Does anyone know how, or who, or why there are PJ seats or sale on Vivid? What is Vivid Seats? There are no seats on Stubhub, which makes sense.

I thought you can only do Fan To Fan via Ticketmaster?

    For Chicago, tickets are transferable, so they could totally be on those sites, albeit, 10c tickets found there above FV could be cancelled.

    For the other shows, the sellers are gambling that they will find a way to get the advertised ticket into the buyer’s hands by show time.  The hacks for that are known by people other than me, but they exist.  In a lot of cases, the only remedy to the buyer is reimbursement if that fails, so it’s very much buyer beware especially if traveling and incurring a bunch of unrecoverable costs based on a purchase like that.  Personally I’d steer clear of it for lots of reasons, not the least of which is respecting what PJ is trying to achieve.

    Season ticket holders for the teams that are the main occupant of the buildings don’t have the same restrictions ten club does. I know someone that bought off vivid last year and there were no problems.

    Getting a little nervous about the Vegas shows since I purchased my tix through Vivid. I've been to a few before with tix from Vivid with no issue, but I read a few complains online recently, and there was an article about a show in April where over 200 people were turned away with fraudulent Stubhub and Vivid tickets. 

    Anyone else in the same boat and uneasy about it? If I was turned away, I'd be hustling to scalp tickets last minute. Is scalping on site even a thing any more though?

    Tickets are available on ticketmaster until 8:30. If you go right at doors and the tickets don't work, you'd have time to find something on TM. Scalping on site isn't really a thing anymore with mobile tickets but there are always fans with extras

    There will be face value tickets available on TM for Vegas the day of the show so you will get in the building for sure. Just look at both Vegas shows right now on TM. There are plenty available. 

    With regards to Vivid tickets working you are at the luxury of Portland fans having to be the people that will first find out if they will work or not. 

    What do you have right now for your ticket? A barcode or nothing yet?

    Phew, that's tremendously reassuring. Thank you both. Right now I've got a barcode for night two, and a promise of e-delivery by 5/15 for night one. What I was reading though said that even a barcode with the line scrolling across it can be fake. I'll report back!

    Let us know if you can add it to your wallet. That is the main issue now. Apparently, the tickets need to be in your Apple or Google wallet to work.

    Really? They won't accept them on the Vivid phone app?

    Seems like they backed off the wallet requirement, at least for now. If there's a barcode that can be scanned, you should get in
