As much as I want to love this, I'm wary — how's SeatGeek protecting against fraudulent tickets? How is my purchase protected? Does (can?) SeatGeek validate the ticket themselves?
TicketMaster, the monopoly that they are, can do this with their resale marketplace (of course, the ticket needs to come from them in the first place), but since SeatGeek aggregates, I don't think they have this superpower.
- DrScump 11y agoOnly the official marketplace can validate the barcodes. For example, Ticketexchange for most pro sports other than baseball and StubHub for most major league baseball teams. An individual can do an ad hoc validation of a given ticket by trying to create a listing on the official marketplace. You will be able to create a listing only if the ticket is valid and unencumbered (by an existing resale listing).
