how does it work when you buy of Stubhub? The tickets are instant download and electronic.

and ticketmaster says:

"Some locations are CREDIT CARD ENTRY only; RESTRICTIONS APPLY: CREDIT CARD USED FOR PYMT AND ID REQ'D TO ENTER; TICKET IS NON TRANSFERABLE."

could this be a problem?

Do other third-party retailers like Ticketcity work equally as well?

I've used VividSeats twice in the past year, and it's been a relatively easy experience. Plus, they seem to have a lot of targeted ads for $10 ticket prices over $50, which helps to negate their service fee.

Stubhub is reputable, your tickets should be fine.

And Stubhub has great insurance. They are excellent when it comes to refunds due to fraud or anything like that. We get a lot of people here with tickets they bought on Stubhub and even if we can't locate the tickets/order or whatever, Stubhub is always really helpful to the customer. Very customer friendly.

I'm glad Stardog has had good experiences with Vivid. A lot of the brokers we deal with use that site to resell tickets. But I will say, fwiw, most of the problems we have with third party sellers are tickets bought from Vivid.

I'm really hoping Amazon Tickets will disrupt this whole system

I think we should go back to waiting in line overnight at the box office.

When I was in college (2001) and the Mariners were having that amazing season, at one point they put playoff tickets up for sale and a few guys in my frat got involved in a scheme to go camp out and buy up as many tix as possible for scalping purposes. At least they weren't robots!

Spoiler: show

Either that, or give priority based on the zip code of the billing address for the credit card being used for purchase online.

Anybody use sites like ticketnetwork?
