JCBoston Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I've purchased secondary market tickets in the past on Ticketmaster, and the "official" status (and the ability for me to manage my tickets through the Bills app) is reassuring to me. But I can find cheaper prices on Seatgeek or StubHub (looking in particular for the Browns game). How is the experience at the gate with tickets on these other platforms?

boyst Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 other platforms are just fine. they now work with the nfl and teams to make sure you can get in and the tickets are valid. i had issues at carolina in the preseason and went to the TO and got my tickets sent to me from them via text.

Boatdrinks Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Fine with Vivid Seats. Usu lower fees than Seatgeek or Hub. Prob not as low as Ticketmaster though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damj Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Check with the guys on Abbott Road with the "Buying Tickets / Selling Tickets" cardboard signs. They look legit to me. The good ones take credit cards!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 On the flipside of this what is the best platform to put tickets up for sale? Not sure if I'm going to be able to make it to the Green Bay game and I usually just sell games that I can't make to friends but the resale value of these tickets is through the roof right now so I might try to put them up and see what I can get.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Used SeatGeek for the first time for the Baltimore Game - was fine. Gametime looks to be another app that seems trustworthy although from what I've seen what you save by their "last minute" business model you lose in even higher fees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the tickets listed on StubHub are bots, listing tickets from Ticketmaster, that they will buy and seel you at a higher price the moment you purchase them on StubHub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. Never experienced that bit honestly I dont shop around that much as I always have found what I want on Stub Hub. I am admittedly a seat snob and mostly get club level even for Bills Pats playoff game last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesus Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I checked on Sunday before the game from 8 am until noon to see if ticket prices would drop and was surprised they didn't drop. A few went on for like $150 each but most remained around $300 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I removed my listing from TM, a few minutes later the listing disappeared from SH. Put them back on TM, and they reappeared on SH. I could even raise my TM price, and the price on SH would go up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I bought two tix for Steelers game on craigslist, no ripoff ticketmaster price gouging fees. Just make sure you use paypal goods and services to send your money NOT the normal friends/family where you just send someone you know money. Paypal wont protect you otherwise. What you do is have the seller send you a simple invoice via paypal, it takes less than a minute, then you just pay it and the seller transfers your tix. If the seller wont do the invoice via paypal they're likely a scammer. FYI I would say about a quarter of the tickets being sold by individuals for Sundays game were scammers. Be sure to speak with them over the phone and look out for the cheap priced ones in prime locations. p.s. ticketmaster charges ridiculous fees, its unethical and predatory pricing. Try to avoid them whenever possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I’ve heard it’s iffy. Wasn’t there a post on this forum a few weeks ago where someone couldn’t get into the Titans game after buying tickets on StubHub? They spent an hour talking to customer service before heading to a bar instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I've gone to 2 games this year. For the NYG I bought on Ticket Exchange from Ticketmaster and was able to put it in my digital wallet. No problem at the gate. For the Bills game in Baltimore I used Seat Geek. I couldn't figure out how to put it in the wallet, but their app worked fine at the stadium and we had no problem at the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolfootball1963 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I use tick pick there are no buyer fees. The price you see is what you will pay.
