I tried preordering concert tickets on Ticketmaster. The site wasn't working right do I tried from a different phone, and ended up on a site that looked similar to the venues, but now in the confirmation email everything says ticket center and they're a reseller. Am I going to see a show or was I taken?

I don't know anything about them, but Weird Al is coming to KC three days after SLC! I was just looking at that. But tickets are not on sale yet for it...

In reply to Wally (Forum Supporter) :

I want to say that a similar thing happened to me with CAKE tickets, under similar circumstances.

I did overpay for the tickets because they are a reseller, but the seats were valid and we got into the show with no problem.

I also had that experience with ticket-center.com last year for a Lake Street Dive show. I was trying to buy the tickets on my phone while at a bar and wasn't paying enough attention. The tickets ended up being 4x the price of normal tickets, but they did work for the show. I just won't make that mistake again.

From what I understand you probably overpaid by a lot but the tickets are real.

Weird Al is fun. I worked one of his shows years ago. Really cool guy.

Thank you all. I don't feel as bad about overpaying as I was worried about them being a scam. I've never been able to see him, it's a fun venue, and while overpriced they weren't unreasonable.

I think you're fine.  Reddit to the rescue.  Looks like they're shady AF, and terrible customer service, but people report that the tix are legit

The number of companies this could apply to is shocking

I was going to tease Wally and say that he didn't get robbed by the ticket seller, he's getting robbed because he's seeing Weird Al.  :)

(I actually like Weird Al, though.)
