Are vivid seat tickets legit?  Do they work the same as Ticketmaster.  Looking for options for tickets since I keep getting shut out on F2F.

    Yes.  Just as legitimate as Stub Hub or Seat Geek.

    I would avoid. Only SHub has a guarantee I trust. If you can, just play it by ear up til 24 hrs before the show, or day of. You will find SOMETHING.

    They are a secondary resale site i.e. a scalper

    But they are the official ticket resale site of ESPN

    I've used them in the past for non-PJ tix. They typically facilitate a TM transfer (but not always). SeatGeek and TickPick are pretty similar in that regard.

    Those sites are the reason we all keep getting shut out on f2f. If you can, try to wait until closer to the show to get tickets because there will be inventory once demand dies down. Those scalping sites start off by buying everything, then just lowers, then the best lowers and GA so eventually you will be able to get something without overpaying. 

    If you absolutely need to get second hand tickets now, yes, they’re legit but they don’t work like Ticketmaster. You will most likely be emailed a link to the ticket hosted on a website which is how they get around the no transfer restriction. It will look something like this:

    This is very true. As far as PJ tix go, I'd only use Vivid or another scalper service *if* you can get below face day of
