How to get tickets to a concert if they're already sold out?
A guy got sick, and I'm left holding a ticket. I read that there are some secondary ticket markets out there. Where can I find a ticket for a sold-out concert and is it safe to do so?

Yandex.Afisha or specialized sites like Ticketland do exist, but they're full of scammers and resellers marking up prices several times over. If you decide to look there, check the seller's reviews, ask for a photo of the ticket before paying, and try to meet in person if possible. It'd be more honest to write to the official support of the concert organizers - sometimes they release additional batches of tickets or have resale through an official channel. Also try just showing up at the box office on the day of the concert - sometimes people don't come or cancel at the last minute.
Secondary markets like Avito, Yandex.Market (they have a tickets section) or specialized sites like Ticketmaster - that's where you find resales, and it's generally safe if you check the seller and make sure the ticket isn't blocked by the organizers! The main thing is not to overpay like crazy and read reviews, but it's best to look for tickets straight on the concert organizer's website, you often find hidden seats or last-minute returns there!
