But there are things you can do to help prevent scams.

Never risk-free but relatively safe.

Is it the only best option with no equal or 1a/1b?

Stubhub and Ticketmaster also have money back guarantees. They can't guarantee that you get into the game, but they

This is where I got my 6. Easy purchase.

This. Done it multiple times

Safest is seatgeek. But they are charging over 50% fees for this game. Avoid them and go to KSL or CB. Buying on KSL

KSL is how I got the stolen tickets.

FrontLineFan

Things work differently 20 years later. Much safer now. Still though - for some the insurance is worth paying an extra

HarlemCoug

Nov 1, 2:29pm

Tickets are generally digital now. Aren't you pretty sure you have a real ticket

We got scammed out of a couple hundred from a KSL listing last year.

I'm curious how did it go down?

DJROSS

Met the guy at a parking lot & exchanged the paper tix for cash.

FrontLineFan

Nov 1, 3:44pm

So the tickets were real, just stolen. I guess you could request proof of purchase next time as well

DJROSS

Did you also have to leave the stadium, it did they help you out?

People around us (all Ute fans) made room and we stayed.

This is good.I just remembered 06 was at RES, so different management.

Ticketmaster for the game is safe as the Uofu uses Ticketmaster.

Wait for people to offer them for sale here on CB.

ManicBlue

Nov 1, 2:21pm

Yeah, safe method is Seatgeek, Ticketmaster, Stubhub etc.

The big ticket apps have always worked for me

A site that guarantees their tickets. Seat Geek, Ticketmaster, Stubhub, etc.

30% ($30?) per ticket processing fee baby! Talk about a ripoff!

Shawarma

Nov 1, 2:22pm

Their fees fluctuate, but right now they are charging over 50%. They are charging the buyer 40% of the sales price and

HarlemCoug

You'll probably find them cheaper on KSL but there's no way to guarantee that the owner will transfer the tickets

cougarblue

Nov 1, 2:30pm

Perhaps pay for one ticket - then have them send you one ticket - once you've got that one ticket then get the next???

HarlemCoug

Nov 1, 2:31pm

SeatGeek is the answer. Look at the final price, who cares what the fees are.

TCuz

Nov 1, 2:35pm

“Who cares what the fees are?” 🤣

Shawarma

Nov 1, 2:52pm

Nobody. Don’t look. Look only with fees included.

TCuz

Nov 1, 2:56pm

So you think it’s ok to pay a 50% markup “for the use of the app?”

Shawarma

Nov 1, 3:10pm

1. Sure, again, I don’t care. 2. lol, why is that in quotes?

TCuz

Nov 1, 3:14pm

The quotes are because you say funny things.

Shawarma

Nov 1, 3:39pm

100 dollars plus 150 shipping is the same as 250 and free shipping.

WaffleCheese

Nov 1, 3:15pm

SeatGeek does show you the final price up front. Change your settings.

TCuz

Nov 1, 3:19pm

Agreed. I always just include the fees. If it's not worth that total price to

yes. I once had a scare where I thought I forgot to send concert tickets I had

RoboKayne

Use Seat Geek. Or do KSL knowing you are rolling the dice.

OPINIONS

Nov 1, 2:36pm

Do you really trust a Ute to be honest in a financial transaction?

WaffleCheese

Nov 1, 2:38pm

So, which young wizard will start a block-chain for tickets that has $1 transaction fee? Is there already something?

RealityCheck

Nov 1, 2:48pm

I think you just solved e-commerce. Where do I invest?

WaffleCheese

Nov 1, 3:24pm

tickpick has the lowest fees that I've seen in general

maxpowers

Nov 1, 3:00pm

I was going to say the same

MaxxPower

Nov 1, 6:43pm

With KSL my success has been through face to face hand offs vs digital on tickets. I usually pay slightly more

DJROSS

Nov 1, 3:32pm

A lot has changed in 20 years haha. I think you’ll be alright.

If buying on KSL, use PayPal Goods & Services or buyer protection on Venmo

Cougs4Lfe

Nov 1, 4:19pm

I can connect you with a legit KSL seller if you wanna avoid fees
