I’ve purchased from them before no issues but I always try to go with Ticketmaster to avoid headaches

Thought the same thing.  With seats still available, they are trying to slow down sales on the secondary market.

Thats what it is, they dont want someone going out and buying a seat for cheap that was already sold.  They want you to go and buy a seat that hasnt been sold yet.  I always buy from a site (Ticketmaster, vivid seats, seat geek) and I never had a problem when getting into the game or concert. 

 

I hope there arent too many issues with that tomorrow, would be a shame to get to the game tailgate, and then not be able to get in.

who buys tickets on "social media"?

In this age of digital tickets ("your phone is your ticket"), how the hell are "fraudulent tickets" a thing?  They're transferred through the app.  I could see scams for "give me the money and I'll totally transfer the tickets to you", but fake tickets?  No.

The issue is it is a monopoly which is illegal which no one I have heard has taken to court.

I didn't think the team app was considered social media as facebook, twitter, tik tok, etc are.

Social media is the last place I would buy a ticket. It’s not like the olden days when you could get a real paper ticket from a crackhead on Abbott Road.  Miss those guys; great customer service.

OMG I just bought a whole row of tickets off social media!!  You mean those are all no good ????  😳

 

Ooops, didn't turn off the sarcasm button.  😉

Funny, I've had tickets posted here for days with plenty of lookers but no buyers.  But when I decided to post them in the ticket exchange (Ticketmaster), they sold within 10 minutes. 

 

I know the Bills are saying that sellers are more legit on Ticketmaster, but I say, so are the buyers!  LOL

I always found it funny when there would be one guy holding a "I Need Tickets" sign and 10 feet away from him is another guy holding a "I Have Tickets" sign.

There is a Bills run Season Ticket group on FB, where people are constantly trying to sell/buy tickets.  Whomever is running it from the office is constantly reminding people they can't sell tickets in the group.
