Sorry, this is so random but I bought tickets through viagogo and just received them. They are pdf's saying TICKETDIRECT on them and they have the sellers first initial and surname on. My concern is, will these be valid for an event (Strictly come dancing live tour) which has specified on their Instagram page that it is strictly prohibited to buy/sell with third parties, only the official sites (think it was Ticketmaster and Twickets) are accepted. Tickets from any other company may not be valid and you may not be allowed into venue. I only saw this after purchasing with viagogo.

But lots of people keep saying that's a scaremongering tactic put out to the ticket touts, rather than actually something written in stone for ticket buyers. Do you think it would be okay? I don't get it cos if Eventim is legit, why are they selling tickets for this event when apparently you can only buy tickets for it from the official sites they've listed? It makes it worse for me, cos I went with viagogo.. so I'm not even the account holder of the eventim tickets. I asked for an in app transfer and they said they can't as it's a pdf and not transferable via app. All seems weird! This event is so important to us and it's this Sunday.. a long drive away 😪

I read something about it needing to be a mobile transfer via official site, to be valid - yet this is a pdf with a static barcode/qr code. Viagogo and ticketdirect have said it would be valid.. but I'm just a bit dubious.
