    Im looking for tickets to an upcoming sold out concert. It will be a special event so I want really great seats.
    Before I shell out the big bucks to a scalper or broker, I was hoping that a fellow clutchfan could shed some light on their previous experiences.
    Of course I tried the obvious ebay and craigslist, but I really didnt find anything that suited my taste. So the next step was trying different brokers and seeing who has the best deal.
    In doing so I noticed that many of them appear to have the same ticket stock!? but some appear to be cheaper than others!! So before I make the plunge I just wanted to see if anyone had experience with a more affordable ticket broker.

    Your help is appreciated.

    They're all the same, and they're all going to jack you up.

    Either way you are not going to pay face value unless you get very lucky.

    Have fun and good luck!

    im looking for < 10 rows from the stage.
    my chances of landing these otherwise were pretty much slim to none
    this is for a special anniversary night out

    i noticed that a lot of these online places use the same stock.
    some charge more, some less, some hit you with ridiculous service fees etc.
    im just going to keep looking and go with the lowest one if nobody recommends anything. i assume any of them are safe because they all offer the same tickets.
    i googled the event and row and a bunch of them popped up.

    If anything, just call them up and try to bargain with them, if there isn't any interest, sometimes they go down in their price, of course your still going to pay more than face, but its worth a shot.
