Thanks for the info! Have you bought tickets on Vividseats before? I don't really trust that it says the ticket will be deliverer to your phone on the day of show, or max. 3 days before the show...this sounds to me that those people re-selling the tickets don't even have them yet themselves but already are selling them...so what happens if they can't get them themselves in the first place to then deliver them? We'll be travelling across the pond and then stand in front of the stadium ticketess, not gonna risk that...I just don't understand why there are no direct transfers available, or next to none, maybe 4 tickets in an entire stadium out of all that are being sold promise a direct transfer, all others are on-day delivery or even worse, local pick-up, which is even dumber, cannot have some rando walk me into the stadium with his mobile and then leave, what if they wanna check again inside?!
Ever since the exchanges changed their payment terms in 2020 to after event, sellers transfer the tickets as late as possible (so if the exchange goes out of business they aren't out tickets). Now if someone is using VividSeats proprietary point of sale system Skybox, they get paid on delivery and may transfer right away.
I rarely buy more than a few hours though.
I would recommend completely avoiding Stubhub. If you don't believe me, spend 5 mins on the Stubhub reddit. I use Tickpick 1st, Vivid 2nd, mainly Vivid is easier to navigate on my phone but final purchase may be same ticket on Tickpick which uses both all in pricing and is still honoring my broker discount tho I haven't sold in about 2 years.
