Cheap Halloween CostumesWritten by Kathryn Finney

Game Show Host and Pretty Helper Girl. This is a perfect costume for couples. Head out to your nearest thrift store and find cheesiest late 70s/early 80s polyester, double knit suit ensemble for men and 80s deranged bridesmaid dress for women. Purchase a children’s play microphone (Target has some for super cheap prices). Buy cheapest hair spray you can find (All Net is good) and tease your hair like you are from Jersey shore. Get a piece of cardboard, cut out a star about 8 inches in diameter and glue on gold glitter. Write word “Grand Prize” in silver. To keep you smiling for entire night, try this beauty pageant trick- put Vaseline underneath your upper lip. $60.00-$100 for both costumes, depending on whether or not your show picks-up for another season. With A Group of Friends: Sloth. This is easiest and cheapest costume. Don’t wash your hair or take a shower for two days, roll out of bed in your PJs and you are set! This costume is particularly effective if you get six friends to go as other six deadly sins: greed, envy, wrath, gluttony, pride and lust. Total Outfit cost- $0, depending on how sinful you are willing to get. 1970’s Television Family. There are so many great ones to choose from: Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, Evan’s family from Good Times, Donny and Marie Osmond, and Jeffersons. The family you chose depends on make-up of your group of friends, but putting together outfits is almost as much fun as actual Halloween event itself. Make a date and head straight to your local thrift store or your parent’s closet. Total Outfit Cost- $20.00 and up, depending on how “dy-no-mite” you want to be.

b) You'll pay more on ebay. Absolutely. Get quality seats, know exactly where your seats are. Don't pay double for 'nosebleed seats' way up top. Here's rules on selling tickets (Quote)When selling a ticket on eBay for an event taking place in a regulated state, sellers are required to disclose face value of each ticket (face value includes price of ticket and any service charge and tax charged by original ticket provider that is printed on ticket). Sellers misrepresenting face value of their tickets may have their listing ended, may be permanently suspended from eBay, and may be subject to criminal prosecution. For resale of tickets with a face value of $300 or more per ticket (ONLY if event occurs in a regulated state), sellers must include proof of ticket face value in item description in form of a partial scan of actual ticket - clearly showing face value and event date - or else risk having listing ended. Be safe, on my website is a link to rules for ticket sales in every state. It covers buyer or seller, in or out of state purchases, and regulations for each state.
