Ticket pirates - Finding high demand tickets for low prices

STUBHUB.COM
Stubhub.com is the leader in the secondary
ticket market and was recently acquired by
EBAY on January 2007. Stubhub.com is not a
ticket broker, they are a site that allows
regular people like you and me to buy and sell
tickets. Some of the sellers on the site are
not looking to profit from these sales, so a lot
of the time Stubhub.com is probably one of the
best places to buy tickets in the secondary
market because prices will be reasonable.
Stubhub.com charges a 10% service fee and
charges $11.95 to $24.95 for delivery fees
depending on how quickly you want your
tickets shipped to you.




RAZORGATOR.COM Razorgator is probably the leader in the secondary ticket broker world. Being around for over 30 years, RazorGator has managed to partner up with many of the big name sports teams and some artist. Basically, Razorgator has a great reputation because they have learned how to do it right! RazorGator charges a 10% service fee and offers two delivery methods: Fed Ex Standard - $17.50 and Fed Ex Priority - $20.50.

FIND THE BEST CHOICE TO BUY YOUR TICKETS!

What this site is about:

Have you ever wanted to go to a concert
or a football game and discovered it was
sold out? If you have, you would of
noticed that if you still wanted to go to
that concert or game you would have had
to pay more than face-value for those
tickets.

Many people or companies take
advantage of this economic effect and
mark-up these tickets as much as they
can. In other words, they mark these
tickets up as much as people are willing
to pay for them (the market price.)

The purpose of this site is to inform
people about the various different
choices of ticket brokers available.
Having this knowledge will make us
ticket consumers equipped with the
abilities to make the best choice while
paying the least amount for the event we
would like to attend.

So get familiar with the more popular
ticket brokers and get ready to see
Madonna, The Police or Springsteen in
concert....or perhaps see Frank Gore run
the ball for the 49ers in a NFL
game......or perhaps see Baron Davis
lead the Clippers this year in a NBA
game...... or even see A-Rod hit one out
for the Yankees in a MLB game.....all for
the cheapest prices you can find....have
fun shopping!!

FEATURED TICKET BROKERS



	TICKETMASTER.COM TicketMaster.com is a primary ticket broker. Meaning, Ticketmaster.com sells tickets at the events face value. Ticketmaster has been around for over 30 years and leads the industry in ticket sales. If the event is not sold out, chances are you can find your event here! However, if the event is sold out, you will have to look at secondary ticket brokers listed below. Ticketmaster is notoriously known for the hefty fees that they charge. These charges are a convenience fee (for each ticket) that varies per event, a order processing fee (flat fee), and sometimes a facility fee (which is charged per ticket by the venue and not TicketMaster.) Ticketmaster also charges for delivery, however standard mail and will call fees are included in the order processing fee.




TICKETSNOW.COM Ticketsnow.com is one of the bigger Ticket brokers in the secondary market. Ticketsnow.com best quality is there customer service.

TICKETCITY.COM TicketCity started back in 1990 and claims to have became the first Ecommerce site in ticket industry launching on August 8th, 1990.

EBAY.COM Again, EBAY now owns StubHub, but stills allows people to buy and sell on EBAY's site. Since StubHub charges a 10% service fee to buy their tickets, EBAY would be the better alternative to purchase tickets since you only pay for the selling price of the tickets and the shipping fee. However EBAY is limited in providing ticket selection. The best way to use EBAY for buying tickets, is to take a look and get the feel for the market value of a ticket and its respective seating section, then place bids that do not exceed the market value. You will be surprised how many good deals you can get by doing this. This strategy works best with frequent sporting events like the NFL, MLB, and NBA.



PURCHASETIX.COM Purchasetix.com is powered by TicketNetwork Direct. TicketNetwork Direct is one of the big players in the ticket industry and provides website templates and software for many ticket brokers. So if Purhasetix.com looks familiar, chances are you have seen the same template before. TicketNetwork Direct usually takes 3% of each sale for providing its website software and template. Purchasetix.com, compared to other TicketNetwork Direct partners (and other ticket brokers in general), seem to usually be the lowest in price. They charge the standard 15% service fee.
