I stumbled upon this site while looking for tickets to some of the shows on Broadway that are harder to come by. I was curious if anyone has actually given this website a go and, if so, what they thought about it. There are so many ticketing scams out there that I wanted to get some feedback before I ordered anything.

I search for tickets constantly and I have found that most of the sites have the exact same tickets but just charge different prices, some have a "service charge" which can add up to 15% more to the cost.
The exception is StubHub which seems to have a different allocation of tickets (more individual sellers) but also has a "service charge".

I think they all are reputable it's just a matter of how much you want to pay. Keep checking Telecharge and Ticketmaster because tickets are released all the time.

The only one I would trust is stubhub. Yes, they are owned by Ebay, but they have different rules then Ebay does when it comes to selling tickets.

Ebay let's you sell them for whatever you want but you could say that your selling tickets and actually not give them to the person who bought them. It could be a sham etc.

On stubhub, they have it so that if the person selling the tickets doesn't

On stubhub, they have it so that if the person selling the tickets doesn't follow through on their agreement then their card gets charged whatever amount including the service and shipping charge that the person buying them was going to have to pay.

There really isn't an incentive to lie on stubhub while there might be one for Ebay.
