She spent nearly $700 on Morgan Wallen tickets through SeatGeek, made it inside the stadium… and still got escorted out by five security guards right before the show started. This woman and her friend made it through security even after the tickets were flagged as already scanned, and was eventually allowed inside. Once she sat down, another pair of girls showed up with the same seats. After multiple checks (including a supervisor who kept pulling her out), she and her friend were escorted out of Allegiant Stadium by five security guards — right as Morgan Wallen was about to take the stage. As they were being walked out, she was reportedly told her that next time she should just use Ticketmaster. Even if SeatGeek ends up refunding her for the tickets, she’s still out thousands on flights, hotel, food, and everything else that went into the trip. SeatGeek works as both a primary seller for some events and a big secondary marketplace (resale). Problems like duplicate scanning tend to happen more often with resold tickets, which is why a lot of people (and security staff) strongly recommend buying directly from Ticketmaster or the official venue seller when possible. Have you ever had issues with third-party or resale tickets, or do you usually stick to official sellers now?
