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.

2020 has been quite the year for sports and entertainment. For the first time in decades, whole sports seasons are cancelled, artists tours are postponed to months in the future, and there are no summer events or gatherings to look forward to. This is all due to the notable Covid-19 virus.

As summer rolls on, many are looking forward to the fall, and the return of America’s favorite Sunday event, the NFL. There has been talk of a fanless season this year, but what if there was a way to get the stadium safely back to full capacity again?

Are drones the future of cleaning and sanitizing venues?

The idea of drone companies using their devices to sanitize sports stadiums such as the field, domes, and parks is one that could change the future of sports and entertainment in a post Covid-19 world. This would allow for more frequent and thorough cleanings of these stadiums while still continuing with the normal routine cleanings. This extra layer of sanitization could allow crowd gatherings to be safer and return quicker, but is also more cost effective than using only human services to disinfect.

Many companies are starting to advertise their agricultural drones as stadium sanitizing solutions, but studies have shown that this type of drone does not have the capability to disinfect the way it is being promoted. EagleHawk is the first company to create a drone with the ability to follow through with its promises to disinfect properly. According to their CEO Patrick Walsh, “EagleHawk has spent months researching, designing, and testing our solutions to ensure we’re offering a safe and effective service for our clients and are working closely with regulatory agencies such as the FAA, EPA and New York DEC to ensure all safety standards and protocols are followed.” They have recently tested their product at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY and found much success.

The future of sports and entertainment is very unknown up to this point. VIPTIX is happy to see the entrepreneurial spirit come alive to arrive at solutions to new problems in entertainment amid the Covid-19 pandemic.  These innovative companies are implementing steps to provide for a safer return when the time comes!
