    Safest bet - thought costs a little more is stub hub. Never had a problem - quick delivery and they have a guarantee.

    Ebay can be cheaper - though slightly riskier - more feedback the seller has the better.

    Also most sites share the same tickets. The key is to find the source broker of the tickets. For example the Broker that actually has the pari fo tickets puts the tickets up for $200 each - Broker B who knows Broker A has the tickets puts them up for $225 so he can make $25 just by knowing where to get the tickets.

    SHOW COUNT: (159) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=103, US=118, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=2, Australia=2
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1 

    Upcoming:   Aucklandx2, Gold Coast, Melbournex2

    Its a shared network, kinda like real estate. There is the listing agent and then the agent that sells the ticket.

    I have never had a problem with stub hub or razor gator. But DO NOT buy ticketfast printouts. Hard tickets only.

    They buy them off each other and then mark them up as they see necessary.

    So...If you buy from let's say Ticketsnow... A broker can buy tickets from the broker that posted them or the broker that is in possession of them for like 10% less than anyone else or something like that. So...if you don't shop around and you just go to broker #1 and buy them you may pay more than if you shopped around because broker #1 will buy them from the broker that is in possession of them and then mark them to whatever price he decides to quote you.

    Does that make sense? I think that is basically the way it works.

    Good luck.
