Title: Stubhub/TM question
Post by Starbuck on May 26^th, 2022 at 8:10am

Morning all

In a massive attempt to give my daughter taste in music (she currently loves modern country and I am feeling Child Protection might take her away from me if they find out), I am flying her to Orlando to see Macca this Saturday night. Stub hub has floor tix for $200 but they are "mobile transfer" and not the "instant download" i have used in the past. Is this safe? I am a technology idiot and can barely turn on my phone. This is high stress.

Also, rain is forecast for Orlando on Saturday....which is also high stress....

The mobile transfer is almost the same as instant download.
The diff (I used this last month) if I recall, is that the owner of the ticket
will approve them to send her the ticket after he approves the sale.
Usually within 10 min...I think they want to see the money in their account first.

Its that simple.

You're a good dad!!

Most venues are mobile only now and the tickets have rotating barcodes so screenshot doesn't work.

Basically you are getting a Ticketmaster transfer from the seller.d

Also has a longtime buyer and seller on the secondary market I recommend buying Tickpick first, VividSeats second. Avoid Stubhub entirely if possible.

Thanks for the advice!

Unfortunately I did go stubhub, but 15th row tickies on the floor were only $681 for two, which is significantly cheaper than other venues on this tour. And my daughter loved the show.

I on the other hand have to admit....Macca is an old man. He can't hit the notes he could hit when he was 25, although he is still sharp on guitar/bass/piano. Why he chooses to do songs like I've Got a Feeling, Helter Skelter and others that are arguably the most difficult songs to sing I have no idea. Wix, Abe, Brian and Rusty are still top notch though and pulled him through.

If only I would have remembered where I had parked....my daughter and I would have had an extra hour of sleep....
