Pair of concert tickets to Red River Festival
Description
I found two glossy concert tickets this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the USM Student Union on West 4th Street in Hattiesburg, Southwest MS. They're for the Red River Festival, printed on white stock with a red logo, about 6 by 2.5 inches, and they have a perforated stub. Seats are Section B, Row 12, Seats 12A and 12B; the barcode is still visible but the edges show a slight crease. One ticket has a tiny blue 'VIP' sticker on the back; the other has a small pencil doodle of a guitar in the corner and a faint coffee stain on the back. They look to be in good condition overall. I know how easy it is to misplace something like this, so I figured someone might be worried and want them back.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
