Oddly enough, one of the most impressive things about the Midwest's oldest and most reputable ticket brokers, "TicketSolutions.com" (which you'll get to by going to tickets4u.com) is not a part of its secondary market ticket brokering business, it's its links directory. With easy access to a wealth of interesting, entertaining, and relevant sites on all sorts of subjects (categorized for our convenience), you can forego buying tickets to an event altogether and simply spend a much less expensive evening browsing all the neat sites Ticket Solutions points you to.
OK, so that may be a little overboard (but then again, so is their directory -- so there!), so now we'll get back to why we're all here, which is to learn how Ticket Solutions compares to the competition in the secondary market ticket brokering business, and that is -- in a word -- adequately. Prices at TicketSolutions is generally higher than industry average and their service charge is hidden at 15% until after you register and buy your tickets!

Guarantees
Unparalleled 200% guarantee! (it has many stipulations, but still, that's peace of mind); we're not really sure what this guarantee means as it is not clearly spelled out. Does it mean that the company will double your money if the tickets we receive are not what we wanted? -- We are doing some investigation into this guarantee. |
