Sounds like New Orleans and Miami are the best Super Bowl cities to go to.

I'm a bit unlucky, going to New Orleans for four days and they're the four days Vue Orleans isn't open. It was the #1 thing I wanted to visit there and obviously without researching these things in advance, you'd just assume it was open seven days a week.

Used Onlocation. Bought them around June/July. Came with a pre-game 2 hour package. Probably ended up paying around 2K more than trying to get them the week of.
Vivid seats still had a seats for sale the whole week lead up

Hey mate,

I see you used On Location to purchase your Super Bowl tickets. A quick look shows they don't offer NBA or NHL tickets.

You also mentioned you went to the NBA & NHL. How did you go about purchasing tickets there? A few months ago I asked a similar question in this chat and I think one or two people suggested Stub Hub...

I've heard a couple of negative experiences with Stub Hub, though, with people scamming / not honouring the sale. I just don't know if that's worth the stress, unless you (or someone else) can offer me peace of mind.

I used Vivid seats mate. The app was super easy and didn't have a hassle. I didn't really price shop around, but the NBA tickets in Brooklyn were around $200 US and really good seats.
NhL was around $90 and further up, but can see everything.
You also get a view of your seat when looking at tickets which is cool, but most sites do that.

Interesting mate, very helpful.

I've just purchased tickets to the NBA and was able to save over $200 for 4x tickets compared to my previous quotes which includes Stub Hub.

Purchasing tickets to the NHL is only marginally cheaper than two other quotes I received, but the cheapest remains Stub Hub by far (saving $160 for the four tickets).

FWIW, this is the confirmation page via Stub Hub showing $86 AUD.

Initially it would appear as though you get a similar price at Vivid, as per below...

However, when you go to pay, they add a crazy amount of fees (an extra $195 AUD).

It's strange they add these fees for the NHL but not the NBA. Must have something to do with their contract with those specific leagues.

Does anyone know if Stub Hub charges similar fees?

I've used stubhub a few times in 2014 and 2022.
Got NBA, NHL and MLB tickets

Never had an issue but only used on the recommendation of my brother who had been before .

Last trip I got MLB tickets to see Anaheim , were $12 usd - great value

It might also depends on if tax is included or not. Some you have to pay the additional tax.
But yeah, that additional "Service total" is pretty gross
 
I used a Ticketmaster or stubhub. Seatgeek another time. I think Ticketmaster includes all their fees up front. Don’t change the price but no nasty surprise when you’re checking out lol.

The right baseball game is amazing live. Posted a few pages back about games at Dodger Stadium and Petco Park. Especially Petco. Downtown location with great city views, packed ballpark and amazing weather.

TickPick is my go-to for tickets over here. No additional fees, but they are baked in to their prices. However more often than not, TickPick works out cheaper than their competitors.
 
David Copperfield show was pretty arse. Cirque de solei wasn't too bad.
Went for a walk down fremont St, was pretty cool.

Saw a bar thay was Haloween themed, was pretty busy, so we popped in, thought it was odd it had a cover charge.. ended up being a My Bloody Valentine burlesque show.
Oh well, when in Rome lol
