Ticket Pirates take:
Price - This is where Puchasetix seems to excel (as well as the other broker sites powered by TicketNetwork Direct do). Since TicketNetwork Direct offers such an efficient and innovative business model, the mark-up is left up to the owner of the site. Puchasetix, seems to offer the lowest price from the other brokers in the TicketNetwork Direct circle, as well as lower then most ticket brokers in general.
Service Fees - Puchasetix charges the standard 15% service fee. This is right about average with its competitors.
Delivery Fees - Purchasetix uses FedEx to deliver the tickets. Depending on where how you fast you want your tickets, the charge can be from $15.00-$30.00.
Reputation - TicketNetwork Direct has a very good reputation and although puchasetix tries to identify itself as a different website, purchasetix really is just TicketNetwork Direct in makeup.
Customer Service - Purchasetix give TicketNetwork Direct's number in which they guarantee all ticket sales and offers customer service through a call center that is open every day from 7am-1am (ET).
Extra Thoughts - TicketNetwork Direct powers many ticket broker sites like purchasetix and wehaveseats. Therefore many things between them will be the same. The main differences will be in how much the brokers markup the ticket prices and how much the service fees will be.
With Purchasetix, they seem to do very little markup of ticket prices from what TicketNetwork Direct is selling them for which is great for those looking for cheap tickets!
