Electronic tickets

How risky is it to buy tickets on game day from someone around the stadium? My main question is, how do you tell if they tickets are legit? I’m fairly low tech so maybe it’s too much for me to handle?

They can show you the ticket in the Ticketmaster app. Not a screenshot, in the app.

My 16 yr. old probably knows how to handle it!

I am sure. I know mine do.

You wait until the tickets are transferred into your Ticketmaster wallet before you pay. Jes was correct about showing in the Ticketmaster wallet and not a screen shot as well. One thing to know is that in the wallet, there is a moving line that goes from left to right and back and forth over the barcode. A screenshot will not be able to do that.

I don’t know how they do it with spotty cell service.

At the Bama game my service was gone after the Vol Walk. Didn’t really come back until about 30 min after the game.

It's tricky, at least to me it is. Say you're making the purchase, the sender can recall those tickets up to the point you go in and actually claim them. So once money is exchanged, you can't just let those tickets sit out there in limbo, you have to go in and claim them or seller still has recall rights and your out the $$$$.

Put your tickets in your Apple Wallet before you leave the house, or your Android wallet, and your phone doesn't need cell service --data or wifi-- to pull them up.

As a verizon customer I would not try to buy/sell tickets near the stadium because the cell service is hit or miss....mostly miss. I'd buy before going over there.

As a seller I'd want the money before sending tickets. As a buyer I'd want the tickets before sending the money. You just have to find somebody "trustworthy" to deal with. The ticketmaster fees definitely suck but honestly for me it's worth it to protect both the buyer and the seller.

That's great advice for people that already have tickets, but I think you'd need service to buy/sell tickets like the op is asking, right?

You don't need wifi if they are in a digital wallet. But, to your point, I purchased paper tickets as well this year. Glad I did, the akron game tickets disappeared from my wallet that Saturday morning, coming back up after the game, when we walked back to the garage. At the gate for the AL game, my digital worked, but my husbands did not. They saw I had two digital tickets so they let us both go in assuming it was a glitch. I'll also add, the couple that have sat beside us for years, their digital tickets disappeared for the akron game as well, the showed back up around halftime.

Was better seats but they were not gonna let us in...lol
