Anytickets.com If you order--prepare to be wildly overcharged!!! Houston, Texas
This outfit takes your money at an inflated price, waits (if all goes as they plan) until tickets are made more cheaply available at the last minute; then buys cheap and sends you your "expensive" tickets. PLUS they charge a huge delivery fee. I was charged $463.50 for tickets with a face value of $157, for a show that was not selling well and was by no means sold out.
The delivery fee was $58.50 for two computer printed tickets that could easily have been transmitted through the internet for nothing. They merely use delivery as a pretext for ripping off their customers.
Certainly I will never buy from these people again. I was, so to speak, tricked into it, because their agency came up first in a google or yahoo search (and who is getting paid to put them first, I wonder?)
What they do is within the law; it is just that it represents terrible value and is essentially a cheat!
Beware!

First off we are sorry you are unsatisfied.
NOTE: All of our fees are disclosed up front. There are no surprise charges.
If you don't like the fees, or think we have "inflated" prices, then you don't need to purchase the tickets. As a smart consumer you should by all means do some research and hunt for the best deal possible.
We specialize in getting the best seats possible. We don't specialize in discount tickets, but our tickets have to be price competitively or they won't sell.
Our clients want the hottest tickets in town but don't have time to sit in line at the box office or compete to get these seats. So they pay us a premium to get these seats for them. That is what a ticket broker does.
All of our prices are based on the market value of the ticket (not the face value). It is simply supply and demand. If there lots of people who want to go to an event and only a few tickets, the price rises to reflect that.
Trust me, when our seats aren't selling we lower our prices fast. We don't want to be stuck with worthless tickets after the event is over.

"PLUS they charge a huge delivery fee. I was charged $463.50 for tickets with a face value of $157,"
Surely, they didn't charge you this much without your knowlege. Why did you agree to pay $463 for the tickets if they were readily available for $157? If that is what you agreed to pay and they delivered the tickets you ordered, I don't see a ripoff.
Everyone knows that ticket brokers charge a premium over face value. If price was such a concern, you should have stood in line at the box office with everyone else. This sounds more like a case of buyers remorse than a ripoff.
