Who has used seatgeek, vivid seats, stubhub, etc.? Tips recommendations?

I have never used anything but Ticketmaster. I know I don’t get out much. But I need tickets to something and might go this route.

Go on. I’ve never even heard of that and honestly that sounds sketch. Does it come with std tested?
They set up in a building nearby Sprint. I haven't been down for a couple years though so I'm not sure if they still have a huge presence or not.

I voted stubhub because that’s the one I use most. I have used a lot of 3 party ticket outlets and have not really had any issues.

I also have the Gametime app for tickets. I like that one a lot as well.

I would never be worried about using any reputable outlet. You’ll be covered.

I’ve used them all, but recently using the Gametime app with some success. If you can find some promo codes you’re set
 
I think I have used them all a time or here or there. Never really had any problems. Just fees. LOL. They all seem to be about the same I guess. I think with instant delivery and digital tickets it has gotten better, quicker and easier. If you have used one those you list are all basically the same system.
 
Tickets for less seems to have less fees. Good for KC area games.

Stubhub is the only one of the voting options I've used. I like you usually do ticketmaster as well though
 
I've used them all, plus several not listed here: Tickpick, Tickets For Less, Ticket Boat, Razor Gator, etc. I've only had problems with Seatgeek and Tickets For Less. Seatgeek sold me tickets in a section that didn't exist, but I caught it before the event and filed a claim that took a month to get my money back and I won't use them again. Tickets For Less is a broker in a pool and they sold me tickets that they didn't have and couldn't deliver. They refunded right away, but were huge jerks about it and their guarantee is worthless. I've used them since, but always while holding my nose. I prefer Tickpick and then Stubhub, but will even use ebay if the price is right.

On the fees, it's pretty easy. The fees are either built in or published. A lower price with higher fees is still a lower price, pretty simple stuff.
 
If it's anything ISU related I check here first to avoid the fees. Never once had a problem with anyone acting sketchy but can't speak for others.

For anything else is ticketmaster. Barstool likes to promote Gametime but that app had fees up the wazoo

They are KC's largest local broker. They have an exclusive deal with the Chiefs. Not sketch, just not a big "national" brand.

Less fees but the base prices are usually higher to compensate. The lone exception is when they own the inventory. For Chiefs Tickets For Less has/had like 16000 season tickets. I'm guessing that number has dwindled the last few years, but they own the lions share of tickets on the secondary market. Due to their exclusive Chiefs agreement they are the only brokerage that can KNOWINGLY (key word) sell tickets and not get them canceled.
