All I have to say is for people buying online to read the terms and services agreement that you must check before you are allow to purchase tickets. Because TicketFast tickets are a popular way to get tickets into the hands of customers, email fraud is rampant. We all want our customers to get their tickets in a timely manner but if you are ordering tickets the day of the event and even just hours of the event please be prepared to jump a few hoops to verify you are the card holder. Other then that... helpful hint... we are required to ship to the billing address of the credit card so shipping to your work address? again, you might have to jump a few hoops.

Ebay I understand because they have buyer protection and you can oay through Paypal. That is pretty secure. But House Seats is NOT listed (I assume because they fall into the category of having an annual membership fee), and Cragslist IS? Craigslist is neither safer nor more secure, and probably even less safe/secure than going to the place andbuying from a scalper. :p Well now wait a minute.
