    Any info/experiences using the $100 Vivid Seat Giftcards on SBR?

    Seems like the absolute best value to go with these on SBR when cashing points.
    I am going to Mets-Marlins in Miami first week of September and was wondering how bad this site is to use the giftcards on?
    At first glance of their website, the prices seem to be pretty comparable to Stubhub.

    Anyone have any opinions or experiences with them- good or bad?

    Their fees are very high, but otherwise I've used them a few times with no problems.

    Cost is much higher than other ticket merchants.

    The fees are higher than the others, but I have used 2 $100 SBR gift cards and have had no problems with them at all.

    Vividseats' service fees are ridiculous. I've used gift cards from here twice before; no problems getting the codes.

    You will get more bang for your buck using eBay or Craigslist. But then again, you will have to use real cash for those. Just depends if you want value (not Vivid Seats) or "free" expensive tickets.

    It is the best value from SBR. No doubt. I don't know any other ticket service company's to compare prices to though? (The going rate?)

    They are a good value in the SBR store. Just keep in mind when comparing to other sites that there fees are a little higher.

    Thanks for the info boys.
    After reading in here I see no problem getting $200 of gift cards with Vivid for 3500 pts on here instead of my usual Wal-mart gift card of $100 for 3150 pts.

    I think I've used $700 of Vivid Seats codes in the last few years, best deal on SBR.

    benny i was a season ticket holder first two seasons in the new house... Now i just scalp when i go to the games. Me and my friends paid $15 cash for 4 seats. Then we ended up 5th row behind home base . This was last wednesday day game vs Rangers. Nick Martinez pitched for the Rangers.

    Do not spend big money on tickets to the marlins. there isn't a bad seat in the entire stadium.. and i spend most of my time at the budweiser bar in left field..
