But you do realize that he CAN scam you, right? As far as I know, he can easily just report his tickets as being lost or stolen and be sent another pair or w/e...So you are basically just putting your trust into this guy; I honestly wouldn't be worried about it if I were you, but just letting you know that it's possible.
This is true. I've sold my games 1 and 2 to people off craigslist, and game 5 was sold via stubhub. If I really wanted to be a prick I could call my account rep and void games 1 and 2. With stubhub if for any reason the tickets are cancelled or declined, I'm on the hook because stubhub has my credit card number. The buyer is then compensated with equal value tickets.
As someone on the other side of the transaction, here is what I do for those buying playoff tickets from me:
-Show them my drivers license, match it with my Canucks ID card.
-Show my email notification from the Canucks stating that $X amount will be taken out on my visa for playoff round X.
-Show that the visa transaction has been taken out on my visa
-Rip playoff tickets out of the season ticket holder booklets, in front of them.
If someone else wants more proof then that, I tell them to take a hike because if he doesn't buy them, someone else will. Most sellers won't do any of what I've listed above, I only do this for playoffs since the cost goes up significantly and I know most buyers are nervous. Personally, I don't want any of my buyers wanting to worry about anything and I'll do what I can to put them at ease. I still have my regular buyers that call me for the regular season so there's a trust relationship built there.
But even with all of the proof I can show the buyer, it takes me 1 phone call to say "can you cancel my games 1 and 2 tickets? Thanks". If you're going to buy tickets, at least get the sellers DL# so you have something to follow up with.

I usually just ask if I could pick up the tickets from their home or workplace, then ask for their DL to verify their address or business card/company ID, that way if something goes wrong I know where to find them. I highly doubt someone would break into someone's house or pretend to work somewhere just to sell fake hockey tickets, but I guess anything is possible.
To lighten the mood, here is an out take on this commercial, LOL at Bieska!

I bought SCF Game 1 last year for $1200 for the pair. I googled the seller and the company he owns. Didn't think he will screw me for $1200 when I can always go back to his business for a "refund".
The same seats would have costed me $2000-$2500 for the pair off ticketexchange on ticketmaster, or stubhub.
