It’s now easier than ever to find seats to your favorite local events. The reason for this is because of the huge number of ticket sites that are out there now. Here is a selection of just a few of them, so you can compare between the event sites and choose the features you want.

SeatGeek

SeatGeek has a number of options that will be well-suited for mobile users like the ability to check out what an event venue would look like from a particular seat. You can buy tickets from the app and even send them to others, or sell them.

Features

• SeatGeek App-This app is available for both Android and Apple. It gets over 4 stars with more than 10,000 reviews in the Play Store.
• Interactive Seat Charts-The Android app specifically lets you look at where all the seats are on a map for an event so you can figure out which one works for you based on the pricing. You can even see what the view looks like from that seat with panoramic photographs.
• DealScore-Each ticket is color coded from best to worst based on the company’s assessment of how good the deal you’re looking at is based on the average.

Stubhub

The Stubhub site constantly updates to give you event options based on your current location. You can easily choose what date you want, and even change your location, all from the top of the website.

Features

• Instant Local Event Listings-The listings just pop up right away when you visit the site, based on your IP. This makes it easier to go right to the one you want, since all of the info you need, including picture, date, time, and tickets left, comes right up. You’re less likely to waste your time on this site.
• Sell Tickets-If you click on the “sell tickets” option in the top right corner of the screen, you can get right to options for selling your tickets.
• Quick Event Category Searches-You can also click on the “find events” section at the top left to go right to the topics that you want whether this is music, sports or anything else.

Ticket Liquidator

Ticket Liquidator does a lot of business, and they offer more than 65,000 different events with millions of tickets available overall.

Features

• 200% Moneyback Guarantee-Ticket Liquidator guarantees that your tickets will be legitimate from your seller to the point that if your tickets don’t come in time for the event, aren’t legitimate, aren’t the right tickets or others that are compareable, or go to a cancelled event, you’ll get your money back.
• Long Support Hours-The support hours go 7 days a week, and they last from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. EST. This increased the lilikhood that you’ll be able to get help for your ticket issues before the event happens.
• McAfee Secure-The seal in the bottom right corner is the kind that you can click to make sure that the site you’re using is completely problem-free up to the day that you use it. This can be a helpful extra guarantee for those worried about cyber-security.

VividSeats

VividSeats definitely seems a bit sports-concentrated considering they list the MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA and NCAA as separate categories each on the top of the main page. They also heavily advertise for sports on the site.

Features

• Norton Security-This seal shows you security for the site based on the current day. You can click on it in the bottom right. The TrustE seal is also there as well.
• A+ Rating BBB-The site has a good rating for BBB from their base in Chicago. It means that they clear complaints well.
• VividSeats for Business-If you click on this option in the bottom of the main page, you can get help with corporate ticket sales as well as concierge services. VividSeats wants to help you to get live events to increase your corporate influence.  

Head to Head

Features

SeatGeek is a service that works well for mobile users since you can do so much from your phone with it. You can check out panoramic POV from a seat before buying it, for example. You can get a deal score to make sure you’re not being ripped off too.

StubHub has a bit of a barebones website, but this means that it can be easier for many people to navigate than a lot of the alternatives. You’ll see the events relevant to your area come right up in big, clear boxes.

Ticket Liquidator has strong security and moneyback guarantee features. This makes it a strong choice for those worried about getting tickets through an online source. McAfee is what they use for Internet security, for example. The features aren’t as impressive in terms of flashiness compared to a place like SeatGeek, but it definitely gets the job done.

VividSeats makes it a bit more difficult to see the price of tickets than the other sites. You have to actually click through everything in order to actually get to the pricing. Most other sites have the pricing right on the top page next to all of the other information. This is also the case when it comes to the number of seats available as well.

Overall, SeatGeek has some of the most impressive features for their mobile apps since you can really feel like you’re there in the event venues with their POV type feature. Many of the other sites mostly focus on making it easier to get the event tickets you want with the least amount of hassle.

Pricing

SeatGeek has pricing that starts at around $61 for R.Kelly tickets. Other examples includes bands like the Violent Femmes that go for $49 at the low end.

StubHub has tickets such as R.Kelly tickets on sale for between $67 and $87 for the same location.

Ticket Liquidator also has R. Kelly tickets starting at $67.

VividSeats offers seats to R.Kelly seats for $47 for Loge Level all the way up to $107 for Row 1 seats.
