What to look for When Buying Atlanta Concert Tickets with eBay
Dec 21st, 2009 by gary77
If you’ve been buying tickets online for any time you may have noticed that some of the dates sell out VERY quickly. It’s almost like you need 3 people on 3 different computers to even get a chance at a ticket.
I have heard of paying people to stand in line for you if they have advance ticket sales and I might even try that pretty soon.
I have seen good deals every once in awhile with eBay. And so far it’s worked out. I think the main reason is I’ve used eBay a lot for other purchases and I know what to look for.
Since I’m near Atlanta, I just search for Atlanta Concert Tickets in the search box and every once in awhile some really good deals show up. Usually it’s someone who can’t go to the show but there are ticket brokers on there also.
Here’s the deal. Look at their feedback, it’s the number next to their user name. And then look at the percentage points that’s next to their user name. Anything less than 98% I would proceed with caution.
Click on the number of feedback’s and it will take you to a page where people talk about their purchases with this eBay seller. That’s where the real clue is. And for an even closer look, check out the feedback where something went wrong. Does the seller act like a complete jerk or does he/she try to remedy the situation with money back or whatever.
Also the tone of the exchange between the two. Does the seller keep cool and try to remedy the situation?
Also a good thing about eBay is sometimes the seller will have local pickup so you can go and meet them and have the tickets handed to you. So next time you’re looking at ticket prices online and it’s just too much or sold out, run over to eBay and have a look around.
