The last thing you want to happen is to buy some tickets, only to now worry if your tickets will actually arrive on time! Learn all about ticket delivery dates and the best tips on how to make sure you get your tickets on time!
When buying resale tickets online, the first thing you’ll notice when sorting through all the available tickets is that not every ticket will have the same delivery date. It may seem odd at first because you’d expect everyone to have their tickets at the same time. However, it really depends on two things:
1) Delivery Type
Electronic and mobile delivery types will vary from Instant Delivery to 24 hours prior to the event depending on when any delivery delays are lifted. There is certainly a draw towards purchasing instant delivery tickets though as you don’t need to worry about anything. Hard stock tickets can range as well depending on when tickets are available to the seller.
2) What Date The Seller Chooses
Ticket sellers are able to pick and choose what date they think they will have the tickets available, so you may potentially see a big swing between availability dates for tickets even if they are the same ticket type. Some sellers are confident that tickets will be ready in a couple of weeks after the event goes on sale, while others may simply choose the latest date possible to give themselves the most amount of time before they need to deliver tickets.
Regardless though, tickets are guaranteed to be delivered in time for the event as long as a ticket resale site has a form of fan guarantee.

One of the benefits of using the new mobile platform should help improve the ticket delivery process. Stubhub seems to be cracking down of brokers who pre sell tickets that they do not have in hand and they figure they will just fill the orders from the street before an event. However this process can be flawed when an event rockets up in price and brokers have to bust their orders. That is a big no no for stub hub. That might even make for a good ticket tip Thursday video brokers busting orders.
Hiii! Your channel is super helpful i've been watching your videos for days now to prepare for the Twenty One Pilots presale on Monday! Do you have any tips/a specific video where you talk about getting multiple tickets at once? I'm looking to get tickets to 4 different shows all at the same time and some of the venues are TINY capacity (I'm talking 200-400 capacity with thousands of people trying to get tickets) so I already know it's going to be VERY difficult! – Thank you so much!!
what’s the presale code for the lil baby concert? 🙂
I have a question regarding the verified fan process. I was waitlisted for a recent Twenty one Pilots verified fan presale. I was wondering for the presale do they only sell a certain amount of the actual ticket quantity for the presale. Or is it that they put all of the tickets they have up for grabs? I was asking this because there were three of the more smaller intimate shows and after the presale it said “there are no tickets available at this time check back later” or something along those lines. I didn’t know if that meant that there will be no more tickets ever for that even or not. But I’m freaking out because I also have to prove to my dad that Stubhub isnt a scam(how do I know if the ticket is a scam just Incase the events I want tickets for dont have anymore available tickets and they’re only found on stubhub) if you see this thank you so much for reading I’m just freaking out cause they’re my favorite band
Looking at a potential trip to the NBA Finals.. I appreciate your help in this video!!

The game isn't until a month from now

Texas Tech Men’s Basketball tickets are in huge demand in Lubbock. I bought all of my seats individually through Vivid Seats October 11 as Texas Tech ticket office was sold out on season tickets and general admission hadn’t gone on sale. My confidence level is iffy. Can anyone speak to my situation? My tickets are supposed to be electronically delivered.
