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

HarlemCoug Intervention Needed

couple hundred bucks to a 3rd party seller like Seatgeek.

Fortunately prices continue to fall - so at least BYU fans will be paying less overall than they would have otherwise.....

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.

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.

I'm curious how did it go down?

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

FrontLineFan

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?

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

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

ManicBlue

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!

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

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

cougarblue

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

HarlemCoug

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

TCuz

“Who cares what the fees are?” 🤣

Shawarma

2:52pm

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

TCuz

2:56pm

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

Shawarma

3:10pm

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

TCuz

3:14pm

The quotes are because you say funny things.

Shawarma

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

WaffleCheese

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

TCuz

3:19pm

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

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

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

WaffleCheese

2:38pm

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

RealityCheck

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

WaffleCheese

3:24pm

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

maxpowers

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

DJROSS

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

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