s Lair (Hitler’s HQ for Eastern Front), a quick visit to Krakow and a tour of Wieliczka Salt Mine. We also went to a small Chopin concert. All in a week. Touristy things.

I bet you took selfies or your DD and friends did
Ew

This-- everyone blaming OP for buying the tickets really need to blame the system that allows tickets to be sold and resold this way. It's a tale as old as time... er... ticketmaster

Who do you blame for human trafficking? I mean the guy isn’t the pimp but he’s the John for whom the system was built.

OP I don’t doubt it. You really are a tool. 500 people on daily mail can’t all be wrong

Half of the people posting here are Russian trolls. Stop engaging with them.

FWIW, I lived in Lviv and spent a lot of time in Krakow. Both are lovely cities.
