What method of shipping will you choose for your tickets?

[Sicy]

I am curious.. please vote.

I think if I can get them via ticketfast (email) I would rather do that, as UPS requires signature on delivery and I will be at work. If I remember correctly, last time ticketmaster would not let me enter an alternate shipping address, they have to ship to your billing address and it was a big fiasco for me to finally get my tickets.

 

[bonosloveslave]

I will do whatever is cheapest

 

[Sicy]

I believe that would be via email or standard mail.

 

[JOFO]

what is ticketfast?

do they get you your tickets...ummm.....fast?

 

[Sicy]

Yes with extra sauce.

ticketFast

 

[JOFO]

Yes with extra sauce.

no really, what is it?

Ticketfast(they email you your tickets in a PDF) is the only one that I will pay for. I think they charge like $10 just for first class mail.

For some reason I'm always worried that my mail here will get lost, but nothing I've sent for so far has.

I will probably do the standard shipping I always get when I buy tickets.

 

[kellyahern]

I've always use standard mail (It should be enough time right, 2 months? )

 

[fmattyh]

Since they only send to the billing address of a credit card, I've got to go with TicketFast to eliminate some of the headaches down the road.

 

[Queen Bee]

I have a shitty printer, so I'll go with standard mail, I guess.

 

[Sicy]

I guess I worry a little about standard mail. If you are going to spend all that money for the tickets you want to be damn sure you will get them yknow

 

[bono_man2002]

I might print my tickets.
Since they will be shipping internationally....i'll want to make sure i get them.

edit: wait....I can only use ticketfast if i live the USA......

 

[Sicy]

Are you sure? I think I read it depends if the venue has capability to scan them or something.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Yes, I think they're right - you need to live in the States to get Ticketfast.

Is Will Call not an option for anyone?
Living outside the U.S., my only 2 options are standard mail or will call.

I would hope that wouldn't interfere with the GA line!

I always get regular tickets mailed. And recently I thought I had not received tickets, but I had (duh), so this is what TM does when you don't receive them, you email them and tell them, and they zap the barcode, and issue a new barcode and new tickets which you can only pick up at Will Call. Fortunately I found mine of course, and they did not "void the old tickets." I have bought from brokers where I got ticketfast ones from them, its just a big old printout, with the original buyer's name on it btw, and now at arenas all they do is scan the barcodes anyway on a ticketfast pc of paper or an actual ticket.

and Will Call can be a drag, because each arena lets you get your tickets at a different time, most of them it's not until 3 pm, or even 5 pm, day of show. Others let you just arrive anytime they're open and pick up your Will Call tickets. Call/email them on how they handle Will Call for shows.

 

[bono_man2002]

I think so.....

'If the event is in the United States:

• ticketFast is available for billing addresses in the U.S. only.

 

[miss becky]

My printer doesn't work. So it's standard mail for me.

 

[Tech]

For the most part I've used standard mail and haven't had a problem.

 

[U2SJ]

I have done Ticket Fast before, and it worked out good, so thats what Im goin with. And its the cheapest way to go too

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I am using Ticket Center Pick Up.

Order tickets online with credit card. Be given a code for my purchase. Wait 2 days. Go to ANY ticketmaster. Show Drivers ID + code. They print out my tickets on their machine. I like to keep my tickets after a show and the thicker paper is a nice touch.

It helps to have an account set up.

 

[The_acrobat]

Printing the things. That way they are in my hand when I buy them, and I don't have to stress about this anymore. This has been quite a nerve-wrecking ordeal, and the worst is yet to come tomorrow morning. Good luck.

 

[nurse chrissi]

ticketfast - I've used it in the past and liked it alot - It eliminates the angst of waiting for the tickets to come in the mail

 

[Mucca]

what do the tickets look like if they're snail-mailed? Are they printed on nice thick paper cause I would like to keep mine.

Read my post. its a couple up from yours. don't trust the mail.

 

[Sicy]

Yeah I guess the only thing is there is no ticket stub on printed tickets so I will have nothing to keep?

 

[Sicy]

I have not heard of Ticket Center pick up.

 

[stonethrowerj]
