I couldn't get a decent seat though axs. Has anyone used ultimateticket.net? I'm travelling from the UK to Vegas for work and am stopping off in LA on the way home to catch this show. I need a good seat! If ultimateticket.net is reputable then it looks like I'll be paying through the nose for a good seat.

I haven't heard of ultimateticket.net but just the name makes me skeptical. Stubhub.com is very trustworthy site. I would wait until it gets closer to the date because unless its a super hot show people will worry about not getting rid of their tickets and will drop the price as it gets closer to the show.Originally Posted by bowler_hat

Thanks for your advice. I daren't leave it until closer to the date because I need to book flights etc to Vegas then have a stop over in LA on the way home. I took a look at Stubhub and you're right it's far more professional looking than UltimateTicket. I've gone ahead and paid big bucks for a good seat. This is one happy UK NIN fan that's going to get to see an American show at last!

CHECK STUBHUB - and check it often.
When there is little other choice, sometimes we are forced to look at the brokers. MOST of those sites pull from the same pool of tickets. In fact Ebay will have sellers that are selling some of the SAME tickets you will find on these broker sites. I dont claim to know all the interworkings of all the various "broker" sites - but a quick search and test will show you a lot of them are selling the same seats - they are linking to some central pool. Some vary a little bit - but a lot of the sites arent going to screw you other than the outrageous prices and fees.
I have personally used Ticketliquidator a couple times. Its fine - easy enough - but again - its a huge fee attached - but huge fees. Im not worried about being sold bogus tix on there though - but FIRST - use Stubhub.
Stubhub is an entity of its own and not to be confused with the other sites. I have personally bought and sold off of stubhub - because its "safer" than craigslist, you dont have to meet to exchange money. My job makes it so a lot of time I have to bail on a show at the last minute - but I still buy the tix just in case - and Stubhub is the safest/most reliable for both parties involved that I know of. It is not connected to what these other sites are connected to - though Im not saying brokers dont sell on there.
I would check Stubhub FIRST because a lot of times (like me) - its just someone trying to get rid of their tix cause they cant use them and they just want to recoop their money - its easy cause you just list them and when someone buys them - they are shipped fast to you and I think the fees are a little more fair from my buying experience. Recouping the money is easy too cause most sell for much higher so I list at face value and they go in a flash. Their customer support has been REALLY good in the past too.
I think watching Stubhub a LOT is your best bet for a deal, you have more of a chance of catching a listing at a fair price - but if someone lists cheap- they will go fast - so check often.
Stubhub is owned by Ebay and has become pretty much the biggest ticket selling entity in the world I think I read.
Everyone is so rushed to buy tix right now cause they went onsale - but prices will drop (esp if a second show is added) for the resale tix. My best advice is to watch Stubhub every day and see how many are changing hands and at what prices. People with good seats may have to bail on the show last minute and wont be looking for profit but just to get them sold.
good luck.
