Who is VIP Tix and How Can VIP Tix Help Me?

Buy and sell tickets at VIP Tix!


Who is VIP Tix?

There is only one ticket broker in Buffalo, New York, that provides services for buying and selling event tickets. VIP Tix began operating in 1993 to help fans buy and sell event tickets. VIP Tix has grown to offer a wide range of tickets for events not only in the Buffalo area, but around the world as well.

VIP Tix is a ticket broker that offers a wide selection of tickets for sports, concerts, and theater events. They have a user-friendly website at VIPtix.com that make it easy to find and purchase tickets. They provide a secure platform for buying and selling tickets, as well as a 100% FanSafe Guarantee that ensures buyers receive valid tickets on time.

VIP Tix is known in the industry for providing exceptional and reliable customer service and for offering competitive prices on event tickets.

 

How does VIP Tix offer so many event tickets in all of the different markets?

VIP Tix aggregates tickets from a variety of sources, including primary ticket sellers, other ticket brokers, and fans trying to sell tickets.

 

How is VIP Tix different from the other ticket companies?

VIP Tix offers a range of services and benefits to our customers, including a wide selection of tickets, competitive pricing, and secure purchasing options. What separates VIP Tix from the rest is our customer service. Our customer service team is lead by Ms. Alex Skomra, simply the best in the business! Alex has been with our team for over 10 years. She is a people person who naturally loves to help people and she instills this culture into our customer service department. We are old-fashioned in a way where we answer our phones. We have grown through technology but we do not let technology get in the way when helping our clients navigate tickets for an event. There are so many people that need help choosing tickets and accepting a ticket transfer for instance. It’s the effort our team places to help our clients navigate the ever changing technology that is what separates us from the other ticket companies.

 

How can VIP Tix compete with the big boys in the industry like Ticketmaster, Stubhub, Vivid Seats and Seatgeek?

Simply put, we do not have the expenses that our competitors have. VIP Tix is a privately held company that has always been self-funded. That makes us nimble, quick and efficient! VIP Tix ticket prices are extremely competitive. Often times we even can match Ticketmaster box office prices, and more often than not, we can BEAT Ticketmaster as many of our event tickets are offered at lower than box office prices. Compare our prices to the rest and you’ll be surprised.

 

Buyer Beware: Don’t fall for the ticket industry gimmick of a lower initial published price only to get socked with ticket fees at the end of the transaction.

VIP Tix prices and service fees are built in up front. We don’t follow the standard and widely accepted ticket industry gimmick. **VIP Tix offers transparent pricing so there are no surprises on the back end!**  Read that last sentence again. VIP Tix offers transparent pricing so there are no surprises on the back end. The price you see initially is the price you pay. Buyer beware, as Ticketmaster, Stubhub, Vivid Seats and Seat Geek all use a lower initial price and sock it to you with exorbitant fees on the back end of the transaction. Abort the transaction and head straight to VIP Tix! Although NYS recently passed a law prohibiting the hiding of service fees, all of the other states have not implemented the law and the industry gimmick is still going strong. Don’t get fooled!

 

How has dynamic pricing changed the industry?

It has changed the industry significantly. Ticketmaster has recently implemented dynamic pricing at the box office. The rules have changed and our clients are filled with questions. That means for the majority of events, prices usually start high and move lower as we get closer to the event. It often doesn’t make sense financially to buy tickets when they first go on sale other than to offer peace-of-mind. Patience is a virtue these days when buying event tickets as almost always, event ticket prices get reduced as we get closer to the event date.

 

Do ticket prices rise or fall as we get closer to the event?

Ticket prices are often determined by supply and demand in the market. When the demand for tickets is high and the supply is limited, the price of tickets tends to increase. Conversely, when the demand for tickets is low and the supply is high, the price tends to decrease.

 

Can VIP Tix help determine if prices will rise or fall?

Yes! VIP Tix has access to the number of seats available for an event at any given time.  We watch the supply number closely for any event, and thus we can relay this info to our clients that are looking to buy or sell at the right price.

From The CEO: 2019 VIPTIX State Of The Union Address

Dear VIPTIX Customers,

Good morning! We wanted to reach out to let you know where we have been and where we are going- a sort of VIPTIX State Of The Union Address. Please take a moment to read.

Our First Chapter!

Our ticket business was born over 26 years ago after recognizing a need to better help people buy and sell event tickets while running the Memorial Auditorium Box Office in downtown Buffalo, NY.  In the late 80’s and early 90’s I would answer the phone and listen to a desperate person looking to BUY tickets to a sold out show. I would also take calls from those who had extra tickets to SELL but our policy, like most box offices in those days, was No Refunds/ No Exchanges!

My nature was to naturally help people so I would link those fans looking to buy tickets with those looking to sell. I can’t begin to tell you how many times this happened and how many fans I made happy by just doing the right thing!

So in the summer of 1993, I had my A-HA moment and decided to provide this ticket service in an entertainment and ticket industry where no one was truly looking out for the average Fan! What I thought would be a part-time side-hustle business for me, turned into a full-time passionate business and career!

The evolution of our business.

In the early years we were primarily a local brick-and-mortar business that grew by helping one client at a time to buy and sell tickets. Then the internet was born. We invested in a website at VIPTIX.com and back-end technology that propelled our business to the next level. Although we faced a lot more competition, the secondary market was alive and strong because finally the need to put the consumer first was the right thing to do! To say our industry faced backlash was an understatement. Why? Because those companies that had a monopoly in the industry tried to protect what they felt was theirs. Ticket laws changed. As a business you either embrace the changes or you die. VIPTIX found itself right in the middle of a changing industry and although successful, we find that we are still evolving with new challenges every day.

Our story continues today…

The online event ticket industry was estimated at 49.5 Billion in 2017 with growth expected at 4.5% annually. The big boys have entered the online industry over the last decade so that means increased competition for VIPTIX which has only made us stronger! Our business model has changed slightly but our efforts are still the same- doing the right thing to help our clients buy and sell tickets worldwide. Service is key!

We have experienced a new growth helping venues sell tickets online in the secondary market and in handling international event tickets. Our prices are ultra-competitive to those in our industry and we match any of our online competitor’s prices!

Thank you!

I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for putting your trust in us over the last 26+ years and bringing us to where we are today. We come to work everyday for you. Our account managers, vendors and data scientists… everybody is driven to make our ticket service better and easier for you. This commitment is stronger than ever during this exciting time.

We appreciate your loyalty and thinking about VIPTIX each and every time you need to buy and sell event tickets anywhere! Please feel free to reach out to me directly to communicate any feedback, comments or ticket requests at nick@viptix.com . You will find a list of our current best selling events below.

Sincerest gratitude,

Nick Giammusso
